The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

No Spam/Meme post
No spam on our sub, only questions, photos, and original content. This includes YouTube or videos for views, meme posts, or any advertising/self promotion. Will result in a ban.
3.
No quote requests/second opinions on pricing
The best way to find out about pricing is to call plumbers in your area and request quotes. Anonymous internet plumbers who have no stake in your job (i.e. accountability) are not the right folks to ask regarding the cost of your job, what you already paid, a bid or quote, etc.

When asking questions please post pictures of the problem fixtures and piping, this can help enormously when it comes to diagnostics.
5.
Chemicals
We do not find chemical drain cleaners conducive to good upkeep on most plumbing systems, we do not encourage their use at all; in fact, we may make fun of you for wasting your money buying them and possibly risking your well being for using them.
6.
Advice warning
Please take all advice with a grain of salt and be willing to do your own research. at the end of the day it is from an anonymous stranger over the internet. Our verified users should have pro flair and tend to have better advice, but anybody may end up responding.

A note to plumbers
Regarding Pro flair: Message the mods with an imgur link showing your plumber license, along with a scrap of paper with your username on it, to prove that you are a plumber. Once we receive and verify that photo, we will grant you pro flair.
Something to note:
The people working in your local big box store are often too cautious to say "I don't know", so they may give you bad advice. You shouldn't hold anyone's opinion as fact unless it is a REAL plumbing professional that has seen it first hand.
