OUR PARTNERS


















Is there a specific type of equipment or method that your company uses for sewer drain clearing that sets you apart from other plumbing companies?
Yes, our company utilizes high-pressure water jetting equipment for sewer drain clearing, which is highly effective in removing tough blockages and debris compared to traditional methods.
What materials or tools should I avoid using to temporarily fix a burst pipe before your team arrives for repair?
Avoid using duct tape, electrical tape, or any type of adhesive tape to temporarily fix a burst pipe. These materials are not suitable for repairing plumbing leaks and may not hold up under pressure. Instead, use a pipe repair clamp, pipe repair tape, or a rubber patch specifically designed for temporary pipe repairs.
How can I prevent clogged drains in my home?
To prevent clogged drains in your home, avoid pouring grease, oil, or coffee grounds down the drain. Use drain strainers to catch hair and debris, and regularly flush drains with hot water and vinegar to prevent buildup.
How does your company handle the disposal of contaminated materials following a sewage line backup service?
As a licensed plumber, our company follows strict guidelines for the disposal of contaminated materials following a sewage line backup service. We ensure that all contaminated materials are properly contained, removed, and disposed of in accordance with local regulations and best practices to prevent any health or environmental risks.
What are the most common causes of stubborn clogs in drains, and what methods do you use to effectively remove them during the drain cleaning process?
The most common causes of stubborn clogs in drains are built-up debris, grease, hair, soap scum, and mineral deposits. To effectively remove them during the drain cleaning process, plumbers typically use methods such as snaking the drain with an auger, using a drain snake or drain cleaning tool, hydro jetting to blast away the clog with high-pressure water, or using chemical drain cleaners as a last resort.
