"Monday is a laundry service day for me. I do the laundry every Monday for our missionaries and the pick up in the evening. Half way through the first load my drain back flushed and water was coming out everywhere. I called the service we usually use and they were down two technicians and suggested I call Anthony. They were there within 2 hrs and saved my the day. The service tech was polite and efficient. Thank you Anthony Plumbing."

"My Pro Terry, with Corum did an excellent job. He was clean and efficient. He was very personable and showed concern for my needs. I hired him to put in a gas line for my new stove and shared my concern about the water line for my refrigerator and Terry ended up doing both jobs. And the job was reasonable! I will definitely use Corum for my plumbing needs!"

"John was very helpful and professional. He returned my calls in a reasonable time and was very clear about what his company did, which is camera diagnostics. This is helpful to find the break or clog and not cause extra cost in labor to dig and find the problem. But not only did he do this, he was able to recommend people who could do the actual repair. Since this was my first need for help since I have moved to this area I did not have a plumber in my phone list. He recommended Alton Sewer in Independence, MO. And Josh is amazing...He came and help in what I felt was short time and was very reasonable with the cost."

"had water backing up through my washer drain late one night, and Jacob came over and snaked the drain for me. He was professional, respectful, and reasonably priced. He got the problem taken care of quickly, and I couldn?t be happier with the service. I would definitely recommend Jacob to anyone needing plumbing work!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary. 

There are a few ways to unclog a toilet without a plunger. Break up the clog with homemade solutions containing soap, vinegar, and baking soda, or simply let hot water spend some time in the drain. You can also use a two-liter soda bottle filled with water to push pressurized water into the pipe to dislodge the debris (see the steps above).
