Q: Can you spray bug spray down the drain?

• <div><p>No, it is not advisable to spray pesticides down the drain in your home. Most drinking water and wastewater treatment systems are not properly equipped to remove pesticides. Should pesticides infiltrate waterways, they can cause harm to plants, fish, or other living things. In most areas, pouring pesticides down the drain is illegal due to the potential harm it causes. </p></div>

Q: What’s the best method to clear hair out of a drain?

• <div><p>While there is no specific &ldquo;best&rdquo; method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups. </p></div>

Q: How long does liquid drain cleaner take to work?

• <div><p>Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour drain cleaner down a roof vent?

• <div><p>Pouring drain cleaner down a vent pipe isn&rsquo;t recommended. First of all, unlike a clog in a sink or bath caused by such material as soap scum build-up, toothpaste, and hair, clogs in a vent pipe are likely the result of debris from trees or even an animal stuck in the pipe. Drain cleaners won&rsquo;t be able to eat through this kind of material. The cleaner will only become clogged in the vent with the debris, causing even more problems.</p></div>

Q: How can I avoid a clogged toilet?

• <div><p>Flushing the toilet only to realize it&rsquo;s clogged can cause anxiety. To avoid a clogged toilet, use less toilet paper. If you notice that the toilet is flushing and refilling slower than usual, you can use a plunger to clear clogs in the S-trap. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, call a plumber to check your system and possibly clear the drain lines.</p></div>

"We had a clog in the drain that I couldn't get through by plunging or snaking, and needed a service call on a Saturday. The tech that showed up was very courteous and even educated me on why my attempts at snaking the drain were probably unsuccessful. He gave me some pointers on how to keep the drains clear in the future, and the call came with a 30 day service guarantee."
