"Workmen were very professional and courteous, cleared the drain and installed a new showerhead with hand held shower. I am satisfied. However they did not wear masks as other repairmen do."

"Benjamin Franklin responded to our request for service the morning after we called and left a message (the evening before). Notified us that a plumber would be sent earlier than the scheduled appointment if he became available sooner. Call service rep was very friendly, explained how the service call would be handled (and the costs). Acknowledged on-line coupon credit for service call resulting in diagnosis and repair as necessary. Plumber (Jordan) arrived on time, was very courteous and friendly, took measures to keep house and work area clean, explained the work recommended and costs. Repair was made expeditiously and a two year warranty on parts and labor was given. The service was pricey, but the result and the plumber's professionalism were exemplary--and the response time to our needs was very good (not an emergency). We have used Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for many of our plumbing needs--both water and natural gas and have been pleased every time. Again, pricey but very reliable."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.

If your drain doesn’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.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

You should inspect and clean your French drain at least once per year to keep it in good working order. Regular maintenance can help identify clogs, buildup, and damage before they become bigger problems, which increases the lifespan of your drain. The frequency with which a drain clogs can depend on factors like the amount of debris, the quality of the installation, and the type of filter used. If your drain accumulates a lot of sediment, it may require more frequent cleaning. It's also a good practice to check the access and exit points after heavy storms. If you notice reduced drainage or any signs of a clog, clean the drain as soon as possible.
