"I turned off toilets from Nov 2012-Jan 19th 2013. I turned all the water back on when I got home on the 19th of January. In just 10 days left on the City of Baytown billing cycle my water bill was higher than if I had watered my grass in July. After City of Baytown came to investigate upon my complaint of bill it was discovered while I turned off each valve in the house that 2 toilets were running. One of them was really cranking the water meter the other was a trickle. I turned them both off and knew I should call a plumber but the fear of the unknown costs and service scared me. So from January 29th - April 8th I used one working toilet which was the Lav on the first floor. The Master and Guest toilets upstairs were cut off. Then on April 8th Direct TV installer asked to use my Lav and broke the 1 working toilet. The pulley that attaches to the suction cup in the tank and the handle was completely broken off. I had to submerge my hand & arm in the tank and pull the flapper to get the toilet to now flush. A review of Angies List in my area was now in order. Then I looked up the top 10 questions to ask when looking for a Plumber. Then I looked the 3 I narrowed to on Better Business Bureau. I then looked up their Licensing info on Texas State of Licensing (https://licensing.hpc.state.tx.us/datamart/mainMenu.do) to see their License # and Expiry Date. I narrowed down to 2 as the third I could not find on BBB Accredited or non-accredited or on the Texas State Licensing site. A few phone calls later Wedgeworth although closer to me than Bay Coast does not service my area, Lee from Bay Coast Plumbing calling me back. My fear kicked in about price and how long and when but Lee educated me and tried to put to rest my fairs. Gave me an hourly rate and approx time it may take but advised until someone comes out he is not sure what the time and parts will be but tried his best to estimate. Advise the Plumber will let me know what needs to be done and how long before he starts. Lee really worked with me as a Plumber was scheduled from 1:30-3pmish arrival. If they arrived at 3pm then I would be screwing over the Women's Shelter in Houston I am scheduled to help feed/serve from 4:30pm. He then scheduled a Plumber who lived between my home and the Bay Coast Plumbing office who would service my home on his way to work. That new schedule was 7:30am. Peter arrived at 7:20am and called me 10-15 minutes before his arrival. He was so patient as I had the Direct TV tech (who broke the 1 working toilet the day before) on the phone trying to trouble shoot having no signal. I showed Peter all 3 toilets while trouble shooting on the phone and he went to work bless his soul without much attention from me. When I got off the phone I checked in with Peter who was almost complete with the work. He replaced all 3 flappers and 2 ballcocks on the Master and Lav bathrooms. He even tried to help with my questions on how to replace the guest bathroom toilet tank cover that got smashed up when artwork and stones in a vase fell from wall on top of toilet tank. Peter told me try to reach out to Manufacturer that was listed inside the tank. Turns out only tank that had the info was the one that is cracked. Peter was fast, efficient, done in less than the hour and explained everything he had to do and what to do to extend the life and the warranty on a valve in the tank by not hanging those harsh chemical bowl cleaners inside the tank as it erodes the valves. I did not pay hundreds or thousands for a simple job like my fear had me thinking, and did not feel price gouged, but instead Bay Coast Plumbing made me feel more comfortable about plumbing services and I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone in my area that has plumbing issues.
"We are very pleased with the work that this company did. The 3 men that came to our home and remodeled our bathrooms were very punctual, polite and did the work in a very timely manner. We would definitely recommend them!"
"I used Roberto on a kitchen remodel 8 years ago. I recently used him again to remodel my bathrooms. He is an engineer so there is additional value in his opinion, and he has an eye for detail. He and his crew do an amazing job. With my kitchen, I chose a granite with a lot of variation and color. I also have lots of countertops and angles. He fabricated it so that standing at one end of the kitchen, all the lines run in one direction. He made the granite in my bathroom without seams. He is a perfectionist, and it shows. I highly recommend."
