"The owner, Thomas Burke, was great to work with in all respects. To start with he specified concrete that was stronger than what I wanted and this really pleased me. It told me he was willing to go above and beyond my requirements or minimums. He started with grading and removing dirt so he could build a retaining wall to hold back the grade for a new driveway. The guy he sent out worked very hard and did a near perfect job on the new wall. Like any construction project there were a few unknowns but he worked around these problems. Then he poured the new garage addition slab and finished it for me. Unfortunately it started to rain just before the final finish hardened so they had to redo some areas. Didn't come out quite as good after the rain but very acceptable. Then they immediately poured the driveway slab. No new showers so this came out perfectly. The concrete company sent out the second truck too soon so there was not enough time between pours to really get set. I think this second pour therefore did not quite get the grade Tom wanted. The driveway slab was pitched to drain water to match an adjacent existing slab and this did not quite work out. I have a small area on the new drive slab that holds water after a rain. It was a tough job to slope it right and it is within a quarter inch of draining. Like I said they were still grading the driveway when the truck showed up and I really think this cause the slight glitch. I have some more work to do next summer and am really looking forward to having Tom back knowing I will get a good price, a good job, and quick service done right. I would highly recommend ACT Contracting to anyone. "
It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.
It is safe to flush small amounts of bleach down the toilet. Don’t flush more than ¼ cup of bleach. Instead, consider diluting it and pouring it down the sink drain.
Water leaking through your basement floor is a good sign of a clogged drain, but another sign of a clogged basement floor drain can include unpleasant odors coming from the drain. Also, hearing gurgling noises when water drains from the basement or having other plumbing fixtures (like toilets or other drains) backing up is a good indicator.
A washing machine should drain the water used during its cycle through a drainpipe and out through the house’s plumbing. This is the same plumbing that sinks and shower drains run to, and if the U-bend is installed correctly, it shouldn’t smell. The total drainage from the house is then integrated into the city sewer system or, if you’re in the country, dispersed into a septic tank.
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.
