You're planning a bathroom remodel and assuming the toilet can go anywhere once the tile's down?

That's how you end up with a fl**ge that sits too high or too low, a wax ring that leaks, and sewer smells showing up the week after you thought the job was done. Before you close up the subfloor, measure from the finished wall to the center of the toilet bolts. If you're moving the toilet, don't guess the location. Verify the rough-in height and fl**ge condition while the basement or crawlspace is still open. If you can't confirm it before the tile goes on, stop and call us first.

How we decide fix vs replace on a water heater in a Fargo basement:

I look for three things that tell me a repair is worth it:

1. Sediment buildup only, not tank corrosion. If the tank metal is sound, we can flush it.
2. The control, thermostat, or igniter tests good. If the brain of the unit works, the fix is straightforward.
3. Water temperature is consistent across the house. Scalding in one shower and lukewarm in another means a part, not the tank.

If you see any of these, STOP and call a plumber:

- Water pooling at the bottom or around the drain pan
- The T&P valve (temperature and pressure relief valve) keeps discharging for no reason
- Hot water won't hold steady at one setting no matter what you adjust

Parts are cheap. A new tank isn't. But throwing parts at a tank that's already failed just costs you twice.

That sewer smell after a shower isn't just unpleasant. It's usually the first sign your plumbing can't breathe.

When the venting system gets blocked, water draining from one fixture can pull air from another, and that's when you get gurgling drains, slow backups, and sewer gas pushing back into your home.

Here's what to check:

1. Do you hear gurgling in the sink or tub while it drains?
2. Does the smell get worse when you run multiple fixtures at once?
3. Are any drains on the same wall running slower than they used to?

If you notice bubbling, multiple fixtures backing up, or sewage coming up, stop and call us. That's past the point of a DIY fix, we'll trace the venting and cleanout before you've got a real mess on your hands.

If you're the "it's probably nothing" kind of homeowner, that toilet that randomly refills itself is probably nothing, until you see the water bill.

What's happening: the flapper (the rubber seal at the bottom of the tank) isn't sealing all the way. Water trickles past it into the bowl, the tank level drops, and the fill valve kicks on to top it off. Over and over.

You can check it in about 2 minutes.

1. Take the tank lid off and watch. If you see a steady trickle running into the overflow tube or the flapper sitting crooked, that's your problem.

2. Drop a few drops of food coloring into the tank. Don't flush. Wait 10-15 minutes. If color shows up in the bowl, the flapper is leaking.

If the flapper looks fine but water still sneaks through, or the fill valve (the part that refills the tank) keeps cycling on and off, call us. Some leaks need a replacement part you won't have on hand.

Every extra minute after a pipe bursts costs you more than you think.

One minute of a 1/2-inch line at full pressure pushes about 20 gallons into your home. That's soaked insulation, swollen drywall, and a basement floor that stays wet for days.

If it happens, here's what to do in the first 2 minutes:

1. Find your main shutoff (usually at the water meter) and turn the round handle clockwise until it stops or turn a long handle from parallel with the pipe to perpendicular to the pipe.

2. Open a faucet on the lowest floor to relieve pressure in the lines.

3. Lay a towel flat under the drip to keep water from tracking along the wall base.

Call us if the shutoff handle won't fully close or water keeps coming after you open a faucet.

You shut it off—then you still hear water running.

That “just a drip” problem can keep running after the handle’s been turned down. It wastes water on your bill and wears out the rotating parts inside the faucet.

Here’s what to check:
1) Dry everything and watch the stem/handle area for fresh drops right after you close it.
2) If the same spot always drips, it’s usually the cartridge/washer (the rotating insides).
3) If it speeds up when you wiggle the handle, stop brute-forcing it. The seat can get scored and you’ll be looking at a bigger repair.

If you’re seeing persistent dripping right after shutoff, give us a call 701-793-2636.

Think you can handle a “minor” leak under the sink? That’s how a slow supply-line leak turns into rotted subfloor and mold behind the cabinet.

Here’s the quick homeowner check:
1) Dry everything, then watch for fresh moisture at the supply shutoff (angle stop) and connector points.
2) Turn the water on and off to see if the leak follows the pressure cycle.
3) Check for damp insulation or staining on the wall/underneath the P-trap (the curved drain piece).

Stop and call a plumber if the leak keeps showing up after you shut off the fixture, you see ceiling/wall bubbling, or you can’t tell if it’s the supply line or the drain line. Drying it up isn’t the fix.

If your kitchen faucet starts “dribbling cold” or you get scalding-burst hot water that won’t steady, stop treating it like a simple aerator problem.

Often it’s a failing pressure-balance valve (mixing control) or a cartridge issue. Those temperature swings can get worse fast, and you don’t want to guess when the water is supposed to be safe.

Before you call it quits, check:
1) Do swings happen only when the dishwasher or laundry runs?
2) Does pressure change suddenly at certain times, especially when other fixtures run?
3) Any dampness around the valve body under the sink?

If the temp swings are getting worse, you can’t get stable temperature, or you suspect something behind the wall needs removal, that’s licensed-plumber territory.

Wet spot around the base of your toilet usually isn’t “just a little splash.” It’s usually either condensation or a wax ring (the seal between the toilet and the fl**ge) starting to fail.

Why it matters: a slow leak can rot the subfloor and loosen the whole setup before you ever see a big puddle.

Here’s what to check:
1) Dry everything and place a bit of toilet paper around the seam. If it wicks wet again within 10–30 minutes, treat it like a leak.
2) After the toilet’s been flushed, look for the same water line pattern repeating.
3) Lightly push the toilet. If it moves and the area stays wet, that’s a wax-ring job.

If the wet spot comes back after drying, or the toilet feels loose, stop troubleshooting and call a plumber. Replacing a wax ring is one of those repairs you don’t want to guess on.
