"Services: Unclog drain, Repair toilet, Repair pipe. // Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness // Haines was recommended to me saying they were good at their job. I called them Monday, Feb 15th about a clogged drain, they came out Tues Feb 16th at the time I was told they would be there, which was great! They were there from 3:30 pm to 6:50 pm. Some repairs had to be made to the laundry tub drain and my toilet had to be lifted so they could access that portion of the drain. After the toilet was replaced, the shut-off valve leaked, so I asked them to replace that also. The work that was done created quite a mess... BUT, when they were finished you would never know that. Everything was cleaned up so well and disinfected, it looked nice and smelled nice. The workmen were very professional and knowledgeable about their job. I will add this company to my contacts as a reliable source for repairs."

"Bryan and his team were able to complete my water heater replacement with timing that met my needs, and high quality work. They also changed out two valves that were leaking on a connected water line for me (for an additional charge). Pelkey Services work was efficient, clean, and met my expectations. I would work with them again, and recommend them."

"We previously had secured the services of this company to install a sump pump and then a back-up sump when conditions warranted. We met with Joe DiTrapani, Jr who immediately impressed us with his promptness, phone updates and communication, knowledge and his professionalism. He did what he had promised in a minimum of intrusion to our family, and at the price he quoted. Recently we encountered a plumbing problem where our kitchen sinks were plugged causing back-ups and the inability to use the sinks without waiting for the clog to subside. We decided to call this firm again. The set up an appointment for the next day for between 1-3:00PM. Approximately 11:30AM I received a call from Joseph DiTrapani Sr, who indicated that they had gotten a previous job completed earlier and would it be an imposition to our schedule to come a bit earlier. We agreed yes and at the appointed time he and his apprentice Adam showed up ready to work. First thing we noticed was their respect for our home as they donned cloth slippers over their shoes. They then discussed with us the symptoms we had encountered. Although this was primarily the kitchen sinks and disposal, they also thoroughly checked the plumbing in the rest of the house for any indication of current or future problems. When satisfied none existed, they expedited the repairs to the kitchen sinks. Once again they respected our home by bringing in tarps, towels, and buckets to prevent any water damage to our cabinets and home. In what seemed like only minutes (but in reality longer) the clogs were cleared, the drains working properly, and the area cleaned. It should be noted that I had already cleaned the traps and done things a laymen normally would, however we observed that the clog was rather extensive farther down in the system, and something we would not have been able to ascertain. Their expertise identified this area expeditiously. When it came to payment, the charge was exactly as quoted and even though we thought they deserved more for that "extra mile" they provided, Mr. Joseph DiTrapani Sr declined our offer. This firm reminds me of the companies of my childhood in the 50's and 60's. They are professional, courteous, knowledgeable and above all else a company where their word is their bond. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Because of our repeated experiences with them, we have no problem considering them now our family plumbers"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

The cost varies from $150 to $600, depending on the severity of the clog, pipe access, and required equipment.

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain

To keep your toilet from clogging, you can use less toilet paper. You can also use a liquid toilet plunger to break up any clogs and keep the toilet drain and pipes clear. When it comes to a clogged toilet, the best route is prevention by using less toilet paper and making sure the mechanisms are all working properly.
