"Mike & Trey are amazing plumbers and a true masters of the trade! They’ve helped me unclog all of my drain lines exiting from out the kitchen and the bathroom. Mike informed me everything that would need to be done due to it being an older home and provided me with a price I felt was worth paying. I do air conditioning work myself and had the privilege of meeting Mr. Mike Mincey and Trey Hadden throughout my journey at the company we had previously worked for at the time. I’ve watched both of them as a team pull off some pretty miraculous jobs that aren’t built out for the weak! I’ve also seen them pull off jobs by themselves and still made it work! It seems like every single time Mike and Trey always ended up with a satisfied homeowners! Honest work. Honest guys. It’s important to feel comfortable with who you have in your home and these two here have always exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend Vortex Plumbing to anyone in need of quality work and A1 customer service!"

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

A pipe burst will cause a portion of the water flowing into your home to escape through the damaged area, but some water is still likely to flow to your plumbing fixtures. If you’re noticing reduced water pressure or the slow flow of water from your sinks, you might have a burst pipe on your hands, especially if the weather is particularly cold outside. When in doubt, call in a plumber to inspect your system and check for leaks.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

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.

To keep window wells from filling up with water, you need to stay on top of maintenance. Remove debris as it fills up, and regularly loosen the gravel at the base if it’s become compacted. You can also reslope your yard to make sure water flows away from the window well (and your home’s foundation), and you can even install a window well cover to prevent debris from building up. Installing an actual drainpipe at the base of the well can also prevent window well drainage problems.
