Got questions? Whether you’re curious about our services, need tips for maintaining your plumbing, or want to know what sets J. Blanton Plumbing apart, you’ll find the answers right here.

Can you provide recommendations on how to prevent basement flooding in my home?

To prevent basement flooding, ensure proper grading around your home, install a sump pump with a backup power source, maintain your gutters and downspouts, seal any cracks in the foundation, and consider installing a backwater valve.

Can you explain the process of drain cleaning and how long it typically takes?

The process of drain cleaning involves using specialized tools such as drain snakes or hydro-jetting equipment to remove clogs and debris from the pipes. The time it takes to complete drain cleaning can vary depending on the severity of the clog and the size of the plumbing system, but it typically takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.

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.
