Q: Why is the AC drip pan not draining?

• <div><p>An AC drip pan may stop draining if there&rsquo;s a clog where the drip pan connects to the drain line. Clogs can form from a lack of cleaning or from rust or corrosion buildup. Cleaning the drip pan at least once per month lowers the chances of debris clogging the drain line. </p></div>

Q: How long does descaling a sewer line last?

• <div><p>Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of<b> 50 years</b>, although there&rsquo;s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust&mdash;leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.</p></div>

Q: Can you use drain cleaner in a washing machine?

• <div><p>It is not advisable to use drain cleaner in a washing machine. Drain cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can damage the internal components of your washer, including rubber seals, hoses, and even the drum. These chemicals can also react with any residual detergent or fabric softener, potentially leading to noxious fumes. If your washing machine is experiencing drainage issues, it's best to address the problem directly by inspecting and cleaning the lint filter, checking for clogs in the drain hose, or seeking professional repair services. Using drain cleaner in a washing machine is a risky solution that can cause more harm than good.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to snake a drain or use a drain cleaner?

• <div><p>Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber&rsquo;s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent a drain clog?

• <div><p>The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. </p><p>To prevent clogs, get yourself:</p><ul><li><p>A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. </p></li><li><p>Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.</p></li><li><p>Trash cans for everything that shouldn&rsquo;t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.</p></li></ul><p><b>P.S.:</b> If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-retrieve-jewelry-drain.htm">follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain</a>. </p></div>

"This is the closest category I could find for what I had done and know that they do this type of work. I hired this company to install a french drain in the back of my yard. There is a hill behind me and the grade from the house made the water collect in a swamp with nowhere to go. They did a great job of trenching out the entire width of that area, added perforated pipe with a filter cloth and gravel, then replacing the topsoil. They put a well with a sump pump at the end and tubing to pump the water out to the front of the house so it would go into the drainage system. Mike Jr., Brandon Powers, Eric Lawhon and Mike Houtchins were the team of workers and did a great job cleaning up afterwards also. It was a pretty large project but it only took them two days to complete. I am very happy with the results and highly recommend them."

Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.
