"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 you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

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.

If you’re wondering whether rats can come up the toilet, the unfortunate answer is yes, it’s possible, though it’s extremely rare. These rodents are excellent swimmers and can travel through sewer pipes in search of food, and they may follow plumbing lines leading to your home if they’re drawn by the scent of scraps and waste. The toilet’s U-bend holds a small pocket of air, which can help a rat catch its breath before making its final push into your bathroom. While more common in cities with larger rat populations, this can happen anywhere with connected sewer systems; sealing entry points and keeping drains clean can help reduce the risk.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.
