"On February 10th, 2015 I called Kirkwood Plumbing to see if they could put in a new kitchen faucet and garbage disposal.  Because they do not have a showroom, they suggested a plumbing supplier.  I followed their suggestion and after purchasing my items I called Kirkwood Plumbing back to schedule an appointment.  Two days later Jim, a 5th generation plumber, showed up promptly at my door. He was personality plus!  He was very friendly and put my mind at ease about the project.  I had an unorthodox configuration under my sink, but Jim was not deterred.  He worked quickly, efficiently and neatly.   Jim is not just a plumber, he is an artist.  He replaced old valves and made underneath the sink look new again.  He checked everything to make sure it worked, including the dishwasher.  He also explained the usage and care of our new items.  I've used Kirkwood Plumbing several times and would highly recommend them.  The office personnel is very efficient.

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.

A washing machine should drain the water used during its cycle through a drainpipe and out through the house’s plumbing. This is the same plumbing that sinks and shower drains run to, and if the U-bend is installed correctly, it shouldn’t smell. The total drainage from the house is then integrated into the city sewer system or, if you’re in the country, dispersed into a septic tank.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

If your washing machine drain is clogged, that isn’t a good sign. Unlike toilet drains or kitchen sink drains, there isn’t matter that is easily broken up with a plumbing snake, and more care is required. If you’re in an old house or have mineral-rich water, there could be a buildup inside the pipe. Either way, if the blockage isn’t obvious and doesn’t dislodge with a snake, you need to call a pro—otherwise, you risk damaging integral plumbing.

If the drain pump on your washing machine is continuously draining, it could be that the control board is damaged and requires repair, or there’s a clogged or kinked drain hose. If you can’t locate the problem, you’ll want to have a plumber or appliance repair expert come take a look.
