pex connection

Our home sustained major damage in a tornado, and other than some parts of the wall framing, everything inside and out had to be demoed and replaced. The original house (15 yrs old) was piped in copper with much of it below the slab. The plumbers felt it would be better to re-pipe the entire...

Hello, I recently had a bad plumbing experience. The plumber damaged the non-replaceable supply lines on my $800 tub filler and then disappeared. I installed the new tub filler and completed the compression connections, However based on his rough-in, I ended up with a slight bend in the cold...