"We had several issues that needed to be taken care of as a result of hard to find leak. I made many calls to various companies and handymen to try to get help without getting any satisfaction. I picked JY Handyman Services from Angie’s List and upon meeting Jose he assured me that he could address and fix our concerns. Jose worked on our home in late December and early January when we were having the really cold weather. He did some great trouble shooting, found and fixed the leak, did excellent carpentry, dry wall and painting. Jose and his crew have a great can do attitude and kept me informed throughout the project. I will continue to use JY Handyman Services and recommend them for all general home maintenance and remodeling needs."
"I read the reviews and was going to get a few bids on this project before committing to a contractor. Joe was the first one I called. I decided based on that meeting to go with him. He was very professional and so easy to deal with. He presented options and made recommendations. This made it easy to decide on the best course of action. He inspected all the work and made sure it was done correctly. All his employees worked fast, efficiently, and were polite and respectful. He proved to be a man of his word. Everything he said he would do was done as promised. The value for the cost was excellent. I am very pleased with this project and will use him again."
"The service man was great. First off, when the receptionist said they'd call before the service man arrived, they did! The guy showed up approximately 30 minutes after we called! Very prompt. How often does that ever happen?! He showed up and said the knob was not turned enough toward hot. He said he would not charge us for this. While there, my husband told him our bathtub water has a reddish sediment in it. He checked the water heater and said it's pretty corroded inside and probably needs to be replaced. (Quoted $900) It's 13 years old. He also pointed out a hazard with some piping. Then my husband asked him why our toilet was making so much noise. He told him what was likely wrong, and that he could fix it for about $100 or we could replace it ourselves for about $30.. not a really hard job. He was courteous, intelligent and knowledgeable. No charge for any of this priceless information! We felt kind of embarrassed because we hadn't turned the temperature on the water heater up far enough, but we definitely found a plumber we can trust. We'll definitely call them back!"
"Rob and his crew installed a root barrier to protect the back of our house from foundation problems from a large oak tree. They also added catch basins to existing drainage pipes as well as replacing some piping where needed. Rob spent a generous amount of time taking a good look at our property, assessing what would work best and answering all of my questions. I was very pleased with the work done and with the people he has on his crew. "
The most common toilet repair is dealing with clogs, followed closely by replacing a worn-out flapper. While clogs can happen anytime in any toilet, they most commonly occur with older toilets that have smaller diameter clearances and often empty into smaller diameter sewer connections. Because toilet flappers only last a few years, they are next in line for the most common toilet failures.
If your toilet won’t stop running, you might have a bad fill valve. This may be the case if the valve has calcium or debris buildup, is cracked, or shows visible signs of wear and tear. A bad fill valve may also be the culprit if you’ve already checked the flapper and chain and adjusted the fill height to no avail.
The main cause of bathroom leaks is seals and connectors that loosen or deteriorate over time, causing leaks to develop. It's important to stay on top of your bathroom materials, as toilets, showers, and sinks all have different lifespans. Toilets and faucets last between 10 and 15 years on average with regular maintenance, but different parts may have shorter lifespans than others.
Toilet seats have two mounting brackets on the back that accept mounting bolts. The bolts drop through the brackets, through two small holes on the top of your toilet, and then receive nuts to hold them in place on the bottom of the toilet. If you can’t see the bolt heads, you might need to pry up the mounting bracket cover, which is a plastic piece that hides and protects the bolts.
The cost to install a new toilet typically runs from $225 to $530. This doesn’t include the price of the toilet itself, which can cost $90 to $1,500 depending on the model and features you choose. You can save money if you choose to install a toilet yourself. However, you might want to hire a pro for this project.
"Due to the many complexities of replacing a toilet flange, it is typically a job best left to the pros," says Jeff Botelho, Angi Expert Review Board member and plumber. "Many times it isn't as simple and straightforward as 'pop off the old one and pop on a new one' because the flange is either glued on (PVC/ABS), soldered on (brass/copper), or caulked in place with a lead & oakum joint (cast iron) and none of these things can be easily reversed without years of training and repetitive practice."
