"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
There are many reasons why water pipes leak. The most common reasons include clogs, broken rubber seals that deteriorate over time, corrosion on copper, brass, or galvanized pipes, and damaged pipe joints.
You might also have a leak if your water pressure is too high (usually higher than 60 psi) or if your fixtures have a crack. Moreover, natural changes in the area around your underground pipes, like growing tree roots, flooding, or earthquakes, can cause leaky water pipes.
Be sure to consider how often you may need access to your pipes in the future. This can help you decide if you want to install a basic PVC backflow preventer or spring for a clear or removable one.
If you think you’ll need access to your plumbing often, or if your pipes have a history of problems, it’s probably worth spending a little more for something you can look into without removing the backwater preventer.
Your baseboard heater usually should have a bleeder valve, but if not, look for air vents that bleed out the air automatically. If you cannot locate the bleeder valve on your radiator and it doesn’t feel warm even when the heat is turned on, call in a pro to have it inspected.
For a fully-foamed hot tub, freezing typically occurs when the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheitand remains at or below this level continuously for a minimum of 36 hours. If your hot tub and pumps are still operational, however, the water circulates, and this continuous movement helps prevent freezing, even in very cold conditions. This circulation, along with the insulation provided by the foam, helps maintain the water temperature and prevent it from freezing during extended cold periods. Still, if you’re not planning to run it regularly, be sure to winterize the hot tub properly to prevent damage from freezing.
If you live in a place with cold weather, you can winterize your outdoor spigot whenever you finish using your hose for the year. Start by disconnecting and draining your hose, then store it until springtime. Next, close your water shut-off valve and open the bleeder cap, releasing any water inside, and open the outdoor faucet to get rid of any excess water in the fixture. Finally, put an outdoor faucet cover over your spigot until the weather warms up again.
