It went well and the job was thorough. To prepare the original cost estimate, I met Ruckersville Roto Rooter's Robert Watson at the home and we discussed the project and his recommendations. Afterward, Mr. Watson called and we discussed how it went, and he even went back to the property after our conversation and put an additive in the distribution box to r***** future root growth, advising me what to buy and how often to apply it, myself, in the future.
I was very impressed by the professionalism of both Mr. Watson and Kelley at the office, who answers the phone and helped set up the appointment for estimate, and followed up with the video, and I am very appreciative of their responsiveness. I will definitely hire Ruckersville Roto Rooter for future plumbing needs.
"I reached out to this company after getting in over my head on a diy project as a home owner. I replaced some fittings and could not get a connection to stop leaking (bad threads). Matt showed up to address the problem for me. He already had a good idea of how to fix it from our phone call and came with the necessary parts. He was able to fix it in the matter of a few minutes. His character was top notch as well, very polite and genuine. He made me feel confident so I showed him another small issue with my drain and he was able to solve that in seconds for me. The value was the best part of all of this. He solved a big headache of mine for a price larger companies wouldn't even show up for. Hire with confidence."

"I hired Don’s Home Improvement’s LLC to remodel my bathroom.I’m very pleased in the material he suggested I could use. He was very thorough in detecting a few hidden problems that were corrected, and now there will be no future issues. I was always shown damaged material so I knew exactly what was being replaced. I would highly recommend Don’s Home Improvement’s LLC and one of his employees John, who did a fantastic job!"
"Work will not be done for another 2 Months. Have to hire electrician to put in dedicated circuits for sump pumps and plumber to move the laundry sink."
"My installer was meticulous and paid attention to every little detail. He did excellent workmanship and had pride in his accomplishment. I love the results and was glad I had the shower enlarged and the ceramic is beautiful. It is a pleasure to take a shower."
Homeowners insurance may cover shower pan leaks, but it depends on the type of coverage you’re looking for. Typically, home insurance policies cover sudden or accidental water damage, for example, if it comes from a busted pipe or malfunctioning appliance. Damage to a shower pan is usually gradual. A repair or replacement of your shower pan usually won’t be covered by your policy. If your shower pan leak causes water damage, chances are your standard policy—if it includes water damage—will cover the repair.
Yes, even a small dishwasher leak is a big deal. While it might seem minor, continuous unnoticed drips can lead to significant water damage to your kitchen floor, subfloor, and cabinetry. This damp environment is also a perfect breeding ground for mold, which can cause health issues and expensive mold remediation. Remember that water and electricity don't mix—having even a small leak poses a potential electrical hazard. Addressing any leak as soon as possible protects your home and avoids costly future repairs.
Depending on the location of the water leak, it could go undetected for weeks, months, or even years in some extreme cases. Most homeowners who have plumbing leaks have slow drips, so you might not see signs of damage until they become severe problems. It’s a good idea to have a plumbing inspection done annually and to take steps yourself to check for leaks, including inspecting your floor, walls, and ceilings for signs of water damage, monitoring your utility bills, and looking for water around appliances and fixtures.
Knowing which type of bathtub faucet you have is the first step toward finding a replacement. The faucet can be deck mount—meaning installed on the tub itself—or wall mount—meaning installed in the wall. Some bathtub faucets are freestanding and installed on the floor. There are also single- and double-handle models. Some faucets have a diverter on the spout to move the water from the showerhead to the bathtub spout, while others have a third handle that acts as a diverter.
In general, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PEX (polyethylene), and copper are the three piping materials used in new constructions when adding water supply lines. There are some caveats. PEX and copper are considered ideal when running lines that will handle hot water because they are not at risk for melting and warping the way that PVC piping can. At $0.40 to $4per linear foot, PEX is considered more affordable than copper pipes, which cost $2 to $12per linear foot. PVC is considered appropriate in water lines for cold taps only.
