preventing-plumbing-clogsOne of the most common service calls we receive is in regards to drain and pipe clogging. It’s rare that you can own a home and never have to deal with a clog of some sort. Fortunately, however, our team of professionals has the tools and skills available to effectively remove clogs from your plumbing system. We also encourage taking steps to avoid the most stubborn of clogs.

For example, we do not recommend using store-bought chemical drain cleaners to try to remove a clog of any kind.
