"Not impressed with ARS. Our $12,000 HVAC unit was installed in July of 2019. It is supposed to be the best thing ever, super energy efficient and so on. By November 2019, we are trying to run the heat downstairs but not upstairs but are unable to. A technician comes out and lets us know that the damper motor, the part that allows for this function is broken, and that he will go order the replacement and that I need to call the office over the weekend to schedule a time for them to come back during the upcoming week to install it. On Sunday, I speak with Sherri in Houston who has no interest in helping me schedule a time to repair my broken $12,000 HVAC unit installed less than six months prior, and says "I am ending the call now." I spoke with a manager in Charleston regarding this, he did have Sherri call and apologize, but it was an exceedingly negative experience. Now, August/Sept 2020, the AC is continuously running and is having trouble keeping it at the set temperature when it could previously. This is the second time in just over a year that there has been something wrong with the very expensive HVAC. We called yesterday (08/31/20) and we scheduled a time between 8 am and noon today for a technician to come out. At 11:45, when we still have not heard from them, we call and ask where they are and are told they have emergencies on the schedule but will have a technician out some time this afternoon. So we have had to stay home and wait during their scheduled time, they don't show up, and they don't call us to let us know they are running behind!!! I am happy to make payments on this HVAC unit if it is a good quality machine that will work reliably, but the problem is that it is not reliable. ARS's customer service after making the sale is also pretty unreliable. This is the second time now that I have been essentially told by ARS that the issues with my HVAC unit are not a priority for them. I realllyyyy do not recommend this company. Please shop around when looking to buy an HVAC and READ REVIEWS! We didn't do this in 2019 because our AC went out in July and we needed a replacement ASAP so we went with the first company we found. I regret that very much."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary. 

A sewer cleanout typically looks like a white or gray PVC pipe with a removable cap. It's often located either in your yard or basement, depending on your home's plumbing configuration. The cleanout pipe is designed to provide easy access to your sewer system for maintenance and inspections. It may be flush with the ground or slightly elevated, making it distinguishable from other pipes. When you remove the cap, you can access the sewer line directly or determine its direction, which can be helpful when you need to locate your sewer line from your house to the street.

It is generally safe to stay in a house with sewer gas for a short time, even though short-term exposure is unpleasant. However, prolonged inhalation can cause headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of methane—which is in sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. Ventilate the area and call a pro if you smell sewer gas or experience related health symptoms.

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. 

Even with a high-resolution camera, what you're looking at on the screen may not be recognizable to the untrained eye. Your plumber should be willing to walk you through the video and explain what they found. With high-res images, bright lighting, and self-leveling technology, you should get clear, steady views of the pipes that make up your plumbing system.
