FAQ

Clogged drains are usually the result of a build-up of hair, soap scum, and other debris in pipes. You may notice that your toilet isn't draining as quickly as it used to, or perhaps it's taking longer for the water to go down your sink. You may also hear gurgling sounds directly from your drain, or spot discoloration in some parts of your sink or tub.

A licensed plumber will be able to provide you with a written contract, which outlines the scope of the work they will perform and includes the price for that work. A licensed plumber also has liability insurance, so if something goes wrong while they are working on your project, they are covered by their policy.

If your plumbing is experiencing any of these issues, it may be time for repair or replacement:

- Your water pressure is low
- You notice leaks in your pipe, faucet, or toilet
- Your toilet flushes slowly, or not at all
- You have clogged or slow drains

A good way to prevent plumbing problems is by having scheduled a preventative plumbing program.

Clogged drains are a common problem, but they can be prevented by keeping a few things in mind.

• Do not pour grease down the drain. Grease solidifies when it cools and forms clogs that are difficult to remove.
• Do not flush anything down the toilet that does not belong there—such as paper towels, feminine hygiene products, or anything else that does not dissolve in water. These items can cause major damage to your pipes if flushed down the toilet.
• Do not use harsh chemicals such as drain openers or bleach in your drains, as these chemicals can cause damage to your pipes over time, which can lead to expensive repairs later on down the road!
