Q: How long does it take a plumber to unclog a drain?

• <div><p>On average, a plumber will take <b>30 minutes to two hours</b> to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn&rsquo;t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove a drain without crosshairs?

• <div><p>If your drain doesn&rsquo;t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour old motor oil down the drain?

• <div><p>Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to use a drain snake or drain cleaner in homes with a septic tank?

• <div><p>For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren&rsquo;t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-call-for-clogged-drain.htm">who to call for a clogged drain</a>. </p></div>

Q: Do I need a new toilet if it keeps clogging?

• <div><p>While you don&rsquo;t have to run out and immediately buy a new toilet at the first sign of a clog, if the toilet keeps clogging because it&rsquo;s a low-flow or poorly designed model, a new toilet may be the way to go. If your toilet keeps clogging, you can try using less toilet paper, adjusting the fill valve, checking the toilet vent pipe on the roof, and using a toilet auger to make sure nothing is stuck in the pipe or trap.</p></div>

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."
