Q: Is hiring a drain cleaner worth it?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What tools are used for sewer clearing?

• <div><p>Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.</p></div>

Q: Is Thanksgiving the busiest day for plumbers?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s true: Thanksgiving is known as one of the busiest days of the year for plumbers. The day after Thanksgiving is also a jam-packed day, as people reckon with the issues caused by pushing too much turkey meat down the garbage disposal or other plumbing problems. If you run into a plumbing emergency during Thanksgiving, you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that plenty of plumbers work on Thanksgiving due to the uptick in demand.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. In most cases, the level of sewer gas you&rsquo;re exposed to in a home will be low enough to only cause minor symptoms, though high levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous. If you&rsquo;re smelling sewer gas in your home, it&rsquo;s important to locate, assess, and fix the problem, because it won&rsquo;t go away on its own. </p></div>

The elections were very professional and completed the installation quickly and with minimal mess. They cleaned up after themselves and left the worksite very clean. I would use JM Electric again when I need another electrical repair!
