"Highly recommend Alex for your needs, he installed 2 brand new toilets for us and got it done super quick and we ran into no issues with having him as our plumber. He works very efficiently and the work is top notch!! Would hire again for all future needs and I recommend you to also!"
"A++++++ to Valley Excavating! First of all Dave, the owner, calls you back. They showed up, gave me an estimate, and called me a few days later asking if I wanted to do it tomorrow? YES!! They installed a drain system in front of my garage door, resolving an ice accumulation problem I had been experiencing. Paul, the project manager, did the estimate and directed the work crew. Direct, to the point, no BS. I very much enjoyed dealing with him. The quality of their cut into my driveway told me they knew what they were doing. The installation and finishing work (replacement of asphalt) was done professionally. I highly recommend Valley Excavating for your project!"
"After several days of heavy rain, we noticed a small amount of water in the basement near the pipe that goes out to the septic. Key had someone come take a look at it and quickly identified the problem. A few weeks later, the team should up and fixed the problem in about 3 hours. The works included - resealing around the pipe and installing a waterproof membrane on the water below it."
"TPK LLC did an amazing job unclogging my kitchen drain. They were professional, quick, and got everything flowing perfectly again. Great communication, fair pricing, and excellent service. Highly recommend!"
"First of all I requested quotes from 3 different plumbers to replace a water heater and install a pressure reducing valve. Todd was very professional, honest and very reasonable priced. He did an excellent job and went above and beyond my expectations. He will be my go to from now on. I HIGHLY recommend him to anybody looking for quality work at a great price."
"We hired Loudon Mechanical to install Daikin mini-splits in our home. The quote was reasonable. Each person in their crew was courteous, prompt, and efficient.

"Duke's was the only company that responded to my request on Angie's List. Ben emailed me promptly and responded to all my questions. He easily coordinated with a third person who I arranged to be home at the time of removal. Removal was quick and efficient while being careful not to damage anything during the process. Cost was a little higher than I hoped but then again I did have almost 2 decades of accumulated junk (dump truck full) to remove. Very happy all that junk is gone.."

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.
Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.
Your dishwasher drain hose may have a clog if your dishwasher is full of water, your dishes aren’t getting cleaned, or water takes a long time to discharge into the garbage disposal.
There are several homemade solutions for clearing a clogged sink that don’t involve pouring harsh chemicals down your drain. Start by pouring hot (but not boiling) water down the drain. This can help dissolve and flush away grease and gunk. A splash of dish soap down the drain can also cut through fat and make it easier to clear the drain. For a more stubborn blockage, grab a plunger and give it a few firm pumps to dislodge the clog.
It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.
