"Schmitty's Plumbing responded to my Angi's service request almost as soon as I submitted it, and they beat out three other Angi plumbing companies in terms of pricing and transparency. I hired Schmitty's to remove an old double bowl kitchen sink and faucet with a new single bowl sink and upgraded faucet. There was no upselling or attempts to convince us to replace our garbage disposal which two of the other plumbers recommended we do. We saw no reason to replace our disposal which functions well and is not that old. Partners Drake and Gage came out to our home as scheduled, and they got to work immediately working efficiently and thoroughly. We appreciated their no-nonsense, honest, prompt service, and very fair pricing. I chose Schmitty's based on the positive customer reviews, and would hire them again. I told them I would recommend them to all my friends who have plumbing needs!"
"I will be recommending this company to anyone who asks me for a plumber. They were sharp, punctual, professional, and completely on quote. These guys are smart and no-nonsense."
"Mr.Rooter responds , has very competent plumbers, do the job right and I have no hesitation recommending their service. They are not inexpensive, but they do the repairs and seem much more available than other plumbing services."
"The flexible water line on my toilet failed & I needed to turn off the water to avoid a flood. I used my Home Advisor app & put in a request for repair to two highly rated plumbing companies. Within 10 minutes I received a call from Hart's Plumbing! The Customer Svc lady (Devinn) was very polite & informative & offered to send a plumber out that day. But the next day was better for me so an appointment was made. The next day Prestin called to let me know he was on his way. He was also very polite, fixed the problem within a very short time & even gave me a Senior Discount! It was more expensive than I'd hoped but I am very pleased with my experience w/Hart's Plumbing."
"Pete’s Plumbing gave a timely estimate, thoroughly inspected my site and requirements, and followed through with an awesome job! He arrived on time and worked diligently to install my plumbing in my project. He communicated before and during to make sure everything was the way I wanted it. I would hire him again anytime!"
"Puget Sound Plumbing and Heating was able to come the day after I called, was prompt, very curtious, and got the job done effeciently. I am planning to hire them for another plumbing job."
"Zachary and Jordan arrivef on time, were professional, knowledgeable, communicated well and performed thorough work speedily. I will call on Day & Night Plumbing again. This was a very positive experience."
"I’ve used Jeff for many different projects over the years. From busted drain pipes, kitchen remodeling, and maintenance. Jeff has always been fair on the price and does an outstanding job."
This depends on how old your home is and residential construction norms where you live. Most modern homes have outdoor shut-off valves, but many older homes have the water meter indoors. You're most likely to find this valve in the basement or utility closet if it's indoors. If you have an outdoor shut-off valve, it should be somewhere on the perimeter of your home.
Yes, flushing a clogged toilet can make it overflow. While flushing the toilet may push enough pressure through the system to dislodge the clog, this is unlikely. Your best bet is to use a plunger and hope the suction can break up whatever is blocking the pipe. If this doesn’t work, use a plumbing auger or call a pro to help.
You generally cannot replace a 10-inch rough-in toilet with a 12-inch model without making significant plumbing updates. A 12-inch rough-in toilet will not fit a 10-inch rough-in space because the floor drain is in the wrong position. To accommodate the larger toilet, you would need to move the drainpipe, which could cost between $0.75 and $30 per linear foot, plus labor. In most cases, it is more cost-effective and simpler to purchase a new 10-inch rough-in toilet. However, it is possible to install a 10-inch rough-in toilet in a 12-inch space by using a longer connector.
No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.
PVC pipes are easy to cut out and replace if you have minimum plumbing knowledge. To replace a portion of PVC pipe by yourself, use a hacksaw to cut out the damaged portion and empty out the water. Then, attach the new pipe and secure the ends with the proper PVC pipe fittings to prevent any leakage.
