Q: How do you unfreeze a washing machine pipe?

• <div><p>If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn&rsquo;t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.</p></div>

Q: Why is my dishwasher so loud while draining?

• <div><p>The drain pump will naturally make a standard operational and draining sound several times throughout your dishwasher cycle. If you hear abnormally loud sounds like scraping, grinding, or clicking, you may have food debris or a piece of glass stuck in your drain filter. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-avoid-dishwasher-repair.htm">Avoid dishwasher repair</a> by always scraping food off your dishes and loading the racks correctly.</p></div>

Q: How long does descaling a sewer line last?

• <div><p>Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of<b> 50 years</b>, although there&rsquo;s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust&mdash;leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.</p></div>

Q: How does drain cleaner dissolve hair?

• <div><p>Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.</p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a main drain without a snake?

• <div><p>If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don&rsquo;t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.</p></div>

"Al was very prompt on coming out to give me an estimate. He was very detailed and specific on his prices and how long it would take to do the job. He called me back and gave me an exact time frame for the schedule and confirmed it the week before. He and his son showed up on the first day on time and completed all the work within one week. I felt comfortable leaving him and his son at the house while i was at work.They did a great job on completing everything i needed, plus cleaned up when they were done. I will sure call Al again if I need any work done. He was very talented and could do any type of house repair you need. He and his son was a pleasure to deal with. thanks Al!

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes.
