Q: How do you unclog a main drain without a snake?

• <div><p>If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don&rsquo;t have one, try vinegar and baking soda.

Repeat multiple times as needed.</p></div>

Q: What can cause clogs in a sprinkler valve?

• <div><p>Clogs in a sprinkler valve can be caused by various factors, including debris in the water supply, sediment buildup inside the valve, or damage to the diaphragm. Debris and sediment can accumulate over time, obstructing the valve's passages and impeding water flow. Damaged diaphragms may develop tears or holes, leading to blockages and affecting the valve's ability to open or close properly. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent and address these issues, ensuring your sprinkler valve operates smoothly.</p></div>

Q: How do I empty a washing machine drain?

• <div><p>If your washing machine drain is clogged, that isn&rsquo;t a good sign. Unlike toilet drains or kitchen sink drains, there isn&rsquo;t matter that is easily broken up with a plumbing snake, and more care is required. If you&rsquo;re in an old house or have mineral-rich water, there could be a buildup inside the pipe. Either way, if the blockage isn&rsquo;t obvious and doesn&rsquo;t dislodge with a snake, you need to call a pro&mdash;otherwise, you risk damaging integral plumbing. </p></div>

"Dillon was a great guy and worked fast and efficient. My house is 50 plus years old and the duct work had never been cleaned. Post the work, the house even smelled better. I am in the middle of a complete remodel and living in the house. I had all 11 vent grilles removed -(saved Dillon a pile of time not having to remove and re-install) and I would have thought a discount would have been in order."

"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."
