"Jared was very easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable and has excellent background in this business having been a manager of a rooter router business for 10 years prior to starting his own business. He listened carefully to what I told him we did to try to fix the problem before calling him. After he arrived he looked over the house plumbing to further analyze what needed to be done. He then went right to work explaining the main drain cleaning process and the steps he would take in using his cleaning auger machine to accomplish unclogging the line. We could see the positive results and unobstructed water flow in the line as he finished using his machine. I was pleased he have us his card before he left as I would definitely call him in the future if needed."

"Had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday evening. Spoke with Jay that night and he was on site Monday morning. Repaired broken pipe, fixed wall where he cut to access pipe, and even snaked the drain for a VERY reasonable price. They were very personable and entertaining as well. I highly recommend these guys."

"I had an Absolutely Fantastic Experience!! My husband & I were so lucky to have gotten Jason Scharf to come out to our home, he was very insightful, helpful, courteous and very professional. Jason explained step-by-step what he was doing along the way & what would work best within our home with 4 different price ranges that would work for us. Jason was very informative. He mentioned and advised me on some items that would require attention on a monthly basis which I was grateful for. Upon completion, he reviewed the bill and explained any questions that I had. I was very pleased. Overall, Jason’s work was outstanding. I would recommend Jason from Astar to anyone I know that is in need of a central air system in their home. He was one of the kindest, funny and coolest Design Specialists by far. Thanks again Jason you're the Best! We can't wait for everything to be completed."

"BMR had a technician out to my house within a couple of hours of my phone call after another emergency. The tech figured out my clog problem quickly and opened up the drain within about 30 min. He cleaned up the small amount of splashed water afterwards. I was completely happy with the service."

"William and Dominick were very punctual, courteous and professional. I hired them to install a sump, including digging the pit, sump pump, and a backup water powered sump pump. They did their job extremely well and were able to finish the work in 1 day, as promised. Additionally they did extra work for no charge, like changing out my broken water valve, changing my humidifier water feed and cleaned out my basement bathroom grinder pump sump tank. All in all I am very happy with my choice of these guys, and would definitely recommend them and would use them again in the future. I was chatting with Will and I am so glad that he has a long term view of building his business, rather than many small businesses that are in just for the quick buck and not concerned about their reputation and future customers. Many guys will just change their business to a different name and continue with their unsavory practices. Good for you guys Will and Dom, and PLEASE keep up the good work!"

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

There are several signs that can indicate your leach lines are broken, failing, or in need of repair, including puddles of water or a marshy consistency to the ground above or around the pipes, slow drainage or plumbing backups inside your home, and noticeable odors or gurgling sounds coming from your leach field. Keeping your septic system properly maintained, including having your septic tank pumped at regular intervals, can help ensure your leach lines stay in good working order for a long time.

Preventing water accumulation involves regular inspections, maintaining effective drainage systems, ensuring proper roof maintenance, and taking preventive measures against heavy rainfall or floods.

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.

Bleach—even diluted bleach—is not always the safest option for cleaning your drains. With a high pH, bleach can be highly corrosive to many types of pipes, especially when used regularly. When mixed with household cleaners and organic waste, it can also create dangerous chemicals. Remember to use proper protective equipment and ventilation when dealing with bleach.

You may have a clogged gutter. Downspouts can also clog if your gutter collects too much debris. Hire a professional gutter cleaner, and if you still have problems, install a gutter guard (which prevents debris from entering your gutter system) and a downspout extension (which helps drain water further away from your foundation, so it doesn't pool near your house). Follow these tips to keep your gutter downspouts clean.
