faqs

  • 1. Does your warranty cover drain clogs?

    While most plumbing companies don’t offer a drain cleaning warranty, at Fast Plumber, we’re proud to provide a 30-day warranty on our drain cleaning services. If your clogged drain returns within 30 days, we’ll come back and clear it again—free of charge. However, it’s important to note that recurring drain clogs can often indicate an underlying issue that may need further investigation.

  • 2. If your dishwasher isn’t draining, should you call a plumber or an appliance technician?

    If your dishwasher drains into the pipes under your sink, try running the faucet. If the faucet drains without any issues, you likely need an appliance technician. However, if the faucet water doesn’t drain, the blockage is in the pipes, and you’ll need a plumber.

  • 3. What causes kitchen sinks to clog?

    Kitchen sinks often clog due to food particles, grease, and oil buildup. These materials solidify in the pipes and restrict water flow. Running hot water and occasionally using drain cleaning solutions can help, but professional cleaning may be necessary for more severe blockages.

  • 4. How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged?

    If you notice slow draining in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds from your drains, or sewage odors coming from your pipes, these are signs of a sewer line clog. A professional plumber can inspect your sewer line with a camera to identify the blockage and clear it.

  • 5. Can I prevent my drains from clogging?

    Yes, routine maintenance like drain cleaning can help prevent clogs. Avoid putting food scraps, grease, and non-flushable items down your drains. Installing strainers in your sinks and showers can also help catch hair and debris before they enter your pipes.

  • 6. What is hydro jetting, and how does it help with drain cleaning?

    Hydro jetting is a drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to blast away debris, grease, and buildup in your pipes. It’s an effective way to clean your drains and prevent future clogs by thoroughly clearing the pipes.

  • 7. When should I install a backwater valve?

    A backwater valve is essential for homes in areas prone to flooding or heavy rains. It prevents sewage from backing up into your home’s plumbing system. If you’ve experienced sewage backups or live in a flood-prone area, you should consider installing one.
