Plumber vs Handyman: What’s the Difference?

July 10, 2018 by Dorothy Skinner 3 Comments

Plumbing Repair, the American Standard Plumber and the Health of the Nation.We’ve all seen inquiries online, someone looking for a person that can do some plumbing repair around the house. “Does anyone know of someone that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg to come out?”

And someone always answers, “oh yes, I know a local handyman that can come over and take care of that for you. Just call ‘so and so,’ and mention I referred you.”

Before you make that call, consider the difference between a licensed, insured plumber, and a handyman. [Read more…] about Plumber vs Handyman: What’s the Difference?

Blue Pipes Are Unreliable in Texas Soil

October 21, 2013 by Dorothy Skinner Leave a Comment

Flooded front yard.The ground is shifting again, my friends. It seems like I’m talking about this all the time! Soil conditions cause stress on the water pipe going into your home. Hard ground acts like a saw and eventually cuts into those pipes. Water leaks in your front yard are commonly because of this, but sometimes – it’s merely a matter of unreliable blue pipes!   [Read more…] about Blue Pipes Are Unreliable in Texas Soil

You Have a Slab Leak, Now What?

September 9, 2010 by Dorothy Skinner 3 Comments

Maybe you’ve noticed a ridiculously high water bill or heard water running that you can’t find, maybe you’ve noticed warmth on a particular part of the flooring; when it comes to unusual predicaments like these, you need to know whether or not you’re dealing with a slab leak. What to do if you might have a slab leak?

  1. Call your reputable Plano plumber
  2. Ascertain the approximate location of leak

Don’t worry, we won’t just start busting! Our men are trained to locate the leak first.

  1. Is it outside – a yard line?
  2. Is it inside?

These are some of the easy things we do to find out where your leak is:

  • Turn shut off valve in box by house. Check your meter. Is it still running? Your leak is outside.
  • Turn shut off valve in box by house. Check your meter. Did it stop? Your leak is inside the house

Is it on the hot or cold water side?

  • Turn off water to water heater.
  • Turn valve for yard back on.

Did the meter stop? If it did, you have a hot water slab leak.

There may be more detective work involved:

  • Any hot spots on the floor when you are walking barefoot in the house?

We hook a signal generator on the water pipe and follow it with our pipe locating device. Once we know where the pipe is we take our infrared heat sensor and find the hot spots along that line.

Then we must determine the depth of the leak with our pipe locating device. We use our geodesic headset and listen for the leak. If it is difficult to hear we will pressurize the system as the harder flow of water will make the leak easier to hear.

Not until this point will we break your floor and repair. We silver solder all joints below floor.  We backfill with sand and pour back floor after testing. We do not put back finished flooring.

I hope this takes some of the anxiety out of your slab leak problem. Things never really are as bad as they seem. Hire the right plumber and you’ll be put at ease through the whole thing.

Do You Get What You Pay For?

September 8, 2010 by Dorothy Skinner 1 Comment

If you need a lawyer, you want one that will win your case. That will not necessarily be the cheapest one you can find.

If you need a doctor, you want one that will do the most for you and help you with your illness, and you want the best you can find. Not the cheapest.

If you need a dentist, you look for a really good one, maybe a referral from a friend.  And you don’t really want the cheapest – it could cause you pain.

If you have a plumbing problem, you want a plumber that will do the best job for you. Gary’s Quality Plumbing is who to call. We have licensed, insured, clean professional men who will come to your home and do an outstanding job for you. Don’t take a chance with a handyman or jack-of-all trades or even someone that offers to be the lowest priced plumber you can get.

Remember- you do get what you pay for!
