When they put the drain in they put new cement in and then the cement is a little rough. I think if it had been smoother I would have given him a higher grade. I like him and have used him a couple of times, but I think they may be a little high in price. I may look elsewhere.
"Katy diagnosed our problem by allowing me to text her a photo of our unit, which saved a lot of time. She came quickly to personally explain our options. She was very friendly and professional and understood our concerns of fast, reliable and affordable service of a new unit that would work well for years. She truly has our best interests at heart. Our technicians were Dan and Alex and they couldn't have been better. Katy told them to treat us like family and they worked quickly to get our new furnace, AC, coil, thermostat and ducts installed, inspected and working perfectly. It was like a breath of fresh, cool air! And Katy handled getting us all signed up for a Lennox rebate that helped tremendously. She even reminded me to send her our gas bill so she could get the rebate to us sooner! Highly recommended team of professionals over there!"
"We could not be more pleased with the results. From the beginning Dan and Landon were very accommodating and easy to work with. Dan was very good about going over the bid with us until it was just what we thought we wanted and could afford. Both guys are very hard working and easy to have around. I totally trusted having them in our home. The thing I loved most was that Dan consistently updated us through email about when they were coming to work, what supplies had to be ordered and when they would arrive and what they would be doing next on the project. I also felt comfortable emailing them with questions. My husband and I are already deciding on our next update for the guys at Retrospect to do. Glad we found them."

"Kell did a great job! He was on time and worked efficiently to get the job done. He cleaned up after the work was completed and even went above and beyond by taking care of the mess the leaking sink had left on the cabinet floor. I will be calling on Cransten handyman and remodeling for my future needs."
"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!"
"From the moment I spoke with Sara in the office, I felt like this was going to be a great experience! I was impressed with the technician's experience and professionalism! I will definitely be referring my friends and family! I was also excited to find out that this company does plumbing as well! Now I know I have a plumber as well!!"
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
You can try several easy methods to unclog a drain, one of the easiest and most effective of which is to use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. This will help dislodge and dissolve the clog to move it down the drain pipes. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Dump several cups of boiling water (or hot water if you have PVC pipes) into the drain and let sit for up to one hour. Run hot water to clear the drain.
To test for toilet leaks, use water coloring in the water tank and see if the water slips into the bowl from the tank. This test will indicate if there’s a problem with the flapper or refill tube. You can also put water coloring in the bowl of the toilet to see if there is a leak there. If there is, you should see the colored water on the outside of the toilet bowl or on the floor.
Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system—including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.
The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.
For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.
Professionals ensure proper sealing and connections, preventing long-term water damage.
