How long does it take for flushable wipes to break down?

• <div><p>Some flushable wipes companies say they are designed to disintegrate within a few hours to a few days after being flushed. These wipes allegedly use materials that are more water-soluble than traditional wipes. However, many experts have raised concerns that even so-called "flushable" wipes do not break down as easily as claimed and can contribute to clogs and blockages in sewer systems.</p><p>To prevent plumbing and sewer problems, avoid flushing wipes, even those labeled as flushable. Instead, dispose of them in the trash. This can help prevent costly plumbing issues and reduce the strain on wastewater treatment systems.</p></div>

Q: Could the sewage smell be coming from my floor drain?

• <div><p>Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.</p></div>

Q: How likely is it to find a rat in your toilet?

• <div><p>Thankfully, it&rsquo;s pretty rare to find a rat in your toilet. It&rsquo;s more likely in larger cities with big sewer systems that can be feeding grounds for rats, but even then, you still shouldn&rsquo;t fret. </p><p>&ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t worry too much about rats coming up through the sewers,&rdquo; Bradshaw says. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d say only one out of a thousand rodent customers we get actually have this problem. And of the 20 or some customers that have had this happen, they&rsquo;ve all only had just one rat come up this way.&rdquo;</p></div>

Q: How do you avoid future clogs?

• <div><p>Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you&rsquo;ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.</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>

Nothing but great things! I have three kids, so naturally cleaning gets behind me. I asked for a deep clean and my house has never been cleaner, honestly. I will 100% be using this company time and time again along with telling all my friends and family about them!

José and his crew were amazing and did such a beautiful job! They revamped flower beds, installed drain lines, built an island bed, and dug a burn pit for us. They worked nonstop and did a wonderful clean-up at the end. We will most definitely use them again!

I called Boothe Electric. They called me back within 30 minutes and came out in another 30 minutes to trouble shoot an electrical problem with my sewer pump. It turned out to just be a tripped breaker. Service was professional and prompt!

"At first the company seemed super helpful. Eric was always pleasant and seemed to be supporting us. HOWEVER, they told us that they were dealing directly with insurance and that we wouldn't need to worry about anything. Therefore no costs, no options, no explanations of services were ever given to us. When the bill came back higher than insurance would cover they assured us that Joyce was the best in the business and would get it taken care of for us. the gap ended up being $3000 out of our pocket and as far as I can tell, no genuine effort was made to come to an agreement because we would have to pay it anyway. They were not actually working for us. In addition, the whole process was frustrating because appointments were made with us, where we canceled plans and they never showed or called. They removed equipment before it was dry and then covered themselves by putting it back in. At the end of the day our house is dry as is our bank account. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!"
