			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Toilet Paper</strong></h1>
<p>Many customers ask us about the type of toilet paper they should use. Technically speaking, if your toilet bowl and your sewer lines are powerful and large enough to handle any type of toilet paper then, by all means use any type of toilet paper. But if your toilet does not have a power flush (majority of toilet bowls are not power flush bowls) and your sewer is a normal size sewer (normally household and many commercial sewer lines are 4&#8243;-6&#8243; in diameter) than you should really be careful with what goes down your toilet. keep in mind, it may be able to flush down the toilet bowl but it can very well end up clogging your sewer system.<br />
Using a single ply toilet paper is recommended because the tissue dissolves in water and is easily carried through the sewer system. Thicker toilet papers, wipes, napkins, paper towels etc may be able able to pass through the toilet sometimes, without clogging it, but if a number of such items make their way into the sewer line, they can clog up the sewer line.<br />
We can&#8217;t recommend any particular brand, but if you want to reduce the chances of having a clog in your sewer or your toilet, then use a single ply toilet paper. We had conducted a survey about the biggest reason why toilets get clogged. Our mechanics found that mostly thick toilet paper and &#8220;flushable&#8221; wipes are the a major reason.<br />
Customers who followed our advice and changed their toilet paper to a single ply toilet paper saw a reduced toilet and sewer back-ups. We hope you have reduced toilet and sewer back-ups, but if you ever have a toilet or a sewer backup, you can always call us. We are available to serve you in Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Nassau and Suffolk 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During and after heavy rains our call volume gets heavy too. Most of the calls during the rain fall turn out to be a city <a href="http://www.a4995.com">sewer </a>back up. What is a city <a href="http://www.a4995.com">sewer </a>back up? Why does a &#8220;city <a href="http://www.a4995.com">sewer</a>&#8221; back up? Isn&#8217;t the city <a href="http://www.a4995.com">sewer </a>pipe a huge pipe? Why would it back up? All these questions come in mind when you hear that the city sewer is backing up into your house.<br />
Following guidelines will help you determine if the city sewer is backing up into your house:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the water keeps overflowing into your basement (or the lowest) toilet and shower, even though you do not have any water running in the house. Its a possible city sewer backing up (provided its not rain water backing into your house).</li>
<li>The city sewer smells worse than any regular sewer back up. The sewage from the city sewer is more like sludge and it will carry alot of garbage (straws, string, really dark black sludge) along with the sewer water.</li>
<li>Usually the whole block is affected in case of a city sewer back up. Ask your neighbors if they are having a back up too. Incase most of the houses on the block are having sewer problems at the same time, it is more than like a city sewer back up.</li>
<li>Dial 311. Ask for DEP (Department of Environmental Protection). Explain your situation to them. Take a reference number for your complaint. Remember DEP usually responds with 24hrs but they might respond sooner aswell.</li>
<li>DEP is only responsible for their sewer lines. They will not clean sewer lines that they are not responsoble for. They do not charge for their service.</li>
</ol>
<p>You can always call $49.95 Any Sewer or Drain and explain your situation over the phone or <a title="email us" href="http://www.a4995.com/emailform.html" target="_blank">email us</a>. We will respond with our expert advice for free.</p>

<p>We do hundreds of jobs everyday and on the daily basis our customers ask us if chemicals are good to unclog <a href="http://www.a4995.com">sewers</a> and drains. We&#8217;ll the answer is they may or may not be, depends on how and where you use the chemicals. If your drain is totally blocked, there is a very slim chance that any chemical would work on it. Why do we claim that?<br />
We&#8217;ll we are not claiming that, we have seen it more than enough times to determine that chemicals do not really work in a mild to severe blockage. They might work on a slow drainage but that too is not really guaranteed. A lot of times customers combine a number of chemicals to get better results, that is a big NO NO. Combining two chemicals will create a third chemical which might even be more harmful.<br />
Chemicals are also harmful for the pipes ( except pvc in many cases). Smaller metal pipes under the bathtub, vanity sink and kitchen sink can even start leaking due to heavy usage of chemicals. Sewer pipes are mostly clay for the most part and are bigger and stronger than the rest of the plumbing in the house and are also more resistant to chemicals.<br />
Other than the drains, the chemicals are also harmful for our skin, and can cause severe burns if not used properly.<br />
Our advice to you is to use the chemicals <strong>only</strong> if you have no other choice. You can always call $<a href="http://www.a4995.com">49.95</a> Any Sewer or Drain for all your sewer and drain needs, you can even contact us via email if you have any questions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of time people complain about a <a href="http://www.a4995.com">sewer </a>smell in their house but they don&#8217;t actually have a <a href="http://www.mainsewer.com">sewer </a>backing up anywhere. Majority of the times this is because of a dried out floor drain in the basement.<br />
All drains consist of &#8220;U&#8221; shape or &#8220; P&#8221; shape traps. The trap holds water in order to keep the sewer gas out. If your floor drain or any other drain in the house is not used for a while, the water in the trap evaporates and allows the sewer gas to enter your house. You can prevent this by simply pouring water in the drains that have not been used for a while.</p>
<p>In some cases the sewer backs up in the &#8220;<a href="http://www.mainsewer.com">sewer </a>pit&#8221; and keeps overflowing in the sewer pit instead of the basement toilet of shower. This happens if your sewer caps get loose and the sewer overflows in your pit (incase of a backup). The sewer water keeps backing up and depending on the size of your pit you will not realize you have a back up until you see water crawling into your basement room next to the sewer pit. In this case you can call $<a href="http://www.a4995.com">49.95 Any Sewer or Drain</a> and have your sewer snaked for $49.95.</p>
