Drain Cleaning Specialists & Plumbing Contractors Drain Master, your family-owned and operated plumbing company in Columbus, OH, has licensed plumbing contractors and certified drain cleaning specialists ready for your call! Whether you are a homeowner or commercial property owner, we have all had clogged drains, leaks or flooding. As we are local to the Columbus metro area, our team of qualified plumbers are more than a little acquainted with the plumbing structure of Columbus. Our professional plumbing technicians are prepared day and night to provide the citizens of Columbus and many of its surrounding cities and towns with the best and most accurate plumbing solutions available! Service Repair With the assistance of a plumber from our team at Drain Master plumbing company in Columbus, OH, you are provided full service for your pipes and drains of either your home or business. We service every drain in your home and will inspect them on a service call to be sure they are all functioning properly. At Drain Master, our plumbers carry the best tools and combine them with their rigorous training in order to guarantee a full range of drain repair andcleaning services. Each drain in your home performs a similar duty but requires specific, unique care because of what each drain is used for. For example, the kitchen sink drain is exposed to not only water or used water, but grease, food waste, and soap which can get caught or build up in the pipes. This build up causes water to drain slower over time. Bathtub and shower drains are exposed to more hair, soap, and contaminants which become trapped within the drain pipes and become massive clogs. These drains frequently require the most cleaning and repair services. Bathroom sink drains deal with soap, contaminants and grime, and substances as thick as toothpaste, which behaves not unlike cement when it dries. Toilet drains become quickly clogged by any combination of substances which cannot or will not disintegrate in water. This can include baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, facial tissues and paper towels. Emergency Plumbing Services When home plumbing begins to break down, our stomachs fill with dread and we begin to panic about who to call. You can easily skip those steps though! Call the emergency plumbing line of Drain Master, the Columbus, OH plumbing company you can count on. Our licensed plumbing contractors will diagnose why you’ve taken on flooding, why your toilet has backed up, what has caused the burst pipes or broke water lines. We provide full repair and replacement services on the same short notice you were given that you needed these services done! Your plumbing system needs to reliably function to safely deliver clean water into your home and correctly flow the used water away from it. When this simple process is interrupted, it can mean a lot of trouble for you, your pets and family, your property, or your employees. At Drain Master in Columbus, OH, our plumbing company provides the plumbing solutions you need by qualified plumbing contractors you can depend on. Our licensed plumbers provide Columbus, Ohio and much of its surrounding area with plumbing emergency services for commercial and residential customers alike. Our trained plumbing technicians are familiar with every type of industrial, office, commercial and household plumbing systems.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Good news: You’ll naturally increase the bacteria in your septic tank simply by using it. If you want to encourage more good bacteria growth, stop using products and household cleaners that kill bacteria, such as bleach and harsh chemicals. Never flush antibiotics, and make sure only water and waste go down the tube—not paper products, feminine hygiene products, or diapers.

Yes, shower water does go into the septic tank. In fact, all the water you use in your home goes into the septic tank. This includes water from sinks, the dishwasher, the washing machine, and toilets. This water is called greywater. It’s important never to put oil or harsh chemicals down any drain because they could cause a clog in your septic system or even disrupt the natural bacteria needed for wastewater management. 

Your toilet will still flush if the septic tank is full, but it might flush more slowly. It may make gurgling sounds as the wastewater slowly drains through the pipes. You may also notice the toilet clogs up more frequently when the septic tank is full, although this can also be a sign of other plumbing issues, like a clog in the pipes.

Wells vary widely when it comes to lifespan, and there isn’t a way to exactly predict how long a well may last. Some wells can last well beyond 100 years, but they more commonly last between 25 and 50 years. Performing regular maintenance, such as replacing worn valves, can help prolong the life of your well.

With so much available information about the ecological effects of cesspools (and their general unpleasantness), it begs the question: Are cesspools legal? In short, sort of. Large-capacity cesspools that serve more than 20 people are completely illegal countrywide. Existing, smaller cesspools are generally allowed as long as they’re not actively polluting. However, new cesspools are illegal to build in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and many states offer programs to help homeowners with the costs of updating cesspools to modern septic systems.
