"I recently had a fantastic experience with Nick from DB’s Plumbing & Drain for a leaking pipe issue in my home. From start to finish, their service was exceptional! DB’s team was prompt, courteous, and professional. They arrived on time, assessed the problem quickly, and explained the repair process in a way that was easy to understand. The plumber worked efficiently, fixing the leak with high-quality materials, and even took the time to check for other potential issues to prevent future problems. The pricing was fair, and there were no hidden fees. I am so grateful for their expertise and attention to detail. I highly recommend DB’s to anyone needing reliable plumbing services!"
"Great job. Prompt communication, great up front pricing, and most of all, high quality work! Will definitely use them in the future for my plumbing needs. Nice to know I have a plumber I can trust."

"I found water on the floor of my basement! Horrors! I got 3 estimates and chose T.QEXCAVATION.Plumbing to do the fix. I liked the work ethic of Terence, the owner who was the guy who did the job. He kept me informed of what was happening and how the project was going, turned the water on when he could and off when he needed to so I had water off and on instead of not which meant the world to me.
The job is done, I'm happy with the result and would recommend T.QEXCAVATION.PLUMBING to anyone in need of any kind of plumbing job. He is my plumber from now on."
"I reached out to The Waterline Group (TWG) after getting a quote from one of the large plumbing companies in the area. The problem was a bad Backflow Preventer. The quote was very high and included work that didnâ t need to be done. TWG inspected the problem and got me on the schedule quickly for $900 less than what I was previously quoted. The TWG technicians were very polite and efficient and everything has been working great ever since. TWG exceeded my expectations and they will be my first call the next time I have a plumbing problem."
"First rate emergency replacement of a burst residential main water pipe in the front yard. Nate provided a very competitive bid and highly competent service to complete work in a very short period of time. Surface disturbance was minimal and cleaned up on project completion. County inspections passed flawlessly. No reservations in recommending Clearwater Plumbing & Repair, Inc., to meet the plumbing repair needs of HomeAdvisor subscribers."
"Very well. The pipe had a pinhole leak in a copper elbow joint and required cutting the pipe, in a confined space, to drain standing water. G**** Miranda did a remarkable job repairing the pipe and an adjacent supply pipe I elected to have repaired in case its joint might leak. Workmanship was exceptional, potential mess and additional Sheetrock damage was minimized, G**** Miranda worked tirelessly for 3 hours and produced a satisfactory repair."
While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups.

The average cost to hire a plumber is typically between $45 and $200 per hour, with a common average rate around $125 per hour. This cost can vary based on your location, the plumber's experience, and the complexity of the job. Rates are often broken down by experience level: an apprentice may charge $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyman $60 to $110 an hour, and a master plumber $80 to $200 an hour. While hourly rates are standard, some plumbers may charge a flat fee for routine projects or offer project-based pricing. It's also common for plumbers to charge a minimum service or trip fee. For reference, some typical flat-rate costs for common jobs include: drain unclogging ($220), leaky faucet repair ($270), burst pipe repair ($400), toilet repair ($300), and water heater repair ($600). Note that these rates are for standard service hours; emergency, holiday, and after-hours calls will cost significantly more.
The first step to clearing the air in a line is to locate the cause. This is usually a blockage in either the drain or the venting system. Once you clear the issue, flush the system by actually flushing the toilets repeatedly. This should allow the trapped air to escape, thus clearing the lines. Don’t be surprised if there is increased bubbling as the air makes its way through the system.
Ensure there’s a way to flush out excess water from the generator. There will either be a bin you can pull to dump water down the drain or a simple button if your generator is hooked up to a drainage pipe.
Ideally, you’ll want to drain after every shower, but there will be a mark on the generator that shows how much water it can hold. Failing to drain the generator can lead to automatic shut-offs or damage.
