"Granite State Sewer called me the next morning and had a technician out within two hours. He explained everything he did and was courteous and knowledgeable. The price was very fair, and I would use them again and will recommend to others."
"We reached out to Matt regarding a leak in our downstairs bathroom and issues with the drain. It was a bit difficult to find someone willing to squeeze us in on short notice but he worked with us and stopped by the very next day. Not only did he resolve the issue but he also replaced our dated cast iron tub which we had been wanting to do since purchasing the home. He works very efficiently while also paying close attention to the smallest detail and making sure to address all questions and concerns. I would %100 recommend his work without hesitation."
"Joe is highly recommended. Very knowledgeable, great service and left everything neat and clean. I would not hesitate to hire him again for my plumbing projects."
"Gage is as professional as they come! He works efficiently, his rates are great and he left the site clean, clearing out any debris lying around. I am actually having him back today to do some other plumbing for me. When you find a professional that works above and beyond you keep them knowing that all your future jobs will be handled thoroughly and correctly. In my opinion Gage is 2nd to none. He is a keeper!"
"The company name is certainly an understatement. Great job. Very accommodating and conscientious. Will certainly use Stephen again for any plumbing needs."
No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.
Keep your egress window from flooding by ensuring that the drainage system in the window well is clear and in good working condition. Inspect the window well every few months to remove any blockages and test the drainage system. It’s better to discover potential problems before your window well fills with water during heavy rain.
In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.
To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you’ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink.
Professionals use snakes, hydrojetting, or chemical cleaners to clear blockages effectively without damaging pipes.
