Q: What is the difference between a one-way cleanout and a two-way cleanout?

• <div><p>With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they&rsquo;re usually U-shaped).</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean a shower drain?

• <div><p>Even if the shower drain doesn&rsquo;t seem clogged or dirty, plan to clean it out about once per month&mdash;or more frequently if you or your family shed a lot of hair. It&rsquo;s a good practice to remove any hair from the drain on a daily basis, as hair can accumulate fast and cause clogs in no time. You may also want to have a plumber thoroughly clean the drains in your home once every six months.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean a drain without removing the stopper?

• <div><p>If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:</p><ul><li><p>Pour &frac12; cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel</p></li><li><p>Pour 1 &frac12; cups vinegar into the drain</p></li><li><p>Close the sink stopper for 15&ndash;20 minutes</p></li><li><p>Open the drain</p></li><li><p>Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)</p></li></ul><p>If the drain isn&rsquo;t unclogged, repeat the process.</p></div>

Q: Can you damage a drain with a snake?

• <div><p>In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it&rsquo;s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you&rsquo;re snaking a toilet drain. If you&rsquo;re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.</p></div>

Q: What can I put in my toilet to keep it from clogging?

• <div><p>To keep your toilet from clogging, you can use less toilet paper. You can also use a liquid toilet plunger to break up any clogs and keep the toilet drain and pipes clear. When it comes to a clogged toilet, the best route is prevention by using less toilet paper and making sure the mechanisms are all working properly.</p></div>

"James and Jaime arrived at my residence with a professional and friendly demeanor. Their first impressions was consistent from start to finish. Upon there arrival they quickly assessed the work to be done and began replacing my old water softener with a new one. After completing the plumbing reconfiguration, James and Jaime gave me a tutorial to program the new water softener. When the work was completed, the two gentlemen picked the trash and carried away my old water softener. The cost for services was reasonable and the office will work with you on any questions regarding reasonable cost adjustments. I would use Aaron and Hager Plumbing (new business name soon to be "Eager Plumbing") for future plumbing needs."

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel
Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain
Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes
Open the drain
Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.
