Q: Can frozen pipes cause a toilet to stop working or become blocked?

• <div><p>Yes, frozen pipes can prevent a toilet from working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which means your toilet tank won't be able to refill after a flush. This will prevent the toilet from flushing again. Depending on which lines are frozen, the ice can also block the drain pipe, preventing water from flushing away.</p><p>As a temporary workaround, you can manually add water to the tank for each flush. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try filling the toilet bowl or tank with warm water and flushing to help thaw the ice. However, the best long-term solution is to unfreeze the pipes to get your toilet back in working order.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my dishwasher drain hose is clogged?

• <div><p>Your dishwasher drain hose may have a clog if your dishwasher is full of water, your dishes aren&rsquo;t getting cleaned, or water takes a long time to discharge into the garbage disposal.</p></div>

Q: What causes a clogged sump pump?

• <div><p>The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.</p></div>

Q: How do you manually drain a washing machine?

• <div><p>The spin cycle on your washer should initiate draining, but if you still find leftover water in the washing machine tub, you may need to drain it manually. To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-drain-a-washing-machine.htm">manually drain a washing machine</a>, you&rsquo;ll need to turn off the power supply and locate the drain hose, filter, and pump. Open or disconnect these parts and let the water drain into a bucket.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to unclog a drain or sewer line?

• <div><p>The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.</p><p>For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.</p></div>

"Initially I had problems with a dehumidifier and drain hose were leaking because they were not properly installed. I wrote a one star review based on that. However, since then JES responded to my complaint and Brian came out and did a thorough job of installing a drain system for my dehumidifier, I was also impressed by a follow up phone call about my review and the subsequent work.

"Slow draining tub, a toilet that just won't flush, and some back flow when using the dishwasher left us thinking we just had a major clog. To our surprise, it was a collapsed sewer line that needed to be replaced. While there was a 1 week wait due to the time of year and the demands they were expecting, we were more than happy to wait the week. Work went quickly and smoothly, and was far less intrusive than we anticipated. Their staff even wore shoe coverings when coming into the house! Only some minor clean up work was required once they left, which appeared to be an oversight when they cleaned up. Everything else was back to normal after they left and no problems since."

However, the best long-term solution is to unfreeze the pipes to get your toilet back in working order.
