"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!"

"Mr. Patterson arrived when he said he would, removed the garbage disposal and put in new pipes under the kitchen sink.  He cleaned up everything and took it out.  I couldn't tell any work had been done without looking under the sink."

"
The phone contact person was pleasant and responsive. They sent plumber out with 4 hours after I called. That was good. He attempted to "snake" the drain and attempted to use a plunger (mine) none of which worked. I have an inexpensive plunger. He didn't have one on his truck. Strange for a plumber not to have a basic piece of equipment like a plunger. In any event he said I needed to have the drain cleaned and another plumber for Golden Rule would have to do that. $100.00 for this service call. Fortunately they had the drain cleaning guy available  that afternoon. His name was BO and he was great! Very informative and he payed attention to the possibility of something else may be going on  other then cleaning the drain Much more experienced then the first plumber. He said before, I clean the whole drain (600.00) Lets try plunging it with my plunger. A much better one then mine. After 2 min of using his plunger it flushed immediately. Another 100.00 service call. So in the end I got double charged (200.00) for something that should have been solved with the first service call. Not about the money, it's the principle of the transaction. Will, I use them again? Possibly, but only because of BO. I have purchased 2 plungers, as recommended by brand by BO. There is a difference in plunger's for your info.

"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."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Biodegradable drain cleaners use naturally derived ingredients, such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water, which bacteria and other microbes can break down. Unlike conventional cleaners that rely on corrosive bleach (sodium hydroxide), biodegradable options are gentler on fixtures and less harmful to the environment. Because they don't release harmful gasses, they are also safer to use, especially in households with children, and do not require the same safety precautions as bleach-based products.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

Common causes include hair buildup, soap residue, food particles, and foreign objects. Older pipes can also contribute by facilitating buildup more easily.

Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.
