Advanced Plumbing did an excellent job replacing a rusting bathtub caused by a water pipe leak in a bathroom wall. I also had a 14 year old water heater replaced. Great job by great guys!

I needed various plumbing issues handled in a new property and was given the name of Advanced Plumbing by a family member. I spoke to Christina to set up an appointment. She could not have been more helpful or more pleasant. The same day Dave came to my home and took care of each of the issues. I commend Dave for his great expertise, knowledge, people skills, and communication skills. It was a pleasure to have him work in my home. I would highly recommend this company.
Frequently Asked Questions About Advanced Plumbing Solutions & Design, LLC
Should I replace all cast iron pipes?
All cast iron pipes should be replaced. Call us today.
What is the life expectancy of a water heater?
The average life expectancy of a water heater is 10 years. Most manufacturer warranties run out around 6 but it depends on style and type.
Should you drain your water heater once a year?
Yes, you should flush your water heater once or twice a year. It is not recommended in Florida to drain your water heater completely as it opens the seal to air, which causes it to deteriorate faster. We recommend that you flush your water heater if it is a steel tank. If it is a tankless heater a decalcification flush is needed to clean the heat exchanger properly.
How do you get chlorine smells and taste out of your county and city water?
You use a carbon-type filter to remove the chlorine from the water supply.
Should I use tank cleaners to clean my toilet bowl?
No, all tank style cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can damage the internals of your tank, leading to catastrophic failure.
Where is my main water shutoff valve?
Everyone should know where their main water shutoff valve is. It is usually against the edge of the house on a vertical pipe. If not, check your water meter. There's usually a backflow with two valves that can shut your water off. If in a condo, by the water heater there's a valve for the main line and the water heater.
Should I shut my water off when I leave town?
Absolutely, even on weekend trips. Pipes corrode water heaters and toilets that have faulty parts. It only takes several minutes for heavy water damage to happen, so shut your water off and turn off the power to your water heater when leaving. There are smart shutoff valves you can install to shut off the water from your phone as long as you have Wi-Fi service.
Why is my water bill so high?
A high water bill can mean any of the following: leaky taps, leaky lines, leaky toilets, inefficient use of water, or inefficient irrigation systems.
I have a sewer smell in my house, why?
Sewer smells can happen by any of the following: dry trap, a bad toilet seal, a cracked pipe, bad venting, or even a stoppage on your drainage system.
Why do my pipes hammer when I use different fixtures?
This is called water hammer, you could have improper striping, a bad air arrester, or a falter fixture shutoff valve.

Use a carbon-type filter to remove chlorine from the water supply.
Should I use tank cleaners to clean my toilet bowl?

Is it necessary to shut off my water when leaving town?
Yes, always shut off your water and power to the water heater when away to prevent water damage. Smart shutoff valves can be controlled via phone if you have Wi-Fi.
