"I hired Waterworks Plumbing & Drain to fix a leaking water spigot and a dripping showerhead. Jared arrived the same day I called and quickly fixed the outside spigot and the showerhead drip. Jared’s quick response and excellent communication is why I will use Waterworks Plumbing & Drain for all my future plumbing needs."

"Eric Thompson and his crew were willing to jump in and help me immediately when I had an irrigation system leakage issue. They did not hesitate to help even though I live in Indiana and the house is in AL. So impressed with his level of service and repaired the problem quickly and with minimal cost. Highly recommend this company and Eric Thompson!!!!!"

"Dylan and his crew were punctual, very professional and very responsive to any of our questions. They were great in showing us exactly what they were doing and also ensured that their work did not interfere with any underground water irrigation system pipes. They were very friendly. Nathan and Jordan also were very punctual, professional and responsive to any of our questions and concerns. They ensured that we were satisfied with their work and took the time to explain the procedure and to suggest an alternative for one particular area (i.e., grinding down a portion that could not be made to meet with the existing concrete). We would definitely recommend this company in the future. Brian, our foundation inspection person, also was great. He followed up with us to let us know when to expect the teams and did a thorough inspection of our foundation."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.

Coke and other sodas do clean a clogged drain, so this is one of those urban myths that has some truth behind it. Coke and similar sodas are caustic and will provide some cleaning power to your drains. However, the power of soda pales in comparison to dedicated cleaners or even baking soda.

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.

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.
