"Trident Bath and Shower did an outstanding job ripping out our tub and putting in a safer and more convenient shower for us. We loved how they worked with us to find the most affordable and efficient solution for our bathroom. They all are such kind, honest, and wonderful people. From the first phone call to the rep coming to our home and educating us, to the final installation. Everything went better than we could’ve imagined! Definitely the best bath company we’ve dealt with!"
"Very happy with our remodeled bathroom!! The shower is exactly what we wanted! Very reliable! I would recommend Premier Home Pros to anyone looking to redo their bathroom!"
"everyone we worked with was wonderful!! Although it costed a little more then I could afford, I had a stroke and needed a shower. They did a fine job!"
"Nick, Gunnar and Jack came over to do a partial basement interior drain and sump system install that I had been waiting on getting started for several years, and they made it look nice with minimal intervention to the area. It was such a sigh of relief to see it done well and at reasonable timing. The persistent small basement leak issue had been happening every spring and fall for 8 years. Now it's all set up with the best fix money can buy. So glad for their valued help! After the job was done, (and even somewhat during the job) Nick made sure to answer any questions and be very thorough in showing me every feature that was added, how to maintain the system, etc. This was an ideal experience, and I trust the same will be true for you if you have these guys come over! Only thing that could be better for me is if it were all free, but these guys have to go home and take care of their families too just like the rest of us. The reasonable pricing works for me :) -Sam"
"The workers were very experienced and friendly. Cleaned up everything Done in a timely fashion. The only problem was that they do not do the entire bathroom. They only do what is called the wet part. So the tub was taken out and the walls around the tub were taken down to the studs. But the ceiling over that area was not done. So it is hard to find a company that will finish the work because they do not want to ruin the shower doors. No one wants to do just the medicine cabinet and light and sink and toilet. The gentleman that wrote up the order said that it wouldn’t be difficult to find someone to finish the job. That was misleading because it is difficult."
"Goettl & Verbracken did a very competent job for us under difficult conditions in an older home. Working side by side was helpful for both parties, as questions always come up. Location of installed flex gas line (next to and in the same opening as the metal dryer vent) was not anticipated. I drilled a new hold with spade bit and extension and rerouted the gas line. Otherwise, we are happy with the work done and would hire again!"
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
The plumbing industry has standardized the sizes for bathtub drains. They are 1 1/2 inches wide to fit all standard bathtubs from 14 to 26 inches deep. The standard sizing is to ensure that the drain fits into the P trap, a special part of your piping that prevents sewer water from bubbling up into your home (yuck).
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.
The type of valve that’s best for water shut-off is the ball valve. These are considered by many plumbers to be the most reliable type of valve, and they’re the type most used for main water shut-offs. These valves only require a quarter turn of a handle to open or close fully.
Yes, a toilet, sink, and shower can share the same vent. This is a common plumbing practice that can simplify installation and save space. When sharing a vent, it's important that the toilet is located downstream from all other fixtures. You will also need to ensure the vent pipe is large enough to handle the demands of all connected fixtures without compromising its effectiveness. Because requirements can vary, you should always check your local building and plumbing codes. Consulting a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure the vent is properly sized, installed, and adheres to all local regulations.
