Frequently Asked Questions
What would happen if a plumber were to damage my home either by flood or fire?
In the rare event that one of our trusted employees causes damage to your home, either by flood or fire, you would be covered by our liability insurance.
Do your employees work on a commission basis?
Our team members are fully salaried employees who have no incentive to upsell their work. There is zero commission paid to employees.
How often should I have my drains cleaned?
If you are sensible as to what you put down your drains, you can virtually eliminate this issue. However, issues can sometimes occur because of the way your drains were installed. For example, lack of grade to the pipe can sometimes lead to clogs. Be aware of what can and can’t be put down your drains.
What is the difference between hard and soft water?
Hard water is typically found in well water situations and contains a higher level of calcium and magnesium phosphates. This can result in the deposit of these minerals in various appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines, greatly reducing their life expectancy. Also, when bathing in hard water, it can be impossible to attain a lather with your soap and you will likely feel slimy instead. Avoid hard water problems by calling our plumbers to install a water softening system.
How much do your plumbing services cost?
Currently, we provide optional, no-fee consultations from our licensed and insured technicians. If you decide not to proceed with the quoted work, a small service visit fee will be levied for the consultation visit and the written quote.
