Was up on Bouldercrest last week getting a quote for a small leak near my chimney. Guy climbed up, looked around for 10 minutes, and told me I just needed $40 worth of silicone caulk around the flashing. Has anyone else noticed these young roof crews pushing for full replacements way more than the older guys do?
I was in the middle of washing dishes and heard this weird gurgling sound from the basement. Next thing I know, there's a puddle spreading across the concrete floor near the Rheem unit we inherited when we bought the house back in 2003. Called up Peachtree Plumbing the next morning and they quoted me $1,200 for a new install. Has anyone else had to deal with an old unit failing like that and did you go with a tankless or stick with the traditional?
I tried sealing my bathroom tile with a $8 bottle of grout sealer from Home Depot off Moreland Ave and it didn't even last through the first shower before water started soaking in. Ended up having to strip it all off with a chemical remover and redo it with a proper penetrating sealer that took three days to cure instead of two hours. Anybody else here find that the pricier sealers actually save time in the long run?
I spent $80 on a rotary chimney cleaning kit from Home Depot last fall and it kept getting stuck on my flue tiles here in Decatur. Switched back to my old wire brush with some chains and a rope I had sitting in the garage. Took me maybe 30 minutes to run it up and down a few times versus fighting with the rotary for an hour. Has anyone else had better luck with the basic hand tools for this?
Woke up to a puddle around my water heater this morning and I am stressed. Can anyone recommend a good plumber in the Atlanta area? Looking for someone reliable who won't charge an arm and a leg just to come look at it.
