Small family owned business 11 employees including owners, we do not sub contract any work, all work is to be paid for upon our departure, check out our web site for specials

"We live in an older neighborhood with a unique older sewer system that uses a septic catch basin/tank (~500 gal) that discharges to the main (city) sewer system. Most of the plumbers and other septic companies I spoke with had no experience with this, but A&J has worked in this area before and understood what to look for. We are new owners of the home, but according to our neighbors the tank has not been opened in over 30 years! We provided all the details on the system that we had discovered and even sent photos. We scheduled for a septic pumping, rodding and camera of the discharge line. The septic crew gave us a courtesy call 30 minutes prior to arrival and wanted to make sure we knew there was a digging fee to unbury the tank lid after the first foot…We were not told that while setting up the appointment. We postponed the service and dug up the lid ourselves, which A&J had no problem with. Once the lid was exposed, we rescheduled and again the septic crew gave us a courtesy call. They arrived on-time and were professional but brief. Our sanitary solids were right at the bottom of the inlet, and the septic crew did a decent job pumping and a good job taking care in our yard and keeping their equipment organized. Unfortunately, their power washer was broken and they had to use our hose and water. We had to ask to get my hose cleaned off afterwards – you would think they would do that automatically, as a courtesy, after having to use it. Additionally, we were told we may have a soil bottom and they couldn’t spend “all day” (<1hr) pumping. (Afterwards, I called the city and they said that was very unlikely). If the crew brought the right equipment (working power washer, crust buster or equiv.) then the pumping would not have taken so long. The sewer rodding staff, Kyle, was the star of the show! He called us 1.5 hrs before the appointment to let me know his current job was likey to go long and there was traffic getting out of Chicago, so we pushed the appointment – he arrived exactly when he said he would. He set up his equipment quick and efficiently, the whole time explaining what he was planning to do and asking questions about my system. Kyle noticed our outlet baffle was loose due to its age and looooong neglect, was at risk of breaking during service. Note my outlet baffle is almost 7 ft bgs. Kyle provided us with a few troubleshooting options and explained the risk and benefits clearly. In the end he worked carefully, protected our baffle and had the line cleared all the way to the main in no time. Kyle even saved us a few hundred $, noticing there was a fair amount of sludge on the rodder cable. With the tank still filling (no water discharge) the camera lens would be obscured by the sludge, but we still would have to be charged for the service. He recommended waiting a few weeks to allow the line to clear and either reschedule the camera service then or just monitor the tank and request the service as needed. All in all, A&J did good work, but I was not fully impressed with the pumping service and was considering another contractor next time until Kyle showed up. He was knowledgeable, clear and truthful and got the work done efficiently. That’s how a service should be provided – having the tools to perform the work, well trained, up front and courteous staff."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.

Conventional drain cleaners, like you might buy at the grocery store, use bleach (sodium hydroxide) as the main ingredient. On the contrary, biodegradable drain cleaners use gentler ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water to clear out drains. 

Bleach is extremely corrosive and releases harmful gasses—hence the need for wearing safety protections like rubber gloves, eye goggles, face masks, and long sleeves and properly ventilating the room while using bleach. Biodegradable cleaners, however, don’t use bleach. Therefore they are safer to use, especially if you have a house full of children.

Some signs that your main sewer line is clogged are easy to spot, like when water backs up into your showers, sinks, and toilets for no apparent reason. However, some indicators are more subtle. The most common signs that you may have a clogged sewer main include:

  • Gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilet

  • Water in your basement drain or in the lawn

  • Smell of raw sewage throughout your home

  • Other found odors like rotten eggs around your home

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

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.
