"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

Yes, frozen pipes can prevent a toilet from working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which means your toilet tank won't be able to refill after a flush. This will prevent the toilet from flushing again. Depending on which lines are frozen, the ice can also block the drain pipe, preventing water from flushing away.

As a temporary workaround, you can manually add water to the tank for each flush. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try filling the toilet bowl or tank with warm water and flushing to help thaw the ice. However, the best long-term solution is to unfreeze the pipes to get your toilet back in working order.

No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.

You’ll likely pay between $300 and $450 to unclog your toilet with Roto-Rooter. However, the price could change depending on if the clog has caused a lot of damage, which your plumbing pro will want to inspect during your service appointment. Keep in mind that you won’t get a quote from Roto-Rooter over the phone. They have to send a pro out for an in-person cost estimate. You can also attempt to snake your own clog for a lot less, and simple drain snakes cost no more than $50.

If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.

No. You should dispose of all oil-based finishing products through a local hazardous waste program. Not only can oil-based finishes be hazardous for the environment if disposed of in the sink, but they can cause clogs in your pipes and stop up your drains. Most municipal garbage or waste disposal companies have a specific location or pick-up schedule for hazardous materials, so that’s your best bet to get rid of excess finishing products.
