"In the 8 months we've lived in our house, we've had 4 plumbers over the course of 10 visits or so and had spent over $1,200 in plumbing fees for people to give us a temporary fix and move on their way. No one could diagnose the source of all the issues we were having. And the issue kept coming back. Home Advisor put us in touch with Chris Roeder and on their FIRST visit, they were able to diagnose the problem and immediately put us on their schedule to get it fixed. We are now up and running with no plumbing issues. Chris and his crew were very courteous, always showed up on time, and explained to us all of the issues they were finding and what needed to be done to fix it. They did an excellent job and we will definitely be using them in the future."
"The project was top notch. Not only did they consistently show up on time, but they finished the project early and were willing to reschedule the final walkthrough multiple times to accommodate our schedule. Final project turned out great!"
"Stanley came out and took time to thoroughly inspect our foundation and proposed a solution to level the floors and waterproof the crawl space. Really appreciated his thorough service and clear advice."
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.
Costs vary by severity and access requirements. Typical pricing ranges from $100 to $350, increasing with complexity or for emergency services.
Biodegradable drain cleaners use naturally derived ingredients, such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water, which bacteria and other microbes can break down. Unlike conventional cleaners that rely on corrosive bleach (sodium hydroxide), biodegradable options are gentler on fixtures and less harmful to the environment. Because they don't release harmful gasses, they are also safer to use, especially in households with children, and do not require the same safety precautions as bleach-based products.
Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.
A saturated leach field can result from various underlying issues, so it's best to call a professional septic company to diagnose and treat the problem. Depending on the cause of the saturation, potential fixes include pumping out a full septic tank, adding more bacteria to the tank, or regrading the soil to fix low spots. It may also be necessary to reroute rainwater and runoff away from the leach field using gutters, downspouts, and extenders. Once the primary issue is resolved, planting specific types of vegetation over the area can help absorb excess water. In more severe cases, you might need to install a larger septic tank or replace the leach field entirely.
