"OK, so Mr. Frank was very professional. All his team was very professional, very polite. They were on time and they went far and beyond of what they were supposed to do and did not charge me more than what they said, so I am very very very satisfied with the work that Frank did, and I wanted to thank him team for being so wonderful and such a great People, we don’t get that anymore in America, but he definitely gave me that. And I’m so happy that I hired him. I had five different people that I got proposals from, and I called all of them multiple times to check on things. And definitely Frank. He definitely made this right. So if anybody needs a Plumber, that’s the guy needs to be hired once again. Thank you very much for all your services. And I recommend Frank to anyone that needs plumbing work done Thank You,"

"James is very punctual and thorough and does a very meticulous job. I highly highly recommend him. He explains everything he is doing and does not cut any corners and only does the best perfect work He gave me the best price out of five different plumbers for my water heater. Install at Price included the cost of the water heater, picking up the water heater and throwing away the old water heater. When I asked for his license and insurance information, he readily had it all on hand and provided it almost instantly I will have James back out very soon to complete more work for me"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, flushing a clogged toilet can make it overflow. While flushing the toilet may push enough pressure through the system to dislodge the clog, this is unlikely. Your best bet is to use a plunger and hope the suction can break up whatever is blocking the pipe. If this doesn’t work, use a plumbing auger or call a pro to help.

Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.

Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners, avoid pouring grease down the drain, and check for leaks under the sink.

It takes hair about two years to dissolve on its own in the drain without the use of any tool or help. Fortunately, using a drain snake, plunger, or any of the actions mentioned above to dissolve the hair will help get rid of the clog in as little as 15 minutes. 

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.
