"Preston is a miracle worker. We were having some mysterious issues with our toilet and shower drains in one the bathrooms in our home in Lincoln. Preston came over and performed a very thorough "investigation" and provided a couple of options to rectify our situation. He performed the work and everything has been flowing flawlessly ever since. We're going to definitely stick with Preston and Neighborhood Drains for all of our future sewer related needs.
Give him a call. You definitely won't be disappointed."
"Showed up on time. Courteous. Professional. Cleaned up after himself. Fair price. Job was done quickly. Couldn’t ask for anything more than that! Would hire again."
"Thomas and Tyler installed a sump pump in our house and did an excellent job. Both Thomas and Tyler were very professional, prompt, efficient, and neat. Everything was shown and explained to me in detail. Would definitely hire them again."
"I was experience a sewer back up in my basement, the tech came within an hour. Extremely professional, knew exactly what he was doing. Cleared the line and showed me a bunch of roots, explained he could use high pressure water to get em out, I called roto rooter two years ago and they didn?t even mention the possibility of that, they told me it would be 14k to dig it. I gave the guy the okay to clear the line out with water, and I can?t believe he got the line looking brand new. Professional, affordable, left the place cleaner than when they came, would 100% recommend them."
"Excellent professional men. Did everything I asked in a timely manner. Cleaned up after the the job everyday. I would highly recommend this company. I would hire them again."
"Jacob was responsive, efficient and thorough. He was an excellent communicator and make the process seamless in a stressful situation. I would highly recommend his services. I call him for all of my plumbing needs. Thanks Jacob for the great service!"
"TPK LLC did an amazing job unclogging my kitchen drain. They were professional, quick, and got everything flowing perfectly again. Great communication, fair pricing, and excellent service. Highly recommend!"
"Fast service, polite team. Came to our business and got us back up and operational in only a few hours from our call. Kept our office clean and showed us the issue. Reasonable pricing seemed like a family owned business and wasn’t like dealing with one of the big nationwide company’s, which was a huge relief."
Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.
This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.
Water leaking through your basement floor is a good sign of a clogged drain, but another sign of a clogged basement floor drain can include unpleasant odors coming from the drain. Also, hearing gurgling noises when water drains from the basement or having other plumbing fixtures (like toilets or other drains) backing up is a good indicator.
Avoid flushing non-degradable items, schedule regular inspections, and address minor clogs promptly.
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.
