"The folks @ Mike Counsil have done work for us in the past, including the heater installation and unclogging/cleaning a backed up drain. Any time we've had work done by them, they are always right on time and very professional. They get the job done and clean up after they're finished to ensure there's no clean up for the customer. I highly recommend them for all of your plumbing needs."

Customers say: Quality work

"ICR Plumbing provided exceptional service. I had a major problem where water was coming through the garage from the bathtub drain, "waste over flow " Israel was extremely knowledgeable and fixed the problem in less than a day's time. First he had to remove a heavy bookcase that was nailed to garage wall to access area, he removed and replaced all the sheet rock and pipe connected to bathtub. He did an awesome job and was very personable and honest, His price was reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone in need of home improvement, as he is knowledgeable in many areas and does great work! I will definitely call him again on more projects! He is The Best!. He went above and beyond his call of duty and helped me cut up other stuff with his electric saw so I could go to the dump. He even emptied my lawn mower bag for me which was not part of the job. He also is an expert at plumbing and has many years of experience."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.

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

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.
