"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."

"I had a great experience with The Sewer Boyz when they came out to locate and repair my sewer line. Jonathan made the whole process smooth and reassuring from start to finish. He took the time to explain how he would locate the line, clearly identified the problem, and walked me through the repair options without any pressure. His knowledge and professionalism immediately gave me confidence. The repair was done efficiently and with great attention to detail, and he made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. What really stood out was how respectful and personable Jonathan was. He treated my home with care, cleaned up thoroughly, and made sure I understood everything that was done. I truly appreciate his honesty and quality of work. Highly recommend this company. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

There are a few ways to unclog a toilet without a plunger. 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).

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.

Air gaps get clogged by a few different means. Over time, food and grime can collect in the air gap, leading to a blockage. Mineral deposits from hard water are a common problem. Mineral buildup creates a film in the air gap and tubing, which can cause flow issues, as well as attract debris. Homeowners with hard water may want to remove mineral deposits regularly to keep the air gap clean and clear.
