Q: What maintenance extends the lifespan of plumbing features?

• <div><p>Check connections, clean fixtures, and apply finishing or protective coatings to preserve months' worth of shine and functionality.</p></div>

Q: Are there alternative solutions for clearing a clog?

• <div><p>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-non-chemical-solutions-clearing-clog.htm">homemade solutions for clearing a clogged sink</a> that don&rsquo;t involve pouring harsh chemicals down your drain. Start by pouring hot (but not boiling) water down the drain. This can help dissolve and flush away grease and gunk. A splash of dish soap down the drain can also cut through fat and make it easier to clear the drain. For a more stubborn blockage, grab a plunger and give it a few firm pumps to dislodge the clog.</p></div>

Q: Can I use metal detectors to find my sewer line?

• <div><p>No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.</p></div>

Q: Could the sewage smell be coming from my floor drain?

• <div><p>Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to unclog a main sewer line?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;ll take <b>20 to 30 minutes</b> to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they&rsquo;ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.</p></div>
