"Rude angry little Jamaican man with his young son. Called bc my toilet isn't working properly. Came down to charge me $150 just to tell me wat I already told him. Then told me he had another job so he just came to look at this one. I paid him just to leave my house. Would never recommend these people."

Full service pump and well service. We service all makes and models well pumps, tanks, pool pumps, sprinkler pumps, water softners, any well equipment. 24 hour service. Call for free estimates over the phone. All major credit cards accepted.
"When I called, they answered right away and when I explained the problem, I was told that they would be at my house between 12 - 1 pm. They were at the house before 12:30, and fixed the problem right away (the water tank bladder had broken). Now we have a bigger perfectly working tank - and our water pressure is better than it's ever been (I have a feeling the bladder had damage to it when we moved in, because the pressure was never good). The only problem is that when the phone was answered, I heard a voice say it was an Angie's list customer. However, we didn't get the 5% discount. Although, I did not print out the coupon and forgot to tell my husband about it. Either way, their service was prompt and well done. Thank you!"

"USA DISTRIBUTORS: Below are pictures of my condo’s galley kitchen. All of the cabinets were purchased on line using, and at a savings, the website USA DISTRIBUTORS. If you are reading this then you are like me in that you check out people, companies and products before you buy anything of importance. Also, let me assure you I have not received or expect anything from this company for this review. About a year ago my wife and I visited good friends in Melbourne Florida. They have a beach front condo and had recently done a rehab of their unit. We fell in love with their kitchen and cabinets. The first four pictures below are of their unit. We loved the perfect white and the door styles. They said they worked on line with USA-DISTRIBUTORS and the cabinet brand is FABUWOOD. The style is NEXUS FROST and that is also the color white; deep and rich white and thick luxurious paint. You can judge the depth and quality of the paint by slowly feeling the surface. Cheap cabinets and paint feel like the cheap wood or compressed sawdust below the surface. With FABUWOOD the paint is thick and luxurious feeling and the wood is quality and sturdy. The USA DISTRIBUTOR person who worked with us is DAN STRAUSS. Phone: 888-316-0805. I can’t say too much about how good he is. We talked on the phone, emailed and he is prompt in his replies and very pleasant. He knows his products and has lots of experience with others doing the same thing via the internet so he helps guide you. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I say that since it took me about seven months to confirm the plan and put in the order. Some of that time my wife and I were on vacation in Highlands N.C.. We just finished our condo rehab and the pictures after the first four are our condo kitchen. The bathroom cabinets match the color and style of the kitchen. The two things we did in the kitchen I would recommend are: 1. Frame the refrigerator and if you have the room put a cabinet about the refrigerator and install pull out drawers there and everywhere in the kitchen; 2. They have a tall pantry option that we chose and put pull out drawers top and bottom. We had a blank wall there and there was adequate space in the back of it for the pantry. I could go on but I value your patience so let me just say that we highly recommend this company, Dan and FABUWOOD cabinets. O’yes, we live in Orlando, Florida and the contractor we used was Kevin Morrison, 407-574-2424, and his company is South Shore Construction. He is very nice, patient, he will do as much or as little as you want. We interviewed and checked out three contractors. One of them put down getting a building permit and that is a sign of someone who cuts corners. Kevin is a honest contractor which means follows the code and law. He is ethical which means he treats you fairly and as he would want to be treated. He is a good guy. You should definitely interview him and let him evaluate your project. One last thing about Kevin. My wife is the type of person who carefully chooses a person to work with and then establishes a detailed plan, and leave it with the person to carry it out. On the other hand, I enjoy getting into the details, coming to the site and inspecting, occasionally changing my mind and asking questions. Kevin is a saint for putting up with us, I mean ME, and our very different personalities. Roger of Orlando"

"My story is long so please bear with me. My husband broke his hip and ended up having surgery and going to rehabilitation. Our bathroom was not properly equipped to accommodate his needs. I had 7 contractors come to my home and provide estimates to retrofit the master bathroom. To say that their estimates were over the moon is putting it mildly. The owner of Next level Shower and Bath was one of the last contractors to provide an estimate. He arrived on time, was extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring. He and I clicked right away. He totally understood what was needed and provided me with many suggestions. I was so impressed with his knowledge of what was needed to make our bathroom usable and comfortable for my husband who prior to the hip surgery, was using a walker and now using a wheelchair. His crew were top notch. They worked very hard and produced quality workmanship. Tim was on site everyday and constantly checking in to make sure he and his team were exceeding expectations. The end result was awesome. Both of us are enjoying our new SPA like and safe bathroom."

You'll need an expansion tank if your home has a closed water system, which is standard in newer homes or those with backflow preventers or pressure regulators. Expanding hot water has nowhere to go in closed systems, creating potentially damaging pressure. The expansion tank provides space for this expanded water, protecting your plumbing system and water heater from premature failure. Many local building codes now require expansion tanks, and some water heater warranties may be voided without one.
For a standard 50-gallon water heater, a two-gallon expansion tank is sufficient. This sizing assumes normal household water pressure between 40 and 60 psi. If your home has higher water pressure (60 to 80 psi), consider upgrading to a slightly larger tank for added protection. The expansion tank's purpose is to accommodate the increased volume that occurs when cold water heats up, which is proportional to your water heater's capacity.
Watch for signs like dripping water around the tank, fluctuating water pressure throughout your home, or unusual noises in your plumbing system. A properly functioning expansion tank should feel light when tapped on the bottom—if it feels heavy or waterlogged, the internal bladder has likely failed. Other indicators include frequent triggering of your temperature and pressure relief valve, visible corrosion on the tank, or unexplained increases in your water bill, suggesting hidden leaks.
Most expansion tanks have a service life of five to 10 years, though some may last up to 12 years or more with proper maintenance. Factors affecting lifespan include water quality, system pressure, installation quality, and tank construction. Hard water areas often see shorter lifespans due to mineral buildup. Regular maintenance checks can help identify potential issues before complete failure. When your water heater is due for replacement, it's wise to replace the expansion tank simultaneously, even if it hasn't failed yet.
A 30-gallon water heater needs an expansion tank if your home has a closed plumbing system. The need for an expansion tank is determined by your plumbing system type rather than water heater size. Even smaller water heaters create thermal expansion when heating water. If your home has a backflow preventer, pressure regulator, or check valve on the main water line, you have a closed system that requires an expansion tank. Check your local plumbing codes, as many jurisdictions now mandate expansion tanks regardless of water heater size.
