Q: Can snakes come up through shower drains?

• <div><p>Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it&rsquo;s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they&rsquo;re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.</p></div>

Q: Why is raw sewage coming up my drain?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re not using a septic system, problems with your home&rsquo;s plumbing won&rsquo;t cause this&mdash;it&rsquo;s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately. </p></div>

Q: How to determine if my downspout drain is clogged?

• <div><p>There are several ways to tell if your gutter downspout drain is backed up. The most obvious sign is when you see water flowing over your gutter edges. This can occur during everything from light rain to a rainstorm. Additional signs can include peeling paint around your downspout, visible dirt around your downspout, and moisture on the side of the house. If you're having ongoing problems with clogs caused by a poorly designed or worn-out gutter system, consider getting a quote for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-gutter-replacement-cost.htm">gutter replacement cost</a>.</p></div>

Q: Why won't my snake go down the floor drain?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons your snake won&rsquo;t go down the floor drain. One common reason is a large obstruction in the drain that is causing a blockage. You can remove any debris you see in the drain before trying to snake it. In addition, the snake might not be long enough to reach the clog, or it might be the wrong diameter. </p></div>

Q: Can you pour hot water down a drain to unfreeze pipes?

• <div><p>It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.</p></div>

"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. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."
