"He was very polite to me and my children. He installed 2 shower heads for me and he unclogged one of my bath tubs for me. He was very professional as well. I will definitely call him in the future if I have any more issues. I highly recommend him if you have any plumbing needs. Plus he don't charge an arm and a leg like most companies do."
"SMK plumbing did a great job for me with a whole house water re-plumbing & main water line from the street. The team was efficient, professional, and polite. Job was started and completed in one day. They even moved the whole house shut off and pressure valve to a very easy to get to location."
"Sean and his team did an outstanding job with our backyard hardscape including an amazing waterfall. He guided us through the entire process and explained his next step in great detail. Even with weather related challenges, these guys did not miss a beat. When the irrigation system installers came, he worked with them almost flawlessly and to my satisfaction. I could not be happier."
"AFS took on our helical pier and sump pump installation on our new home and we were offered competitive pricing, efficient communication, and a timely/clean installation. Our sales rep was Ben who was always available and informed, Tanner installed our sump pump system and was equally impressive, and Peyton managed a crew installing our piers who left the jobsite as clean as they found it. I recommend AFS for all your helical pier and sump pump needs!"
"David recently came out for a periodic system inspection and promptly replaced a sump pump exit line valve out in the yard that had been damaged by a lawnmower. we discussed adding a backup to the sump pump, which I decided to do. Matthew was out in just a few days to take care of that installation. Everything went quickly and smoothly. These guys are pros."
"Matt was very responsive to my call and worked me into his schedule. He diagnosed the problem and advised we would have to dig down to the main water line entering the house. He quoted a price for the full job and also gave me a price if I hand dug it myself. I chose the latter and it worked out great. He arrived back the next day and fixed the broken copper pipe. His final cost actually came in LESS than his original quote. Great service and great quality work. Thanks Matt!"
"Perfect! Charlie came immediately, hand dug down 4' to the tank, and pumped. Inlet was full of roots, which he cleared and told us how to avoid that problem in the future. Came back a few days later and installed riser on tank lid so that digging would not be necessary. have used several service companies in the past and there's none better. He returned and did 3 more for us as a preventive measure. If he's available, we won't use anyone else!"
"Spoke with Mike the owner in the morning about issue, Drew came out same day and used snake to unclog drain. Very efficient and courteous, reasonable price for 2 hours of work. Very conscious about keeping everything clean as he used snake to clean drain. Will definitely use again and highly recommend. Thank you so much for your help fixing problem."
Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts
If your dishwasher keeps filling with water at the bottom but doesn’t fill into the sink, the issue is likely due to a blockage within the dishwasher or drain. Regularly clean your dishwasher filter basket to ensure it’s not clogged with food, and run a vinegar rinse periodically if you have hard water to remove limescale buildup.
Chemical drain cleaners can work to clear clogs in pipes, but their use should be approached with caution. These harsh chemicals can damage pipes over time, and they can also harm the environment. Use them sparingly and consider alternative methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. If you have concerns about a persistent clog, it's best to consult a professional who can safely and effectively address the issue without causing further damage to your plumbing system.
Yes, you can use vinegar to unclog a dishwasher. To do so, combine 4 tablespoons of white vinegar with 4 tablespoons of baking soda and pour the mixture down your dishwasher’s drain. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then pour a cup of hot water down the drain to flush everything out. Finally, run a rinse cycle on your dishwasher to see if the clog is gone.
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.
In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.
