Fran in Ottawa

I've never had a clogged kitchen drain (40 yr old house) until yesterday afternoon when, as a cleaning experiment, I tried to use one of those long drain snakes with a bristle brush tip .. to see how dirty the double sink pvc pipes might be. Turned out to be mighty clogged! So I made one phone call to my dependable Francis plumbing company, and even before 9am this morning, technician Dan arrived with a big smile and set to work diagnosing the problem, recommending to clear the clog with his handheld power drain opener. After confirming the cost (very reasonable), he started 'mining' his way through the clog, took about 10 minutes, but it worked! Then before reconnecting the pvc pipes, he double checked for any drain leaks and lubricated both sink baskets as a preventative measure. Then, as he was cleaning up the work site under the sink, he gave me some simple tips to help keep my pipes cleaner, for years to come. Thank you Dan!
