"We’ve used Jimmy from Coleson Plumbing for years for all of our plumbing projects! Our house was built in 1957 so you can imagine the issues we’ve had over the years. Jimmy and Coleson Plumbing is Honest, Professional, extremely clean, and time after time has always come in at the best price for the job! In the past I would always get stressed calling some random plumber because you are at their mercy like a car mechanic! But, when you call Coleson Plumbing all that anxiety goes away bc they provide quality work for the absolute best price!!!! We have used them for so many different projects in the past because of their attention to detail and quality of work! It’s so refreshing that their are companies such as Coleson Plumbing that still exist today! Jimmy from Coleson Plumbing has replaced all of our Galvanized Pipe with PVC, installed 2 Regulators, replaced our Hot Water Heater with a Tankless Hot water heater and also installed our kitchen and bathroom fixtures and repaired a slow drain we’ve had for the past 10 years that past plumbers could never fix properly! Give him a call or text for an estimate before you go with another plumber and pay thru the roof! You won’t be disappointed!!!"

"Jeremy was great! I had been told by a different plumber that my heat exchanger was fried and corroded and it was going to cost $3200 to repair. I didn't hire that guy. Jeremy Lawson came out and checked out my water heater. He said it didn't look like it had ever been used. It wasn't hooked up correctly. He took the time to track down the water lines and hook them up correctly. Replaced a breaker that was the wrong amp. with the correct one. I recommend him highly and he will be my plumber for all my future plumbing needs!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Biodegradable drain cleaners use naturally derived ingredients, such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water, which bacteria and other microbes can break down. Unlike conventional cleaners that rely on corrosive bleach (sodium hydroxide), biodegradable options are gentler on fixtures and less harmful to the environment. Because they don't release harmful gasses, they are also safer to use, especially in households with children, and do not require the same safety precautions as bleach-based products.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

Chemical drain cleaners can work to clear clogs in pipes, but their use should be approached with caution. These harsh chemicals can damage pipes over time, and they can also harm the environment. Use them sparingly and consider alternative methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. If you have concerns about a persistent clog, it's best to consult a professional who can safely and effectively address the issue without causing further damage to your plumbing system.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.

You can often unclog a garbage disposal in less than 10 minutes, though sometimes you might need longer if you’re unsure what’s causing the clog. For minor clogs, consider plunging the drain, flushing the drain with baking soda and vinegar, or using an Allen wrench to free the clog. If the clog is more severe, contact a local plumber.
