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: What is the main purpose of a sewage ejector pump?

• <div><p>A sewage ejector pump works to move solid waste and wastewater from below ground, basement fixtures up into the main sewer line of the home, where it can then drain out into the city sewer system or your septic tank. Without a sewage ejector pump, this wastewater would simply pool and flood your basement.</p></div>

Q: Can you connect to an existing sewer line?

• <div><p>In most cases, you can&rsquo;t connect to an existing sewer line, but this is specific to new builds and additions. For example, if you add on to a home or build an ADU, you'll likely have to install an entirely new sewer line. In most places, connecting new lines to an existing line is not up to code. As such, most new home builds or additions will require proposals for an entirely new line from the construction site to the sewer.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a backwater valve and a backflow preventer?

• <div><p>A backwater valve&rsquo;s purpose is to let the water flow in one direction. It works like a little door that allows water to flow freely in one direction but stops it from flowing the opposite way. A backflow preventer is meant to prevent water from leaving your system, locking out wastewater in the process. Backflow preventers are commonly used by city sewer systems to stop residential wastewater from entering the water supply. </p></div>

These people are scammers. Quoted $55k to replace the pipes in the house and insurance declined. Then quoted $18k to locate leak and repair by tearing up floors and walls. Insurance approved $12k and we were on the hook for $6k. They came out to detect the areas for the leak. The day they came...

Efficient, professional and speedy installation. Todd has a facility for explaining what he intends to do regarding the job (and why) in layman's terms. No jargon. In my opinion a very good businessman and an indispensable vendor when you have electrical issues.
