Q: How long does it take a plumber to unclog a drain?

• <div><p>On average, a plumber will take <b>30 minutes to two hours</b> to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn&rsquo;t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.</p></div>

Q: How can a drain clog be professionally cleared?

• <div><p>Professionals use snakes, hydrojetting, or chemical cleaners to clear blockages effectively without damaging pipes.</p></div>

Q: What happens if I don't replace cast iron pipes?

• <div><p>Replacing cast iron pipes when they&rsquo;ve reached the end of their life span is key to preventing leaks and clogs. Over time, cast iron pipes corrode and experience <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-sewer-line-need-replacing-or-descaling.htm">pipe scale</a>, which thickens the inside of the walls and increases the chance of clogs while also decreasing water flow. As the material deteriorates, you could experience costly leaks that increase reparation expenses. </p><p>Cast iron can last between 50 and 75 years, but it&rsquo;s still a good idea to check for leaks as your pipes approach the 25-year mark, as pipes can already show signs of deterioration within the first three decades.</p></div>

Q: Does pouring water down the toilet help it flush?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you&rsquo;ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you&rsquo;re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.</p></div>

Q: Can polybutylene pipes last 30 years?

• <div><p>At most, polybutylene pipes last 10 to 15 years. The material is simply not durable enough to withstand some of the chemical elements found in our water supply, such as fluoride and chlorine. These pipes tend to deteriorate quickly and lead to leaks or even pipe bursts. If your home still has polybutylene pipes, we recommend replacing them as soon as possible to prevent major water damage in your home.</p></div>
