"Service person arrived and told me what he was going to do. I told him he had to go in the attic and he said that wasn't a problem. I also said I had a second furnace and asked how much for it. He said he would take a look at it and tell me after he did the first one. He took the filters out on the patio for cleaning being careful to wear shoe covers when he came in the house. He did the second furnace for the same price of $39. I was very pleased with the whole experience.

"Dealing with Plumbing Plus was very pleasant. They answered my request promptly, and sent a plumber out promptly. Darryl was extremely knowledgable and helpful, and we decided on a project . I was surprised by the quote, as another companies was MUCH higher. The following day the project seemed to take a little longer than expected and some unforeseen obstacles presented themself. I was elated that this did not affect the original bid and am completely satisfied the the work and all around personality of Darryl. I would highly recommend plumbing plus to anyone."

Customers say: Quick response

"First we had a backup of our sewer into the kitchen sink. When they came out to clear the blockage, we found out that there was a break in our sewer line - an offset allowed the sewer to back up. Using a camera and other technology, they were able to locate the break - precisely - it was 9 feet below the surface. Working around the rain, the following people put their heart and sole into getting it fixed. Gabriel was in charge of the group - Frank ran the camera crew, Raul dug the hole down past the gas line, electric and water lines. Francisco and Martin did the power flush after the line was repaired. These guys worked IN THE RAIN to get the job completed in a timely manner. After RAUL dug below the service lines, a backhoe was used to complete the hole. I'm sorry, but I cannot remember the name of the operator of the backhoe. Again, superb work. As I'm sure you can tell - I am very pleased with this crew. Robert M. Irvin"

"Gabriel, the owner, promptly provided an estimate that was much higher than three others I secured. The higher cost was related to moving the furnace to the attic because the larger furnace plenum would interfere with a roof truss. Since others did not recommend moving to the attic, Gabriel offered to come back and reevaluate his proposal. By offsetting the furnace in the closet, he agreed it would fit. The new proposal was comparable to others, and included larger coolant lines. I chose him because he knew his business and explained things very well. I was convinced he would do a good job. The work was done on time and to perfection. The workers (all speaking good English) were knowledgeable, polite, friendly, hard working and they cleaned up every day. The system works great. The insulation keeps the house moderate, so the system does not work nearly as often. An asbestos abatement company had to come in ahead to remove existing asbestos. They charged $800 to remove two pieces (a flu casing and a small wall piece next to the flu). Two workers spent 1.5 hrs to do the job. I felt their price was too steep. Gabriel was able to get them to reduce their price by $200. At my request, Gabriel gave me a week after completion for payment so that I could post the payment after the credit card closing billing cycle, allowing me an extra month to gather the funds. That was nice of him, since the contract was for full payment upon completion. All in all a good experience."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

Toilet paper is the only material that you should flush down toilets. Other items like wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and medications should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing these items can lead to plumbing issues and damage to sewage systems. Grease and cooking oils should also be avoided as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages. Proper disposal helps prevent clogs and ensures the efficient operation of wastewater treatment systems while protecting the environment.

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.

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.
