Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is a family owned and operated plumbing company servicing Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Davenport, and Waterloo- and all areas in between. We offer 24 hour emergency service and your phone call will always be answered by a live person. Each of our technicians is background checked and drug tested to insure that we are sending safe individuals into your home. When they arrive, they will always be dressed in a clean uniform with a tucked-in shirt and will put shoe covers on over their boots before coming into your home. They are also sure to clean up any messes that may be created during a repair. Our technicians will arrive in a full stocked truck when they come to your home for a repair. This allows them to complete almost any job without having to "run out to get parts". It also gives them the benefit of being able to look each concern over, give you all of your options, and give you straight forward pricing for each option- all before they begin their work. This is to help you make an informed decision on how you would like them to proceed. We always try to the best of our ability to work with your schedule when booking an appointment, and in most areas we offer extended business hours during the week and do have appointments available on the weekends (including Sundays). Call today to schedule your plumbing repair, and mention you saw us on Angie's List to receive a $25 repair discount.

"Mr Rooter showed up and spent 3 hours augering on our kitchen sink drain that was draining very slow. The tech gave up and started instructing me to find where the drain line ran in the basement and start cutting inspection holes in the drywall ceiling and walls to cut into pipe in the basement. Left with sinks in kitchen both full and drain was then completely plugged. Charged me $320 to make my problem worse. I called Kruser Septic the next day. They showed up and used a small jet and within 45 minutes the drain was running free and junk was completely blown out of the pipe. Total bill was $180 with 2 service techs on site."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.

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.

Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. Grinder pumps can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).

With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they’re usually U-shaped).

There are many things that could cause your basement floor drain to back up. One significant cause of a drainage backup is flushing non-flushable items, such as wipes, paper towels, and facial tissue. Other causes of a backed-up basement floor drain include tree roots impeding the drain pipe or an accumulation of hair, oil, and grease.
