Q: How do you unclog a toilet without a plunger?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-unclog-toilet-without-plunger.htm">unclog a toilet without a plunger</a>. Break up the clog with homemade solutions containing soap, vinegar, and baking soda, or simply let hot water spend some time in the drain. You can also use a two-liter soda bottle filled with water to push pressurized water into the pipe to dislodge the debris (see the steps above).</p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a garbage disposal with standing water?

• <div><p>For disposal clogs with standing water, use a sink plunger and place it over the garbage disposal drain. Push the sink plunger up and down the drain about six to eight times before lifting. If the sink drains, the clogged food particles are dislodged from the drain. If there&rsquo;s still standing water, repeat the steps until the standing water clears out. </p></div>

Q: How do you tell if a drainpipe is frozen or clogged?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s sometimes difficult to distinguish a clog from a frozen drainpipe since ice technically causes a clog. If the temperature doesn&rsquo;t tip you off, there are a few additional signs that your pipe is frozen. Look for condensation and frost around the pipes. Ice in pipes can cause a banging or clanking noise as opposed to a clog from a softer material.</p></div>

Q: Do drain cleaning experts need to be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don&rsquo;t technically need a license, as they aren&rsquo;t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They&rsquo;ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to check your plumber&rsquo;s professional licenses before hiring.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of roots in a main sewer line?

• <div><p>You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-sewer-line-replacement-or-repair-cost.htm">Sewer line replacement costs</a> about $60 to $250 per linear foot. </p></div>

Called for a gutter quote and during the inspection the specialist noticed a few leaks and offered to cover them up for me until I get the roof replaced. Was able to get an estimate of the roof and gutters the same day. Financing saved the day and the honestly and knowledgeable roof specialist...

They gave us a full disclosure of all options available to handle our high moisture/mold problem in crawlspace as well as total costs. Showed up as scheduled and work was done in timely manner. Employees were courteous and professional.

On the initial job, a drain and dehumidifier were installed which needs yearly service. They came out one year after installation and serviced the dehumidifier as promised.
