"Terrible and stay away!!! I really don?t like to write reviews about anyone but I felt we were cheated by hiring CH plumbing I ask everyone that want to do business with CH plumbing (Eddie) to reconsider and be careful not to make the same mistake we did. We got a bid to install pressure gage and 2 tankless water heater and remove and discard existing ones! We negotiated the price down $300 less than he quoted us, after he came and inspected the job, and gave us his bid. We paid Eddie before he even started the work (big Mistake on our part) thinking the gentlemen needs the money to by materials and according to him was going to finish late that day. It was 4pm when I got a call from him saying he finished the work but had issue with one heater going off and explained he might need to trouble shoot or as originally said might have to run a gas line to it (about 5 feet away) but he had to go! I was 5 minutes away from the house and asked him to wait he said he left already! When I got home found the control panels for the smart tankless water heaters in my shed didn?t even bother install them or even ask me when called him to ask his reply was supposedly you can bypassed them and there is no need for them!!! (According to him) (first issue) (Second issue) The water pressure was very low and the water is hardly coming out of the faucets! I called to tell him about the pressure issue and explained how these heaters are smart and the digital controls are there for a reason as it?s was recommended by the health department to use them as you can set the water temp to reach 135 as I used them before not to mention it has a nice digital display and you can turn off and on the water heater when going on vacation and so on. He said he didn?t want to drill the wall to install the display!! And will come out on Friday to trouble shoot the one heater and I rescheduled for Tuesday the following week. On late Monday night Eddie texted me that he if he comes out to trouble shoot the heater in question and if he has to run a gas line to it, he will have to charge me a whooping $750 for the work even though his original bid was including running longer gas line to the farthest (over 20 feet away) heater location (didn?t have to after all) when I negotiated the price for $300 less he clearly said he would run the gas line for the closest heater (5 feet away)if it requires if we agree to $200 less and not $300 We refused to accept anymore charges and requested Eddie to finish the job to trouble shoot and install the digital display as it requires in the manual Eddie decided he doesn't need my business!!! _Lesson learned; never pay anyone until the work is performed completely and to your satisfaction _don?t trust what they promise you unless it is in writing as per the conversation and agreement you make with them over the phone _ we will never hire anyone using this platform it seams they have a lot of startups that don?t honor their words so be careful We are very disappointed with this project outcome"

Sewer main clearings FAQs

Experts recommend cleaning your sewer line every 18 to 22 months to prevent clogs from building up and causing damage to the pipes and related installations. Put it on a calendar and perform the cleaning procedure even if you experience no obvious signs of a clog. Look out for telltale warning signs of a significant clog, like gurgling sounds and rotten smells coming from your drain.

The average sewer-cleaning process takes around two hours for a typical home. However, more complex jobs can take up to four or five hours to complete a thorough sewer cleaning. Repairing any damage caused by the clog takes even longer, up to two or three days of work, depending on the severity of the sewer line damage.

You can’t prevent every clog, as they naturally occur over time, but you can drastically reduce their frequency by following common sense steps. Rely on trash cans or the garbage disposal to remove waste, limiting the amount of solid materials that go down the drain. Never flush problem items like dental floss, paper towels, cat litter, or “flushable” wipes. Finally, conduct regular inspections and perform routine maintenance cleanings.

Drain cleaners can sometimes be used as part of a general maintenance routine. Though budget-friendly, these chemicals are often too harsh for pipes and won’t help with major clogs. “Liquid drain openers are better suited to use as part of a regular maintenance program. Pouring a small amount down the drain after running your dishwasher or garbage disposal is a good idea,” says Jeff Botelho, Angi Expert Review Board member and Massachusetts-licensed journeyman plumber. “Cleaning garbage disposals regularly will help keep excess material from entering the building sewer and causing a problem.”
