1.00What to look for in contractors who repair major water damage?
Q.Bathroom sink pipe sprung a major leak, 15 minutes worth of tap water soaked hardwood flooring, plaster walls and ceilings and ran into some duct work...also we are concerned about the electrical wiring behind ceiling and walls, what are some good characteristics to look for in hiring a contractor who specializes in this type of work? Also, is it typical for the homeowner's insurance to cover the plumbing work? So far, the adjuster says only work to repair damage is covered but not the plumbing that caused the problem...sound right?
A.Your adjuster is correct. Your insurance policy owes for access to get to the plumbing leak and to repair it but NOT for the part itself.
Start by making sure your house is dried out properly by a certified water damage restoration company (i.e. ServiceMaster). They will find out where the water damage starts and ends, take moisture reading of your flooring and walls & may place fans/dehumidifiers to dry out your home.
After the place is dried out, then address rebuild.
If you need paint, drywall, flooring or baseboards...ask your adjuster if they have a "preferred" general contractor that is on the company's preferred program. Go with one of them if they do.
Good luck.
1.00How much does a plumber charge for emergency service?
Q.My hot water tank is dead.
A.Aye, I hate when this happens: Your water heater goes out all of a sudden, providing not hot water without advance notice; it should be able to tell us in advance of its failure so that it can make it easier for us to schedule a repair that timely coincides with its actual failure. But enough of wishful thinking.
Well, you need to have a local plumbing contractor give you the local rate for this project, as the contractor would only be able to more accurately assess the situation. Fortunately, there are plenty of local plumbing contractors seeking to give free estimates with no obligation. It's important that you get a local estimate and not rely on guesses found here on Yah because the cost of material (what is needed to fix the plumbing problem) and labor greatly varies by location.
As I said, free estimates from local plumbing contractors are the key to your success in this home improvement repair project of yours. Here's a great link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to assist you in determining the cost of your project, and, ultimately, selecting a local plumbing contractor in an effort to get the best deal for you:

1.00Plumbing questions-- how do you repair aleaking anti sipon hose bibb?
Q.Repair leaking anti siphon hose bibb
A.You don’t mention what type it is but I am assuming it is integrated into the hose bib. You can take it apart to see if there is any debris in it, but you may need to purchase a rebuild kit………. the diaphragm and “O” rings do go bad.
You may try flipping the diaphragm over sometimes that works
1.00Mobile home repairs? Can a contractor do them?
Q.I can't find any type of mobile home repair companies around. I recently bought a rather large mobile home, that needs A LOT of work. It has the potential to be a beautiful home, but it needs some rewiring, some floor repairs, a bit of dry wall, some new carpet, painting, a good cleaning, some new cabinets, a bit of plumbing. I'd like to find someone who can do it all for a set price, can a contractor do this, or who would I contact? I'm hoping to put less than $10,000 into the home. Some of it I can do myself like paint, carpet, drywall, but the wiring, plumbing, and flooring needs an expert.
A.Any competent tradesman should be able to do that stuff. Unless your mobile is very old. most of it will be very much the same as the same stuff in any house and if it isn't then someone with a little experience ought to be able to figure it out. Just make sure you get someone licenced and properly qualified for the plumbing and electrical. Ask around for a good contractor, or simply an experienced carpenter who can assess what order you should be doing things in. What he can't do, you get the electrician and plumber in for. If you can't afford it all at once, electrical is where I'd put my money first because it's a safety issue. Plumbing next, then probably the floor if it's structural. If it's just replacing floor coverings, do that last.
1.00I remodeled my bath 20 days ago now I have a broken flange. What caused the breakage and how can I repair it?
Q.It looks as though the screw broke the flange. But I am not sure. I would like to know what caused the break so that I may correct it. Also, the caulking around the base of the bowl was not level--one side has a thick layer of caulking while the other side is very thin and shallow. Please help!
A.Must have been plastic. You should be able to get a repair for the collar at your plumbing supply house. The wax is un-level either because it was improperly installed or the closet flange sits higher on 1 side than the other.

1.00Above ground swimming pool plumbing leaks?
Q.Hi, I have an above ground pool plus heat pump, filter etc which I have just completed the plumbing on (PVC with PVC cement glue, threads in some places). There is a small leak at the heat pump, just a few drips a minute, but I'm thinking there should be no leaks at all. I've used PTFE tape on the threads and I've tightened by hand as far and it would go, and don't believe I've under or overtightened - however I think it's supposed to go further and perhaps could be a bad thread...?
Anyway, I've used some leak repair tape from Halfords and there's still this slight drip.
Does this matter? I haven't turned on the filter pump yet... should I, and see how it goes? Such a small amount of water leaking won't really affect the pool water volume/flood the plant room etc but I believe you shouldn't let air into the system...
Thanks
Ross
Thanks for the info but I've already tightened a lot with my hands, putting my full weight, to the point I've actually turned the connecting part (which is also screwed on - difficult to explain). Besides, it's a wide connection, my wrench won't fit round it. But might be worth finding a larger one and holding the other one still with another wrench...
Anyway. I tried turning it on. Oh dear. Water sprayed everywhere.
Back to the drawing board.
Looking at Aquafix Wrap Repair (http://www.trickettmarineproducts.co.uk/repair.htm) - anyone any experience with this?
Please don't tell me to 'fix it properly', long story, but there isn't a proper fix available without someone actually making new piping to fit the various different manufacturers different sizes plumbing... that'll teach me to save money by getting different parts from Canada, China and the UK. D'oh.
A.Plastic threads are a pain you need to go hand tight and then use a wrench to finish tightening
1.00Can a licensed class 'b' general contractor legally do plumbing without a plumbing license?
A.I looked into this too and this is what I found.
Yes, you can do plumbing but you cant certify it. In other words, you can build the whole plumbing, but then you will need a licensed plumber to come over and check it out and do all the peperwork. For example, you cannot install a boiler of a furnace, only licensed people can do that, but you can set all the pipes that go from the furnace to the house.
If you have a freind and hes a licensed plumber, you are all set. Ask him if he would certify your work for some money in exchange. The whole job needs to be certified before home inspection comes.

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 avoid the need for regular home plumbing repairs, simply make sure that your drains and pipes are kept free of blockages. To avoid toilet repairs, never flush large objects down your toilet. Clean the strainer of your bathroom drain regularly to avoid the need for bathroom shower drain repairs. Regularly pour hot water down your kitchen sink to unclog any grease that may have lodged in the drain. Avoid shoving bones and other hard objects down your garbage disposal unit. Also, limit the use of over-the-counter drain cleaners to clear clogged drains. These are not only a biological hazard, but they can also cause damage to the pipes, creating more blockage problems in the future.
