Q: How long does descaling a sewer line last?

• <div><p>Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of<b> 50 years</b>, although there&rsquo;s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust&mdash;leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to unclog a drain or sewer line?

• <div><p>The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.</p><p>For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to unclog a drain?

• <div><p>You can try several easy methods to unclog a drain, one of the easiest and most effective of which is to use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. This will help dislodge and dissolve the clog to move it down the drain pipes. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Dump several cups of boiling water (or hot water if you have PVC pipes) into the drain and let sit for up to one hour. Run hot water to clear the drain.</p></div>

Q: What tools are used for sewer clearing?

• <div><p>Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.</p></div>

Q: Does flushing a clogged toilet make it worse?

• <div><p>Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow&mdash;leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber&rsquo;s snake to dislodge the clog. </p></div>

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"The only issue was it took them quite a while to get everything ready and then to get the job scheduled as they seem to be very good at what they do and have a backlog. It was about 10 weeks from the initial contact, until they were able to start the work. Once they started, they moved very quickly correcting the issues and completed the foundation work within a week. They also did an incredible job cleaning up behind themselves and you would never know they were there."
