Do leach field additives work?

• <div><p>Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the <a href="https://www.epa.gov/septic/frequent-questions-septic-systems">U.S. Environmental Protection Agency</a>, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you leave the drain cleaner for too long?

• <div><p>If you leave liquid drain cleaner for too long, it will start breaking down your drainpipes. The chemicals in these cleaners can cause cracks, corrosion, and leaks in your pipes. They can also damage plumbing fixtures and even cause environmental damage if left too long without rinsing away.</p></div>

Q: Why does my crawl space smell like a sewer?

• <div><p>A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor. </p></div>

Q: Is a clogged sewer line covered by insurance?

• <div><p>A clogged sewer line is not typically covered by homeowner&rsquo;s insurance, though some sewer line issues are covered. For instance, damage related to a fallen tree is usually covered. Though sewer line replacement is not covered in a standard insurance policy, some companies offer add-ons for this purpose. Read the fine print before spending your own money.</p></div>

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>

It was kind of pricey but it was easier than driving 600 miles to do it myself. If there were any questions that need to be asked they did not hesitate to call. They did communicate with me very well. Cashiers check had to be sent next day delivery.

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."
