"Kurt from KJM Plumbing installed 4 faucets and a sink for us. He was very careful and did a great job. Kurt is one of the best communicators I have run into regarding assessing and scheduling a home improvement project. His text messages kept me constantly updated on the project and the schedule. He stopped by our house to inspect the project site and give us advice on the best size for the sink. He arrived at our house as scheduled to perform the work. He cleaned up after completing the project. He was very pleasant and helpful. I would certainly call upon KJM Plumbing for my next plumbing job."

"We started having trouble with the floor drain backing up and it was pretty obvious that there was something slowing flow from the main line of the house. I called Cardinal on a Tuesday evening and they set me up with an inspection for noon by the next day. They were running ahead of schedule, so they contacted me to see whether I would be ready an hour earlier. I was, so their service man Robert Welch can out very promptly, helped identify the location of the cleanout for the main line, and got to work. He ended up chiseling out the cap which had never been opened for the life of the house. He was able to clean out some minor tree root growth from the line, inspect the line with a scope, and guarantee the work in about 3 hours. He was careful to clean up from all of his work and was very polite during the visit. When all was said and done, I had a working sewer line within 24 hours of my phone call. I am happy to recommend Robert and Cardinal to others for quick drain cleaning service."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.

Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.

Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.
