"Jason responded to my early morning request quickly and showed up at my house the same morning. He recognized the problem with our water heater, got it drained, disconnected, and removed before he had to leave for another scheduled appointment. He also recommended someone to look at the damaged pedestal. After the repairs to the pedestal, Jason was back promptly the next morning when he said he would arrive to install the new water heater. He was done quickly, cleaned up everything, and even let my wife know that there would most likely be air in the pipes that would cause sputtering and noise when each faucet was turned on. Consummate professional and highly recommended."

Our new system works perfectly, and we?re already noticing the difference in efficiency and hot water availability. If you?re looking for an honest and reliable plumber, this is the person to go to! I definitely recommend Cortes Plumbing Service. & Drains."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

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.

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.

Clogged pipes are one of the top signs your water heater is about to fail. Potential symptoms of excess sediment buildup include not enough hot water, leaks, unusual noises, low water pressure, and discoloration or odors in the water.

You can unclog a double kitchen sink by plunging the side with the garbage disposal. Cover the drain hole on the other side first to avoid creating a mess. Plunge up and down until the water starts to drain. You can also pour in baking soda and vinegar to try and dissolve a clog. 

A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.
