    one side of house backing up

    Drain Cleaning Keep in mind that unclogging a drain with a drain snake often times doesn't completely resolve the problem. Especially if the plumber just gets the drain flowing and closes it back up. You definitely could get the camera out to ease your mind, but next time its snaked i would...

    Cap for Sewer Cleanout Standpipe

    Sewer Cleanout As suggested above the cap would be best recessed to for obvious reasons. However, also consider that many counties are now requiring brass caps. The reason is so they can be located if they become buried or non-visible. If its not new construction you can get away with...

    Wall mount toilet to sheetrock??

    Actually the model shown above mounted to the 2x6 wall is almost identical to the model we picked out.. . The customer is aware and chose the wall mount simply because its on of the only ways to make it work in this situation. Its a carrier almost exactly as above and its a duravit toilet...

    Plumbing: Scheduling and Dispatching

    We are thinking of moving to a software based scheduling and dispatch solution... Anyone have any suggestions and experience with these? I want something simple enough to learn, but hopefully to integrate into quickbooks.. Pulling customer info and notes up in quickbooks is very ineffective.

    Soldering larger copper 1.5+

    Doing mostly residential we very rarely solder copper so a small propane tank with a 4' reach dose the trick. We recently started doing light commercial and the only thing that seems to be a pain in the arse is soldering 1.5 copper lines with these little old things. There has to be a...

    Plumbing: Shower Since you are only experiencing the leak when you run the shower head there is only two possibilities. 1.) The leak is in between the valve and the shower arm. It could be at the connection to the valve, the pipe, the connection of the pipe to the shower ell, or on the...

    Bathroom Faucet

    Plumbing Faucet I would stay away from online purchase unless necessary. Returns and exchanges are a hassle and it seems something is always missing. Personally i think that most major brands are fine, but get one with a brass/metal drain, not plastic crap. If you get a faucet with a...
