"We have an older home with older ductwork. We had Spencer and Brayton out and they cleaned and sealed our ductwork. They did a great job. Professional, great communication, attention to detail. They reduced our air leakage by 86%. We noticed an immediate difference in improved airflow, our cold spots are no longer cold spots. Thanks!"

"They charged 2/3rds of another local company for the same equipment. The installer was on time, did a good job, kept me informed of progress, cleaned up when he was done, and gave thoughtful answers to my maintenance questions."

"Installation completed satisfactorily. Only surprise to me was that the portion of the water trek that sits above the cement floor wasn't flat against the basement wall. Not really an issue but not as clean of a look as I thought it would be

"PCS did a great job replacing my driveway and service walk. They completed the work quickly, it looks great, and exceeded my expectations. They were extremely cautious removing and replacing the grass around the driveway and cleaned up all the areas where they worked to a condition better than they found it. I would most definitely recommend their work and hire them again for any concrete work."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

Yes, you can use hydrogen peroxide to unclog a drain. Instead of using a baking soda and vinegar solution, you can use baking soda with hydrogen peroxide. The process to unclog a drain is the same as with vinegar, but use 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide instead.

Preventing water accumulation involves regular inspections, maintaining effective drainage systems, ensuring proper roof maintenance, and taking preventive measures against heavy rainfall or floods.

If you don’t have a sewer cleanout, clearing out clogs can be extremely difficult. You would need to try to clear the clog from sink drains, but it can be harder to reach the clog all the way in the drain line. A sewer cleanout makes it much faster and easier for pros to clear clogs from your main sewer line.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.
