What should I do in a plumbing emergency?

If a drain is overflowing, immediately turn off the water shut-off valve for that fixture. If it is a main line backup, turn off the main water valve to the house and call us immediately for an emergency clogged drain cleaning service.

What do plumbers recommend to keep drains clean?

Regularly flushing drains with hot water can help dissolve grease. We also recommend using drain strainers to catch hair and food particles before they enter your system.

How do you unclog a drain past the P-trap?

If a plunger doesn't work, the clog is likely deep in the pipes. Our professionals use motorized drain augers or hydro-jetting to reach and remove obstructions deep within the plumbing system.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?

Most plumbers advise against them. Harsh chemicals can corrode your pipes over time and often only provide a temporary "tunnel" through the clog rather than a full cleaning.
