Customers say: Quality work

"Jay is very responsive to my inquiries. Jay and George Albert did a very good job in cleaning up the clogs of our bathroom sink pipe and kitchen drain pipe. With George onsite and Jay providing guidance, the trouble shooting of our drain pipe clog was done smoothly and successfully. George is a happy person. He was smiling and singing when working on a complicated drainage clogging problem. We were very happy with the service from Jay and his team. I would highly recommend Jayâ s Precise Plumbing company to work on plumbing jobs. Thanks to Jay and George Albert for their excellent service!"

"I was really impressed with Water Heater Masters. They replaced our old tankless water heater with a new one. I had been thinking of going with a tank, since it's less expensive and we had the space for it, but they rightly pointed out to me that even a large tank wouldn't be able to fill the extra-deep bathtub we have. I was impressed with their professionalism - they showed up on time, did the work as promised and cleaned up after themselves. I have also called them once with a question on the heater, and they were really patient and helpful with answering my questions. I haven't rated them on price because I'm not sure how they compare to other water heater companies. The heater was expensive (to us) but of high quality, and I think it was worth it.

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There are several common signs that your main sewer line may be clogged. Key indicators include multiple fixtures in your home draining slowly, gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets, and water backing up into showers, sinks, or toilets. You might also notice water backing up from the plumbing system's drain cleanout, water in your basement drain, or unexplained wet patches on your lawn. Foul odors, such as the smell of raw sewage or rotten eggs, are another common symptom. The most reliable way to confirm a main sewer line clog is to hire a professional plumber to perform a camera inspection.

No. You should never pour old paint down a drain or sewer because it can clog pipes and pollute the environment. You must dispose of paint properly and safely. Different types of paint need to be disposed of in different ways—oil-based paints must be taken to a paint recycling center, while you can throw dried-out water- or latex-based paints in the garbage. 

A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.

Vinegar is better for an AC drain line because it’s less corrosive and won’t damage the pipes. It’s also a safer and easier product to use. Bleach should not be used on your AC drain line because it can corrode your pipes and harm the evaporator coil in your air conditioner.

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.
