A$49.95 Any Sewer or Drain http://a4995.com/blogs "If you didn't call us...you paid too much" Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:07:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Clog in Space http://a4995.com/blogs/2009/07/26/clog-in-space/ http://a4995.com/blogs/2009/07/26/clog-in-space/#comments Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:07:54 +0000 admin http://a4995.com/blogs/?p=426 Astronauts deal with flooded toilet in orbit :roll:

Everyday millions of people face clogged sewers and drains on the planet Earth. Almost all of those people know that unclogging the sewer line is not rocket science, but recently rocket scientists who happened to be in orbit faced a problem with their toilet. We can only speculate what clogged the toilet on a space shuttle, but whatever clogged the toilet, it is another proof that a crowded toilet is bound to get clogged even if it is a space toilet. Apparently the space station is over crowded and the toilet bowl could not handle the extra traffic.

(AP) — “The bathroom lines at the already crowded space shuttle and space station complex got a lot longer Sunday because of a flooded toilet. One of two commodes aboard the international space station malfunctioned, right in the middle of complicated robotic work being conducted by the two crews. The pump separator apparently flooded.”

We are offering free service to the international space station, our only requirement is that we have to be provided with transportation and accommodation at the job site. ;-)

In many instances a home owner has to deal with a basement flooded along with a clogged sewer. Most of the time a sewer backs up without any warning and the clog is seen as a surprise by the home owner. To avoid these unpleasant surprises a home owner can take preemptive measures, such as:

  1. Avoid pouring grease in the drains
  2. Avoid flushing napkins, paper towels and other sanitary items
  3. Get the sewer line electrically cleaned to cut tree roots grown in the sewer line
  4. Make sure you have easy access to your house trap

Can a toilet cause a clog in a sewer pipe?

Toilets use a lot of water and many times certain items are flushed down the toilet that can end up clogging the main sewer line. This is not the most common reason why sewers get clogged. Sewer clogs occur due to many reasons and toilet bowls can be blamed about 10% of time according to our mechanics in the field.
Most of the times toilets get clogged due to paper products and when a clogged toilet is unclogged the clog moves down the line and may result in a sewer clog. Paper towels, disposable and cloth diapers and feminine products cause many problems in the sewer main.  These products do not deteriorate quickly.  They should be disposed of in the garbage.

You might have heard of rats coming out of toilet bowls and sewer lines but might not have seen a rat coming out of a bowl. Here are 10 videos of rats coming out a toilet or a sewer line.

2) Another rat crawled up a toilet.

1) This is not a classic rat in toilet video but this is something not many people might have seen before….

All the videos were compiled because many customers sent us emails asking whether rats really do crawl up toilets. Though it is not that common, but yes, rats do indeed crawl up the sewer line and can also crawl into a toilet bowl. Our mechanics have encountered numerous jobs where they found rats in the sewer line but almost always they found dead rats. The above videos are taken directly from YouTube.com and are NOT produced by A$49.95 Any Sewer or Drain, Inc. Please comment on the post and email us your questions. We will gladly answer any of your questions related to sewer and drain clogs.

Thank You

The swine influenza virus that almost always effected pigs has mutated into a form that can effect humans. The worst part is that this disease has spread worldwide in a very short span of time. So far there is no vaccine for this virus, even though WHO is working hard to develop a vaccine as soon as possible.
Almost everyone is at risk. So far, New York city has been hardest hit in our country. The health and government officials have advised to avoid crowded areas and pay special attention to personal hygiene. The news and media coverage has been focusing on swine virus for the past few days. It is highly recommended that everyone stays informed. For accurate information about this disease or any other disease you should consider visiting the official CDC (Center for disease control) website or visit the official pandemic flu website.

Though the name of the virus is ‘Swine flu”, the swine producers insist that it is safe to eat swine. It may be safe to eat swine, but it will be hard for the people to eat swine after a disease has been named after it. A few years back we saw the beef market crash due to a “mad cow disease”, same might apply to the swine flu. The swine producers are bound to be affected by this disease, which means, possibly more job losses to the pork producers and the people associated with the pork industry.

Many countries have already imposed bann on pork imports. Egypt has ordered all pigs to be killed (hopefully they are not planning on exporting the pork). But on the other hand many say that the name “Swine Flu” is incorrect and the swine flu should actually be called H1N1 strain. We heard President Obama saying H1N1 as-well.
Symptoms of the swine flu:

Our mechanics are experienced and have been dispatched to jobs that mechanics from other sewer and drain companies were not able to unclog. This sink had been clogged for a while and the customer had been using chemicals until the kitchen sink totally stopped up. He got a number for a sewer company from the yellow pages and called them, but they wanted $125 minimum to unclog a kitchen sink.
The customer’s son found our website  and informed his father about our low price. The customer called us and confirmed the price right over the phone and when the mechanic completed the job and gave the customer a receipt with a total of $49.95, he was amazed. The mechanic even cleaned up after completing the job.
We are used to the amazement customers show us :) , but it makes us happy because we know we saved our customers money.

You can never be careful enough. To prevent sewer back ups, you should get your sewer line snaked as a preventative measure. The following sewer was clogged due to tampons and grease. Our mechanic had to snake the line a few times before it unclogged. While the mechanic was snaking the sewer, the rain water kept bringing in more water, putting pressure on the mechanic to unclog the sewer before the customers basement got flooded. Our mechanics are always concerned about our customers, and this mechanic is no different. He unclogged the sewer before it could overflow and cause damage to the customers basement.

The following video shows that a clogged sewer line can build up quite a bit of a pressure. In this case, the sewer back caused water to backup into the back yard, floor drains, basement shower and the basement toilet. If the mechanics had not kept his hands on the cap, the sewer water probably would have been all over him. It is very important to be careful while opening the sewer caps. In rare cases you can get injured if you get hit by the sewer cap.
