"LJ was Very very helpful. Not like calling the larger companies where you get an operator who just makes an appointment or takes a message. My basement drain by the furnace was clogged & backing up. He gave me some basic tips to help troubleshoot & figure out what was likely going on. I probably fixed it myself after that but I still had him out to clean out the drain because we were going out of town the next day & I didn't want to take any chances. Good guy & I am grateful I connected with him."

"Very smoothly. He confirmed my suspicions that the garbage disposal had quit working and was now clogging the drain. He was up-front about the costs and, although it seemed a little high, his work was efficient and he left the area clean and neat. He was even professional about social distancing in this age of pandemics."

"Kc Flow Heroes replaced my sewer main after I had tree roots and old rusted out cast iron pipe. They were honest and the work was done quickly. Very clean and courteous. They used a technique called pipe lining and didnt even dig up my yard simply put a hole in the basement lined the sewer all the way to the city main. Thank you Kc Flow Heroes!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.

It is not advisable to use drain cleaner in a washing machine. Drain cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can damage the internal components of your washer, including rubber seals, hoses, and even the drum. These chemicals can also react with any residual detergent or fabric softener, potentially leading to noxious fumes. If your washing machine is experiencing drainage issues, it's best to address the problem directly by inspecting and cleaning the lint filter, checking for clogs in the drain hose, or seeking professional repair services. Using drain cleaner in a washing machine is a risky solution that can cause more harm than good.
