Hey I am Nick. I am a master plumber that has worked for many majority of companies. I am seeking to start my own as I have surpassed the knowledge of working for somebody else. I am Master in plumbing and gas piping, and currently work for one of the largest plumbing companies in town. I witness every day of having to over charge my customers due to large companies overhead quantities. I am here to resolve that while helping you and myself! I do honest work and I look forward to be the plumber you call when things go wrong!

"Scheduling the appointment was the biggest challenge.  It took a couple of voicemails and calls to get the appointment scheduled.  The technician didn't show up for the first appointment.  I called the office, but didn't get an answer.  After a couple of calls to their cell number, I was able to reach Jan and he let me know they were down a truck that day (Monday) and I would have to reschedule with the office.  When I got in touch with the office, the lady there said she wasn't sure when they would be able to get there since the truck was down.  She said she would call the next day (Tuesday), but didn't.  I called back on Wednesday, and they were able to come out that morning if I could be there.  They arrived as promised and did a great job on everything.  They completed within the two hour time window and cleaned up.  The technicians were very friendly and professional.  I know that trucks break down and schedules have to change, but there should have been better communication from their office.  Once they came out, everything went smoothly."

"Dennis and his team said our pipes appeared to be in good shape and suggested a good cleaning first to see if that would fix our draining problems. They were right and they saved us a lot of $$ and our drain is working fantastic now. I would highly recommend D & G Plumbing for their integrity and quality service! I will absolutely be calling them again for all of my future plumbing needs."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’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.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

The best drain cleaners are biodegradable ones or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Strong, caustic chemicals may seem appealing with promises of unclogging your drain quickly, but liquid drain cleaners can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.

Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.
