We demoed our bathroom and docs recycling management came in and cleaned it all up and hauled it away for us. They were very respectful and I would recommend them to anyone else that needs junk and debris hauled.

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Flushing the toilet only to realize it’s clogged can cause anxiety. To avoid a clogged toilet, use less toilet paper. If you notice that the toilet is flushing and refilling slower than usual, you can use a plunger to clear clogs in the S-trap. If that doesn’t work, call a plumber to check your system and possibly clear the drain lines.

The frequency with which a French drain clogs depends on various factors, such as the amount of debris that enters the pipe, the quality of the French drain installation, the type of grate and filter used, and how often it is maintained. That’s why it’s recommended to clean your French drain at least once a year, whether it is clogged or not. This can prevent clogs and increase the lifespan of your drain.

Professionals use snakes, hydrojetting, or chemical cleaners to clear blockages effectively without damaging pipes.

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.
