Professional Clogged Drain Repair
Most hardware stores sell a number of products to help clear a clog from your toilet or drain, and don’t get us wrong, they work. However, these products are also dangerous to use and can cause damage to your pipes. Here is a quick breakdown of the problems associated with these remedies:
- Chemical clog removers are usually made of lye. Lye produces a thermal reaction which can melt piping. It can also cause burns to the skin, eyes, and lungs if inhaled
- Drain snakes may potentially remove the physical clog but with an untrained hand, they typically push the blockage further into the pipe
- Both products will allow leftover buildup from soap and hard water to remain. This slime can allow for new clogs to form at a much faster rate
Our technicians carry all of the right tools for the job and can easily clean your drains to ensure new clogs won’t form anytime soon.
The Benefits of Replacing Your Water Heater
Your water heater is a vital part of your home. It provides hot water to aid in clothes and dishwashing, household cleaning, and cooking activities. Unfortunately, water heaters don’t last forever. The last thing you want is to jump into a shower only to realize there is no hot water, so here are a few signs that you may need to replace your unit:
- Age - water heaters last on average 10-13 years. This number is only an average and does not mean it WILL last that long
- Rust - any rust that is seen on the water heater or inside of it means that the metal has been compromised and leaks are sure to come
- Noise - over time, sediment will build up at the bottom of the tank and begin to burn a bit more every time the heater is used. Aside from the fact that this process literally cooks the bottom of the tank, it is also noisy and will lead to leaks
- Broken heating element - if the water heater was manufactured more than 8 years ago and you suddenly do not have hot water, chances are the heating element is broken and it is more cost-efficient to replace the entire system

The Importance of Proper Drain Maintenance
Clogged drains can be a major inconvenience and lead to more significant plumbing issues if left unattended. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to any drainage problems are essential to ensure the smooth operation of your home's plumbing system. By addressing clogged drains quickly, you can prevent water damage, foul odors, and costly repairs down the line.
Attempting to clear a clogged drain yourself can be risky and may cause further damage. Hiring a professional plumbing service ensures the job is done safely and effectively, restoring the proper flow of your drains and preventing future blockages.
Extending the Lifespan of Your Water Heater
Water heaters are a crucial component of any home, providing the hot water necessary for daily activities. However, these appliances have a finite lifespan, and proper maintenance is crucial to extending their useful years. Regular flushing of the water heater to remove sediment buildup can help improve efficiency, reduce energy costs, and prolong the unit's lifespan.
In addition, being aware of the signs that a water heater needs replacement, such as age, rust, or unusual noises, can help homeowners plan for and budget for a timely replacement. Investing in a new, energy-efficient water heater can not only provide reliable hot water but also contribute to long-term cost savings on utility bills.

Confused/ poor customer service skills
Caleb - Eldon, MO65026
I was quoted $1,100 for an LED panel installation on a part that seems to retail between $80–$100. Unless I’m missing something, $1,000 purely for labor feels excessive. Would this job take 8 hours? What is the hourly rate here? I was genuinely confused- and didn’t even feel comfortable to ask my questions as the tech made it clear he didn’t have time for them via tone and body language. When I expressed that confusion and hesitation, I was met with poor customer service. The technician spoke to me in a condescending tone and even asked, “Well, how much did you think it was going to cost?” — which felt dismissive and unprofessional. Isn’t providing a clear and reasonable quote the technician’s role? I have over 5 years of management experience, and while that may not mean much in this field, it’s more than enough to recognize when a customer interaction is handled poorly. In this case, the technician (Tim) was impatient, pushy, and seemed biased toward me based on my age. He insisted on “running it up the chain” for a decision even after I made it clear we would not be moving forward. I won’t be returning or recommending this company in any capacity. I’m not seeking outreach or follow-up — I simply want to share my experience in case the company holds itself to a higher standard than what was demonstrated.
Great service!!
