"I took advantage of a promotion ARS was offering in mid April to come to my condo for a routine tune up of my furnace and AC. From the second the plumber walked through my door, he was trying to sell me something. First, he said the quality of my air was awful, and I needed an air scrubber. Then he recommended I purchase their annual tune-up service/subscription where I get priority service and discounts on the parts he was trying to sell me. We then went out to my Air Conditioning unit. He said he was not allowed to touch it because it was out of code and against environmental standards. He recommended I purchase a new unit. When I asked how much, he said he'd need to get a sales professional out to give me a quote. That was after he had tried to sell me three different things... This week, with the temperatures rising, I turned on my air conditioning. Except there was a problem: It would not turn on. After trying to troubleshoot by changing the batteries in my thermostat and switching off and on the fuses, I finally called an HVAC professional recommended by a friend. The plumber walked in, looked at my furnace, laughed, and turned on the switch. He said most likely it was left off so I would have to call back and be charged for another ARS service call. He also tested my air quality and said it was fine. Lastly, even though my AC unit might be out of code. I am still grandfathered in on maintenance and other services that are needed. Long story short, as a new home buyer (less than 1 year) I will never utilize ARS services again and would not recommend it to any friends or family members. All they are trying to do is sell you their products and services. Clearly, they do not care about delivering a great customer experience or consider doing what is best for the customers. Or I guess former customers...."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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. 

Conventional drain cleaners, like you might buy at the grocery store, use bleach (sodium hydroxide) as the main ingredient. On the contrary, biodegradable drain cleaners use gentler ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water to clear out drains. 

Bleach is extremely corrosive and releases harmful gasses—hence the need for wearing safety protections like rubber gloves, eye goggles, face masks, and long sleeves and properly ventilating the room while using bleach. Biodegradable cleaners, however, don’t use bleach. Therefore they are safer to use, especially if you have a house full of children.

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.

While not every clog has the same symptoms, the most common early sign that your main sewer line is clogged is that multiple drains in your home are draining slowly. You may also notice gurgling and odors from drains. If your plumbing system's drain cleanout is backing up with water, this is also a sign of a clog or blockage.

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.
