"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!!!"

"We were experiencing minor plumbing issues like sinks not draining well and dripping faucets. We also ave a water heater which makes very strange noises when hot water is needed. It sounds similiar to a thunderstorm. He recommended to buy a new heater.

"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

To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you’ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink.

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.

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.
