Recent Plumbers Reviews in Fairfax
- Sila Heating, Cooling and PlumbingIt went extremely well. Miranda went above and beyond to get resolutions to my problems. She was kind, patient and professional. Miranda did not give up until the problem was solved. Johvonn was the technician assigned to the job. He diagnosed the problem and knew just what to do. Johvonn's work was exceptional! He did it with a smile. In my observation it was clear he took pride in his work. He too was kind, patient and professional. I don't think Miranda or Johvonn knew that I was feeling down but, their encouragement made be feel better. You should feel proud to have Miranda and Johvonn on your team. They represent the company SILA well. With Appreciation Maxine Gile

- JW Home ImprovementThis is the fifth or sixth time we have used JW for home improvement projects, and we have never been disappointed. We started with 'simply' trying to find the source of water damage in our lower-level, and ended up renovating our laundry/storage room and installing new vinyl floors throughout the bulk of the downstairs. From Josh making multiple trips out to ensure the estimate and scope was solid, to Marcos and Israel completing the project from start-to-finish, we are thrilled with the results

"Mark responded promptly to my inquiry for an estimate. After I had shown him the faucets that needed work in the bathroom, he asked to take a look at our tankless water heater (which had been installed by someone else). He quickly discovered that the gas water heater was not vented properly, not draining properly, and not grounded or bonded. He explained that this was truly an emergency situation - a carbon monoxide leak waiting to happen. (After he left, I did some research and found that he was indeed right about all of this.) Mark and Wilmer came back the next day and drove literally all over town to find the parts needed to fix our problem. It was not a cheap fix but I can rest a lot easier knowing that things were done properly this time and my family is safe. I'm really grateful for fast and professional service when I needed it! We will be calling Blue Sky in the future for any other plumbing needs.

Plumbing FAQ
-
How much does a plumber cost?
Answer: The cost of a plumber ranges from $175 to $480, with a national average of $330. However, the price will vary depending on job complexity, timing, location, supplies and materials, permits, and level of expertise. These costs typically include toilet repairs, faucet installations, and leaky pipes. In addition to the service call, you may also need to budget for haul-away and trip fees often required during more complicated jobs. Ask your local plumbing contractor about these fees before hiring them.
-
How much does a plumber charge to replace a toilet?
Answer: On average, you can expect to pay your local plumbing contractor between $125 and $230 to replace an old toilet, with most residential homeowners paying around $150 to $180 for professional installation. You’ll need to consider materials and labor when calculating a final price. Not all toilets are equal. Depending on the brand you choose and the features you want, a new toilet might run you anywhere from $100 to $1,300. Add in the price of labor and installation, and your total project can jump up to $200 and $1,500.
-
How much does a plumber cost to fix a toilet?
Answer: According to our service providers, it costs roughly $75 to $200 on average to have your toilet repaired. However, this price will vary depending on the complexity of the job and the materials needed for the fix. Repairs can be messy and less-than-pleasant to address, but having a functioning toilet is most definitely necessary. If you’re experiencing problems with your toilet, contact a local, reputable plumbing contractor right away, as avoiding repairs can lead to bigger—and more expensive—issues over time.
-
Is liquid plumber safe for septic systems?
Answer: Good news! Liquid-Plumr® is safe for septic systems. Most drain cleaners disrupt the pH in your septic tank, which prevents the good bacteria from breaking down septic waste. The chemical make-up in Liquid-Plumr® works with the bacteria to break down waste quickly without harming your septic system. Still, it’s best to confirm with your local plumbing provider if Liquid-Plumr® is the right solution for your system.
-
How much is it for a plumber to unclog a toilet?
Answer: Even the most well-maintained toilets experience clogs. It’ll cost you an average of $200 to $700 to unclog your toilet. Severe clogs will require a more comprehensive repair method, so check with your local plumbing contractor to determine the best approach for unclogging your toilet.
-
Is Liquid-Plumr®, or any other liquid drain cleaner, safe for septic systems?
Answer: Yes and no. Liquid-Plumr® and other drain cleaners are most effective when used sparingly (one to three times a year). Repeated use of liquid plumber on drains could deteriorate your pipes and cause more damage. If your pipes clog frequently, put down the liquid plumber and call your local plumbing contractor immediately.
