"I would recommend White's Plumbing & Repair to anyone who's looking for a plumber who will show up as promised, accurately diagnose a problem, and who possesses the skills to make the necessary repairs. After another company had left me in a difficult position by sending a plumber who was was uninterested and/or unable to deal with my problem, White's Plumbing & Repair came to the rescue. Even at the end of a long, busy day, Lorenzo and his assistant showed up as promised and treated me as if I was most important customer of the day. He was thorough, and it was obvious that he took pride in his work. I'm thankful that I was able to connect with White's Plumbing & Repair, and grateful for the good work that Lorenzo did that day."

"My disabled mom was very worried and didn't understand the job that needed to be performed. Jeremy, from ECR Plumbing, was very polite and sat down with my mom and went over the whole job and explained everything to her so she could understand. She was so happy and relieved to have someone who cared so much about his work and and that he explained everything that was going to be done. As far as the job, Jeremy, went out of his way out go the extra mile and put in the best products and also keeping the price lower than the other 3 plumbing companies that I had called. The ECR crew were on time and finished the job in 2 days."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don’t have a cat or don’t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms.

Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.
