"Services: Unclog drain, Repair toilet, Repair pipe. // Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness // Haines was recommended to me saying they were good at their job. I called them Monday, Feb 15th about a clogged drain, they came out Tues Feb 16th at the time I was told they would be there, which was great! They were there from 3:30 pm to 6:50 pm. Some repairs had to be made to the laundry tub drain and my toilet had to be lifted so they could access that portion of the drain. After the toilet was replaced, the shut-off valve leaked, so I asked them to replace that also. The work that was done created quite a mess... BUT, when they were finished you would never know that. Everything was cleaned up so well and disinfected, it looked nice and smelled nice. The workmen were very professional and knowledgeable about their job. I will add this company to my contacts as a reliable source for repairs."
"They were fast to respond, came in and gave a free estimate quickly. Quoted me a few repairs including a broken drain in my bathroom and a leaky faucet in my laundry room, got them schedule to come and make the repairs withing the same week and they did a great job. I would use them again."
"Excellent company, they were on time very friendly and polite. They replaced my hot water tank in less than 2 hrs outside in 20 deg weather. Pricing was great. They cleaned everything up and made sure everything was working. I will definitely use them again. Im very pleased."
"Edgar does quality work for a fair price. He helped us select the correct fixtures, replaced a drain pipe, and replaced some lower quality pipes with copper. Iâ m having him back for a more substantial bathroom remodel. I highly recommend him."

Graphic Designer by day, handyman by night (and weekends)! That's me, Roland Lewis. While I turned my lifelong passion for building, tinkering and a pursuit for knowledge into a career making digital things as a graphic designer, I noticed there was something missing. It was time to get my hands dirty again, and put all that knowledge I built up tinkering with things in the real world (repairing structures and plumbing, unclogging pipes, building furniture, painting walls, installing flooring, changing car oil, mounting TVs and other things to walls, etc.) to use helping more than just my friends and family when they needed a hand.

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.
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.
Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.
An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a DIY drain cleaner with baking soda. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear.
If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.
