"Plumber was punctual, neat, and knowledgeable. Performed service and cleaned up after himself. The only problem was the price. I had another plumber that I usually use and he charges much less, but he was fully booked at the time."

"Ed Chachere is a local builder. There are a handful of people that work for him. They are very desired around town and are very sought after for very high end buildings by upmarket people. A lot of architects in town use Ed Chachere Construction. His work is very precise and he is being very careful with our 60-year-old house. They are using screws instead of nails for the work. Everything is very, very sharp in the cuts and very clean. I like his precision and the fact that the work is strong. He handpicks the lumber and is very careful to put the right side out. As a carpenter myself I look for those kinds of things. He has been very considerate. There were a couple of deck boards that shouldn’t have been side by side, but they got it right by tearing them up and remixing it. That was an example of how they were very willing to do what we wanted them to do. He has involved me throughout the process. The other day he fell off my roof and had to be taken to the emergency room. He was back on the job the next day, but we just made him sit all day and give directions from the chair. He has been here everyday since. I think he is great. He worked from the crack of morning until almost the last bit of daylight in the evening. He put in long, long days and I like that about him. We will probably use him in future."

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

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.
