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.
How can I effectively unclog my bathroom plumbing fixtures without using harsh chemicals?
One effective method to unclog bathroom plumbing fixtures without using harsh chemicals is to use a plunger. Make sure to create a tight seal around the drain and then push and pull the plunger vigorously to dislodge the clog. Additionally, you can try using a plumbing snake or auger to physically remove the blockage.
How much does it typically cost to install a new toilet in my home?
The cost to install a new toilet in a home typically ranges from $150 to $300, depending on the complexity of the installation and any additional materials needed.
What measures does your company take to prevent future sewage line backup incidents after completing a cleanup service?
After completing a cleanup service, our company takes measures such as inspecting the sewage line for any blockages or damage, recommending regular maintenance schedules, and providing advice on proper disposal practices to prevent future sewage line backup incidents.
