"Kevin and his crew showed up on time and solved all my issues with plumbing for a 28 year old condo. He removed and installed a new 40 gal. hot water heater, fixed a drippy faucet, and installed and removed a new bathroom sink. Service was excellent. On time and great for my pocket book. Excellent job and will recommend to all of my friends and co-workers. Awesome!"

"Two guys showed up, and got everything done. They took the time to explain some other issues I may experience, and suggested the repairs for those issues. I will be having them back to do some more clean-up and correction work on 40 year old plumbing."

"Joey came out to look at our old leaky toilet for my grandmothers house. He recommended to replace the toilet which we are very happy with. He inspected the plumbing in the basement also to make sure it was just the toilet and not any other pipes. Would highly recommend them and will use them again in the future."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Lifesaver and a True Professional – Mark is the Only Plumber We’ll Ever Call We can’t say enough great things about Prodigy plumbing and the incredible owner, Mark. Right after moving into our very first home, we faced a massive plumbing emergency that left us overwhelmed and panicked. Another company quoted us over $18,000—something that felt impossible for us to handle, especially during such a stressful time. That’s when Mark came along & saved our lives. Not only did he show up quickly and assess the situation with honesty and care, but he went above and beyond to help us out of the goodness of his heart. He was personable, professional, and most importantly, trustworthy. You could feel that he genuinely cared about helping us, not just making a profit. Mark did the work efficiently, thoroughly, and at a fraction of the price we were originally quoted. Thanks to him, our home is now safe and functioning properly, and we’ll never use anyone else for plumbing again."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

A sewer line should be cleaned at least once every 18 to 22 months. The process takes about 30 minutes or up to 5 hours, depending on the size of the line, how easy it is to access, and how long it’s been since the previous cleaning. If your sewer line hasn’t been cleaned in a couple of years or you don’t even know the last time it’s been cleaned, it’s time to call a pro.

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

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.
