"Best response and service we have ever had for a plumbing problem. They called us immediately and very patiently listened to our issue and walked through the pricing and process. A plumber came to our home as scheduled and worked efficiently to assess and fix the problem. We had a drain clog (not camera locate breakage) and they removed the toilet, snaked the drain and fixed the problem very quickly! There were no surprises and we paid for their service by the hour rather than by the job which saved us many $$s. We would definitely use then again and highly recommend."

We believe our customers always deserve the best, every day. Give us a call and experience Bellows exceptional customer service today!

"If you want a company that guarantees their work don’t choose Bellows. I paid a ridiculous amount for a new HVAC system and one week after install it stopped working. This happened on a Saturday and they don’t have technicians available for emergencies on weekends and they won’t reimburse for a company that does. They told me not to worry we’ll make it right but the earliest service date they had available was two weeks later. Post sale they don’t care about the customer or about the quality of their work. Make sure to choose another company for your HVAC needs."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.

When hiring a sewer line company, you need to consider more than just the quoted price. Make sure to check that the company or contractor is licensed, certified, and insured to protect you both. Check for positive reviews, and you can even request references for extra peace of mind. 

To find the best contractor, you might also want to consider how long the company has been in business doing sewer line cleaning and if they’ve won any industry awards for their work and service. Review potential contracts closely, and look for transparent pricing.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.
