Sofia serviced our hot water heater and she did an excellent job. She took the time to share with me pictures of the various filters. It definitely needed service

Ken has been my technician a couple of times now. He’s always on time, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He always fixes the problem and gives us proper estimates and options for moving forward.

Had connected with Garon T through Angie’s in spring. Did good Job then. This time, needed an outdoor line blown out and some plumbing inside fixed. Ken was plumber this time. A very personable guy, and a terrific plumber. We had a few plumbers over the years who checked a problem but could not figure out how to fix a faulty faucet on a tub. Ken figured it out in literally 15 seconds, he ordered the parts while still at our house and we were able to make an appointment to get it fixed. He also explained Garon Ts annual service agreement, which is a great deal. we took it. Ken returned with the parts, fixed the tub faucet and then addressed a problem with boiler that Keith shutting down. He identified the problem but as we discussed the age if both the boiler and water heater I saw it would be wider to replace the system. Again, Ken expedited the details and worked up an estimate. Really the best plumber we’ve had in our homes.

This time Garon T sent out Ken to help with removing a kitchen sink and installing a new one. He was great. I’m think Garon T is the company to call. Prompt, professional and polite.

Nick came to my rescue! He found the tiny tiny hole that was causing water on my basement floor. He also changed my whole house water filter as even with the plastic wrench supplied I could not budge it . As with all the Garon T team he was courteous, efficient and talented. Highly recommend this company and all their employees

Drain clogs and blockages are some of the most frustrating aspects of home maintenance. While you might be careful about what you let go down your drains, certain everyday items can still sneak past your radar and build up in your pipes over time. Fortunately, you can depend on Garon T Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric whenever you need prompt drain cleaning in Lakewood, NJ.

Let’s take a closer look at three common household items that cause clogged drains.

Cooking Grease and Oils

Ask any plumber about the top culprits behind drain clogs, and cooking grease and oils will be mentioned more often than not. At first glance, grease seems harmless. However, when grease cools and congeals, you’ve got a problem. It is at this stage that they can begin to form stubborn blockages. To prevent this, make a habit of disposing of grease properly. In addition, make sure to schedule drain cleaning services, such as hydro jetting, from experts to keep your kitchen plumbing running smoothly.

Hair

In the bathroom, hair is one of the leading causes of clogged drains. Whether it’s from washing your hair in the shower or shaving over the sink, hair can easily slip into the drain. Once it builds up, it creates a thick, tangled mess that obstructs water flow. To avoid this, use a drain cover in your shower and sink to catch hair before it goes down the drain. When the issue borders on the extreme, have drain cleaning services get rid of more stubborn hair clogs for you.

Paper Towels and “Flushable” Wipes

When it comes to ‘flushable’ wipes, don’t trust the label. Instead, follow expert advice from your trusted rooter service provider and avoid flushing anything other than human waste and toilet paper. Remember, “flushable” wipes are not safe for your plumbing. More often than not, they can lead to toilet clogs that can be a handful to deal with.

If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, don’t wait for it to get worse. Reach out to us at Garon T Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric. From conducting drain snaking to performing timely jetting services, you can trust us to get rid of clogs using safe and effective methods!
