He explained the situation clearly and outlined the necessary steps to resolve the clog. Despite the complexity of the issue, Jesse worked efficiently and effectively to restore normal function. I appreciated his transparency regarding the costs and the absence of any unexpected fees. Jesse not only resolved the issue promptly but also ensured minimal disruption to our daily activities.

"The servicemen from L&P Plumbing and Heating arrived 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time. They were courteous and helpful. They explained what they were going to do and worked quickly and efficiently. They snaked over twenty feet into the drain to clear the cement that lodged in the drain when our steps were renovated. The call was an urgent one as severe rain was expected and we had already experienced flooding in our laundry room once. L & P restored my piece of mind and I am grateful!"

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

If you've discovered a rather frightening buildup of brown and black gunk below your shower cover, you're not alone. The smelly sludge is often a collection of mildew and biofilm. Biofilm comes from the breakdown of soap scum, hair, skin cells, and bacteria that collects during shower time. It's quite common in a humid space and relatively easy to clean with a gentle DIY cleaning solution such as baking soda and vinegar.

Yes, drains are one common entry point for water bugs. However, water bugs may enter your home through various locations including doors, windows, pipes, and vents. Water bugs are drawn to the dark and moist atmosphere drains provide, and can easily find their way into your home through sewer drain pipes. You can stop water bugs from entering through drains by regularly cleaning your drains and repairing faulty drainage systems.

No. You should never pour old paint down a drain or sewer because it can clog pipes and pollute the environment. You must dispose of paint properly and safely. Different types of paint need to be disposed of in different ways—oil-based paints must be taken to a paint recycling center, while you can throw dried-out water- or latex-based paints in the garbage. 

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.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.
