"This company responded quickly and professionally. They were at our house within a couple of hours at a time when every other business contacted could not come for a couple of days. Their technician was knowledgeable and did what he needed to do to diagnose the exact problem and he cleaned up when he was done. I would hire them again!"

"Rapid Response Plumbing is exactly that and more. I had a issue over the weekend and called frist thing Monday morning. To my surprise someone was at my door by 9:00 a.m. and the problem was completely fixed by 3:00 p.m. the same day. Being a single mother of 3 there is always a fear of being taken advantage of, I absolutely never felt that way with Rapid Response. The team laid out exactly what needed to be done and why. They did not just tell me they backed up thier word with pictures. I was in the loop the entire time and always felt confident in thier work and professionalism. I would without hesitation recommend Rapid Response to anyone looking for a plumber. I hope I never have the need to call one again but it I know who I can count on."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.

If your dishwasher keeps filling with water at the bottom but doesn’t fill into the sink, the issue is likely due to a blockage within the dishwasher or drain. Regularly clean your dishwasher filter basket to ensure it’s not clogged with food, and run a vinegar rinse periodically if you have hard water to remove limescale buildup.

You should inspect and clean your French drain at least once per year to keep it in good working order. Regular maintenance can help identify clogs, buildup, and damage before they become bigger problems, which increases the lifespan of your drain. The frequency with which a drain clogs can depend on factors like the amount of debris, the quality of the installation, and the type of filter used. If your drain accumulates a lot of sediment, it may require more frequent cleaning. It's also a good practice to check the access and exit points after heavy storms. If you notice reduced drainage or any signs of a clog, clean the drain as soon as possible.

Yes, drains are one common entry point for water bugs. However, water bugs may enter your home through various locations including doors, windows, pipes, and vents. Water bugs are drawn to the dark and moist atmosphere drains provide, and can easily find their way into your home through sewer drain pipes. You can stop water bugs from entering through drains by regularly cleaning your drains and repairing faulty drainage systems.

There are a few reasons your snake won’t go down the floor drain. One common reason is a large obstruction in the drain that is causing a blockage. You can remove any debris you see in the drain before trying to snake it. In addition, the snake might not be long enough to reach the clog, or it might be the wrong diameter.
