Will drain cleaner clear a clogged sewer line?

• <div><p>In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.</p></div>

Q: How do you adjust the mixing valve on a shower?

• <div><p>You can adjust the mixing valve on your shower if it uses a single handle to control both hot and cold water by removing the handle and adjusting the cap on the mixing valve. The cap fits over the valve handle and creates a low and high point for your handle to spin. Remove the cap and turn it to adjust how it mixes hot and cold water, and then replace the cap and reinstall the handle.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to unclog a drain?

• <div><p>You can try several easy methods to unclog a drain, one of the easiest and most effective of which is to use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. This will help dislodge and dissolve the clog to move it down the drain pipes. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Dump several cups of boiling water (or hot water if you have PVC pipes) into the drain and let sit for up to one hour. Run hot water to clear the drain.</p></div>

Q: Why does my dishwasher water come up into the sink?

• <div><p>When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-avoid-dishwasher-repair.htm">dishwasher maintenance tips</a> like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.</p></div>

Q: Why does the toilet make a high-pitched noise after flushing?

• <div><p>A high pitch noise after flushing is likely caused by the fill valve being clogged with debris. You can repair this and eliminate the noise by removing the fill valve from the tank, and then cleaning the valve screen. Place the clean fill valve back in the tank and flush as normal.</p></div>

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!
