If the Culligan man was in your house and recommended plumbing and heating repairs, would you take the advice?
We are in the process of partnering with Culligan Water Products. We have been in business for 23 years as a plumbing and heating contractor. As the franchise works out we would have to use seperate trucks but the same employees. My question is if a Culligan man was in your home and he knew what he was talking about … Continue reading
how do i get rid of joint compound in our water after plumbing repairs?
Joint compound is used to smooth between sections of drywall, I can't think of a use in plumbing. If it's pipe dope (threaded pipe), cement (PVC), or solder (copper), just open the taps full force for 5-10 minutes, should flush out fine.
Plumbing problems. My bathtub is stopped up. Tried Liquid Plumr, did not work, any suggestions?
Don't want to call a plumber, too expensive. The most likely problem is the 'U' bend, this is a safety device just under the drain from your bath tub, just put a bowl underneath it and unscrew the two retaining rings, they are usually only hand tight. You will probably find it's full of your hair and maybe a hair … Continue reading

This problem interferes with my current job as well: which normally involves quite a bit … Continue reading

Cost of a plumbing repair: Is this a fair estimate?
A week ago a game of darts resulted in a pin sized puncture of a copper pipe in my basement, causing a slow drip. I put some putty on it and covered it with two clamps and a piece of rubber. That worked for a little while but the dripping started again with much greater frequency and even spurting at … Continue reading

Who is liable for shared plumbing problems?
My parents run a shop at a commercial location. There has been a drainage pipe that has somehow become corroded and must be replaced. This is a very costly project. The pipes are such that the waste of every single shop in the complex will run through the corroded pipe. Now, our argument is that because the plumbing is shared, … Continue reading
