Frequently Asked Questions

Many plumbing companies offer emergency service for burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, overflowing fixtures and loss of water. Availability and after-hours rates should be confirmed directly.
Plumbers and drain-cleaning companies can inspect and clear clogged sinks, toilets, showers, floor drains and main sewer lines using tools appropriate to the location and severity of the blockage.
