He was very clean and professional in this project and we have confidence that he not only knew what he was doing but repaired the line, cleaned up the area and billed us for the amount we agreed upon prior to the work being completed."

"We had a broken clay main drain pipe under our concrete driveway. The team was able to find it, dig it up, replace it, and patch the concrete. Our drains are flowing fast and clean now. It was no small job, but the team persisted until it was resolved. We will use this company again if other drain issues occur."

"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."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.

The best way to unclog a bathtub drain is to pour a pot of boiled water down the drain, being careful not to splash yourself. However, take precautions, as boiling water can damage PVC pipes and joints. Follow up with ½ cup of baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a small sink plunger and let it sit for 15 minutes. Pour boiling water down the drain again and replace the drain stopper.

Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners, avoid pouring grease down the drain, and check for leaks under the sink.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

Several signs can tip you off to a clogged dishwasher drain. At first, you may notice that it’s taking longer than usual for the dishwasher to drain, or you may hear gurgling sounds during the draining part of the cycle. You might also notice water backing up into your sink or excess food at the bottom of the dishwasher after a load. The most obvious sign, though, is seeing standing water at the bottom of your dishwasher after the cycle has finished.
