Upstairs toilet is leaking. Ceiling below it on the first floor now has a large water mark. Turned off water to toilet and that has stopped the watermark from growing. Need a free estimate as soon as possible. Thanks and have a great day!

We are remodeling a small old home. We need repair estimates for two hot water heaters, backed-up drain on tub, dripping faucet, etc. Would also like a quote for CAC or heat pump. Tks,

Plumbing Repair
Most people don't think of plumbing repairs, until they are right in the middle of a leaky toilet or clogged sink scenario, and need emergency help quickly. A reliable plumber is the only one you can trust to perform permanent repairs of your toilet, sink, tub or other plumbing fixtures, but you can make a few simple emergency plumbing repairs yourself. If you have an overflowing toilet, first use the shut off valve to stop water supply to the toilet. If you can't find the shut off valve, simply turn off the main water supply. Use a plunger to remove the obstruction in the toilet. For plumbing faucet repairs, unscrew the faucet, and look for damaged washers or valves inside. If these are damaged, replace them, and get a plumber to fix your leaky faucet.
To clear a clogged sink, use your trusty plunger to clear the blockage. Plungers are actually very effective and handy home plumbing repair tools, but most people use them improperly. The goal is to create as much suction as possible to remove the obstruction. Some of the most common repairs involved in bathroom plumbing are unclogging shower drains. First, remove the cover of your drain, and using your flashlight look for any visible signs of obstruction. If you see something, take a straightened wire coat hanger, and use the hook to fish out the clog. If the hanger doesn't work, use a small plunger, and if this doesn't work either, use a plumber's snake. Simply insert the snake down the drain until you reach the clog. Turn the handle clockwise to enable the hook to grab the blockage, and pull it out.
