Q: How does an air gap get clogged?

• <div><p>Air gaps get clogged by a few different means. Over time, food and grime can collect in the air gap, leading to a blockage. Mineral deposits from hard water are a common problem. Mineral buildup creates a film in the air gap and tubing, which can cause flow issues, as well as attract debris. Homeowners with hard water may want to remove mineral deposits regularly to keep the air gap clean and clear.</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: Can I clear a sewer main myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a new toilet if it keeps clogging?

• <div><p>While you don&rsquo;t have to run out and immediately buy a new toilet at the first sign of a clog, if the toilet keeps clogging because it&rsquo;s a low-flow or poorly designed model, a new toilet may be the way to go. If your toilet keeps clogging, you can try using less toilet paper, adjusting the fill valve, checking the toilet vent pipe on the roof, and using a toilet auger to make sure nothing is stuck in the pipe or trap.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take a plumber to unclog a drain?

• <div><p>On average, a plumber will take <b>30 minutes to two hours</b> to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn&rsquo;t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.</p></div>

Repaired my leaking main Second floor bathroom drain piping. Whoever did the original repair/ install obviously wasn’t a pro. Probably a child it was so bad. Mitch did a great repair and not one leak.
