"As often happens my kitchen sink replacement started stacking up potential issues. The techs were very professional, keeping me informed of the potential issues and letting me know what they intended to do. Ultimately they would not give up and ended up making everything way better than I thought it could be. I even ended up with almost double the under kitchen sink space. Will 100% use them for future projects!"
"From the service tech to the installers, everyone was professional and great to work with. Gave me options up front and didnâ t pressure me. Already recommended them to family members. Grade A work."

"Joe, the installer for Cransten, did a fantastic job laying the tile, installing the new toilet and repiping the new cabinet with facuet ! Felt nice to put a new coat of paint on the walls !!"
"Cayden O. provided an exceptional overview of available services, did a very quick and professional survey, and drove the whole process to an amazing price that allows me to get a tailored fix to a nagging problem with sinking concrete and poor drainage. I’m super impressed by how he understood the problem and offered up a solution I hadn’t even thought of, and then worked hard to get the project scoped to a price and schedule to fit my needs. Just awesome!"
"I am incredibly impressed with 5 Star Kitchen and Bath. We had a leak in our shower, and were unable to simply repair the leak without ripping out a whole bunch of stuff. We decided to go ahead and update the bathroom and went with 5 Star. Kim was excellent in helping us design a bathroom that kept our current footprint. I am going to tell you it was quite expensive, (I'm still struggling with the cost of it, but it's part of life now I suppose) but you definitely get what you pay for. Ethan, Brady, Ron, Ben, and Austin did an excellent job. Communication in a job like this is key for a concerned homeowner, and these gentlemen always let me know what was happening and answered any questions I had. To be able to have one contact person and our new bathroom almost compete (waiting on custom shower glass!) in under two weeks has been amazing. I looked into doing the bathroom myself, but there was no way I had the contacts - or time - to go with a bunch of general contractors, plumbers, electrical, tile people, etc. Having one group complete the entire bathroom was so wonderful. I was comfortable having them in my home, and they cleaned up every day before they left. They even took care of my dog when she got a little clingy due to a thunderstorm. I would definitely recommend 5 Star to anyone."
"Fantastic service all around!! I had our HVAC system inspected and serviced and couldn’t be happier. Kyle was professional, thorough, and clearly very experienced. The dispatcher made scheduling simple and kept us informed every step of the way. Communication was top-notch, and the entire appointment went great. I would definitely recommend! Thank you."
"I thought getting ready for the virtual chat was a little difficult, but once everything was set up it was relatively easy and he was able to diagnose the problem. It was very cheap ($30)."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
No, bleach will not harm PVC pipes. Assuming the bleach is not mixed with any other chemicals, you can dilute it and pour it down a drain that has PVC plumbing. Undiluted bleach won’t hurt PVC pipes, but bleach should be diluted before disposing of it by pouring it down a drain.
While frozen pipes will eventually thaw on their own as temperatures rise, it is not safe to let this happen unattended. As the ice blockage melts, water can become trapped, building up extreme pressure within the pipe. This pressure can cause the pipe to burst, leading to severe water damage, costly leaks, and serious damage to your plumbing system. It is best to handle frozen pipes as quickly as possible. If you do not see any visible damage, you can try to slowly warm the pipes by increasing warm air circulation or applying warm towels. However, if you spot any leaks or damage, you should call a plumber immediately. The best course of action is always to take preventative measures to stop pipes from freezing.
Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.
When outside temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, your pipes are at risk of freezing. To prevent this, especially when you are away from home, set your thermostat to a range of 55 to 60 degrees to provide enough warmth. Maintaining this temperature can help you avoid costly water damage from burst pipes.
Sink discoloration from water is caused by any of a number of different kinds of minerals in hard water, including iron and manganese. To avoid the staining that hard water can cause, install a water softener to remove minerals from the water as it enters your home. Rusty pipes can also cause discoloration, and may be the culprit if only one sink is stained.
