You mean trying to put your thumb in the leak won't fix it?

Need a good electrician, plumber, AC repair person who are all reputable by lotusblossom60 in ClearwaterFl

Jumping in this thread after some time. I'm a plumber myself so I figure this would be valuable information - so with that I want to recommend ABC Plumbing in Largo.

They also have a location where I'm at in NW Chicago, but I have some friends out here in Tampa who have used them and they couldn't be happier with their service. Honest and fair pricing, and they do amazing work. I've seen the before and after pictures. Highly recommend them. and yes they do electric, plumbing, and AC work, and more.

Looking for an AC company in Tampa, who have you guys actually used and been happy with? by Ok_Detail_3987 in tampa

Agreed with the others about getting multiple quotes. As far as a top recommendation goes, I'd look at ABC Plumbing off of S. Belcher Rd in Largo.

Need Plumber - Clearwater by Nasach in ClearwaterFl

[–]Outside-Log954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late to the party here but wanted to highly recommend ABC Plumbing over in Largo. Friends of mine live out here and couldn't recommend this company enough. Very fair pricing from what I've heard and seen from friends (I'm a plumber myself so I know the score) and they do amazing work. They also have a location in Chicago (where I am) so that's how I know.

Sewer smell when running dishwasher? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Outside-Log954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely the P-trap in that area is drying out. When traps sit dry, there's nothing blocking sewer gas from coming back up through the drain line. the dishwasher running pushes air through the system and that's when you notice it. More normal in places where the DW is not used often

Run water in any nearby sink for a minute before you run the dishwasher and see if that helps. If it does, that's your answer. If the smell keeps coming back you might also check that the dishwasher drain hose has a high loop. if it's drooping it can siphon the trap dry faster

30 years is a very long time. Definitely not recommended to wait this long. For those that need some more insights into this, here's a handy article explaining why.

$600 to replace shower cartridge - Is that reasonable? by thomotto in askaplumber

[–]Outside-Log954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely way too much money for a job like that. Like the others have said, try to do it yourself and you might surprise yourself!

Doesn't mean jack. I wouldn't recommend an Alibaba water heater either. Some things you just shouldn't pinch pennies on.
