"This is about the fourth time I've used Tony's Plumbing. They always do an excellent job for me and something just as important, I feel I can trust them to give me an honest answer when they come out to do a job for me. Had them out to do clean a slow drain that had been this way for some time. Had considered getting another company out that I had a coupon for, but then decided to to call Tony's instead since I can trust them if there were additional problem. Glad I did since it turned out to be a lot more complicated than just putting a snake down the pipe as their snake kept getting stuck. Paul, the tech doing the job, finally had to replace a section of the pipe and now drain is running freely again. I have also had them out to replace my water heater, replace my kitchen sink and reroute a drain from my HVAC. They have done a good job for me each time. They are definitely my go to plumber."

"The Drain City Plumbing, Inc. this company was absolutely the best. I have an older building with cast iron drains and main line. They did exactly what they said they would do. I was using another company but now Drain City plumbing is my go to. They came when they said and finished very timely. Also their prices are very reasonable. Look at the pipes they removed and replaced!"

"Great service and work from Miguel and team. I would hire them again. What originally was a slow draining sewer line turned into a root infested backup. Miguel was able to scope the drain and visualize the root of the problem. They were prepared to start digging and had the tools and supplies on the truck to get the job completed. He clearly explained the discovery, repair, and installation process as well as potential other root intrusion spots. After the dig, the soil and grass was replaced and can hardly tell that any work was done. They also cleaned the dirt/mud on the concrete walk way. Thank you Miguel and team for the great work."

"I had 2 project with this vendor. Jose & Alex both came to the rescue. 1st was a quote and later water heater install. Then had a old cast iron drain clog that required replacement. They were professional and skilled. I am happy with the service and their fair pricing. Don’t bother shopping around and waste time give them a call directly."

"We just finished remodeling our condo. Unfortunately, we had a lot of issues with our contractor's plumber, so we decided to hire another plumber to finish the fixtures and appliance installations for us. In comes KennyWe had 2 extensive walk-through's with Kenny before he started and shows him EXACTLY what was being asked of him, and all the installs that were "unique" because we knew we had some special installs. None of them read any of the instructions that came with the appliance, despite us telling them that they should because some of our units were new to market. As a result, they neglected to take out (4) 7" bolts from our combo washer/dryer, causing us the 10-year warranty that we had paid for and almost breaking our unit. They also had no idea how to install a counter-top sink where it doesn't move. The sink STILL moves around and he still hasn't figure out that he just needs to put some silicone underneath to prevent it from moving around. In the end, they installed everything but they were extremely dirty. They left shoe marks on every single wall that was near them, causing us to hire our painter back to repaint some of the walls because it wouldn't clean. They left the packaging to the appliances and the fixtures everywhere, where as all of our other vendors cleaned up after themselves. They were not resourceful in figuring out unique solutions to any problem that came up; I basically had to guide them along. On a positive note, Kenny and his team are very kind and honest people, which is why I've given him a much better rating that I would have if they weren't. Kindness, respect and punctuality say a lot about a vendor. I just don't think they're cut out for new construction. They're probably better suited for regular repairs."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

Clogs in a sprinkler valve can be caused by various factors, including debris in the water supply, sediment buildup inside the valve, or damage to the diaphragm. Debris and sediment can accumulate over time, obstructing the valve's passages and impeding water flow. Damaged diaphragms may develop tears or holes, leading to blockages and affecting the valve's ability to open or close properly. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent and address these issues, ensuring your sprinkler valve operates smoothly.

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.

Your clothes—and your washing machine—will send you a few signals if you’re overdue for cleaning your washing machine filter. If you notice a buildup of detergent residue on your clothes, your clothes don’t dry quickly or at all, or you’re noticing lint in the machine, it’s time to clean the filter. 

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.
