"Excellent customer service. Needed a special size HWH to fit the space and Justin was able to find one and install in under 2 hrs. Competitive pricing, all inclusive whereas several quotes from competitors did not include drip pan or other parts. Clean up was immaculate. Definitely recommend."

"After several calls back and forth concerning diagnosis and estimate of the job. The calls dropped off because of scheduling and I never got the estimate. I thought they were reputable, friendly and really don't know what happened. I would try to connect with them again in the future and see if we could close the deal."

"Tim is a good communicator, keeping me updated as per his time of arrival. He arrived on time, respected our home by placing protective coverings over his boots without being asked. Performed tests to replicate and confirm the problems I stated and snaked the upstairs drain through the shower to clear the obstruction. His pricing is on the higher side curve for these services although we were very satisfied with the service provided. I would recommend and refer Tim Campbell to others."

"We hired this service to wash our 2600 sq ft beach home after a hurricane. Brandon was prompt and professional. He worked non-stop for 4 hours. He did the job on short notice in order to accommodate our schedule. Our house and windows are nice and clean, and Brandon even scrubbed our driveway. We would definitely have him back again. And we are going to spread the word among our neighbors at the beach."

"John was recommended to us last year by a neighbor who had his bathroom completely re-done.  He was very happy with John's work, so we called John about a leak in our kitchen.  It was a roof vent that had been damaged during a storm.  John replaced it and the leak was no more.  After that, raccoons and squirrels damaged the screening on our porch.  John came over and replaced the screening and some of the wood that had seen better days.  The job was very well done, and no creature has been able to break through the new screen.  After that was complete, we asked John if he could replace the siding on the shed.  Then he pressure washed the house and screen porch.  All of the jobs were thoroughly done with a minimum of mess.  John cleaned up his work area every evening after he had finished for the day.  John is a very ethical, professional man, and I will continue to ask him to work for me.  I recommend him highly to any person who wishes to engage his services.  By the way, I expect that the shed will still be standing and in terrific shape many, many years from now.  The work is of excellent quality!

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

You’ll need to stop or pause the machine using its control panel to start the draining process mid-cycle. Remove the items inside, turn off the power to the machine, and then follow the steps above to drain the machine manually.

Even if the shower drain doesn’t seem clogged or dirty, plan to clean it out about once per month—or more frequently if you or your family shed a lot of hair. It’s a good practice to remove any hair from the drain on a daily basis, as hair can accumulate fast and cause clogs in no time. You may also want to have a plumber thoroughly clean the drains in your home once every six months.

Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.

There are a few reasons your snake won’t go down the floor drain. One common reason is a large obstruction in the drain that is causing a blockage. You can remove any debris you see in the drain before trying to snake it. In addition, the snake might not be long enough to reach the clog, or it might be the wrong diameter. 

No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.
