"Within 24 hours of reaching out to Salt City Plumbing I was contacted by David (Dave), given an estimate for a job, and the job was completed upon my request. Dave took on this job without hesitation even though it required squeezing into a rather tight crawl space underneath a home to replace a hose bib. I will not hesitate to return to Salt City Plumbing next time I am in need of a good plumber!"

"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
"5 Star Kitchen and Bath really lives up to their name. We had our old shower replaced with a beautiful new one. The process was easy, fast, friendly and affordable. We met Walter and Jonathan at the Home Show. Chanler and Carson came to our home, tore out the old shower and replaced it with a bigger better and more comfortable one. Both Chanler and Carson were friendly, fast, on time, professional and very clean. Donny, the project manager, came out during the project to make sure everything was going as planned and to make sure we were happy. We are definitely very happy. If you need any kind of bathroom remodel I strongly suggest you call 5 Star for a quote. You will not regret it. THANKS AGAIN GUYS!!"
"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."

"Excellent service for a virtual format. Would definitely recommend this very affordable alternative to the traditional technician having to come to your home to evaluate and fix a malfunctioning appliance."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
You can often identify a freeze-proof faucet by its structure. Unlike a traditional spigot, a freeze-proof one will include a long supply pipe that extends into your home and connects several inches back to your water supply. Many freeze-proof models also have an extra valve on top of the exterior of the spigot, which is the anti-siphon feature that protects against water backflow.
A water hammer refers to the banging or knocking sound you hear in your water pipes after you turn off your faucet or when your washing machine or dishwater fills. This happens when highly pressurized water suddenly stops moving in your pipes due to a valve closing or your well pump shutting down quickly. Try adjusting the pressure setting on your water pressure tank—it should be below 50 psi (pounds per square inch). Or have a plumber install a water hammer arrestor.
Yes, and no. Your shower, toilet, and sink all connect to the same main drain, but the secondary drains going from each fixture to the main drain are usually separate. This isn’t always the case—especially in older homes—but since toilets contain black water and showers, tubs, and sinks have grey water, toilets are more regulated and come at a greater risk of contamination. It’s best to keep these drains separate using individual waste collection for this reason.
Whether an earthquake gas shut-off valve is required depends on your location and circumstances. Certain cities, states, and even insurance providers mandate them, especially in areas with high seismic activity. In California, for example, while laws vary by county, most jurisdictions require a valve to be installed in newly constructed homes or when a home is sold or renovated. The Los Angeles Municipal Code specifically requires a licensed contractor for installation. Even if not required by law, installing a seismic shut-off valve is a wise safety measure. These devices automatically cut off the flow of gas during an earthquake, which can prevent gas leaks, fires, and explosions. It is recommended to check with your local building department for specific laws regarding installation, permitting, and inspections, and to ensure the valve you install is on your city's list of approved models.
The biggest sign that your flange leaks is if you notice water at the base of the toilet. The cause is likely due to a poor flange installation, so you might have issues with loose bolts, an uneven flange, or a cracked plastic flange. Add a deteriorating wax seal to this, and you have a recipe for disaster. The best solution is to shut off the water valve, replace the toilet flange, and seal it with a new wax ring.
