Eric Lambert
Could not ask for a better person (Lafe) and a better company . Very pleased 💯
scott ramage
Joe and his guys installed new plumbing in a house for me everything went smoothly they did a great job.
Sheila S
Lafe did a great job fixing my kitchen sink! He thoroughly checked to make sure all was working before he left. He was personable and detected the problem promptly. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!
Levi Engles-Williams
Garbage disposal was leaking and just wanted the old thing completely removed instead of replacing it. Lafe did a great job and didn't try to convince me to get a new disposal, which would have cost more, like some other places would have tried to do. He was friendly and easy to talk to while still getting the job done. Will definitely recommend this company and won't think twice about calling them again for any other plumbing issues we have.
Barb Meyer
Leif was friendly, on time, and kept me informed of everthing as it was being repaired. I would use this company again. Thanks.
Karen Marcus
Joe has helped three clients in the last month. He has consistently provided reasonable and fair bids, shown up when he says he will be there, and helped us get repairs done in a timely manner to be able to close on schedule. Highly recommend.
Erik Fenter
Prompt service that provided great care and was very thorough. I was very impressed. It's been l a long time since I could trust a plumber. Those orange and black stripe guys are terrible. A+ is true to their name.
Julia Fargotstein
We had a great experience with A+ Plumbing! Lafe was personable, honest, and really easy to talk to, which made the whole process stress-free. We needed a bathtub drain and sink drain pipe repaired. The guys arrived and fixed the issues in our home quickly and did quality work. The price they quoted was very reasonable as well. We’ll definitely be using them again and highly recommend them!
Laurie Funk
I was very pleased on how fast and quick they came out and fixed my broken pipes outside and fixed everything downstairs. Very fast responding to help me. Very good work and great clean up. Would definitely recommend them for anything else I need done.
Look at which fixtures are affected
One slow sink and several fixtures backing up together can point to different parts of the drainage system. Describe every affected fixture, where water first appears and whether using one fixture causes trouble at another. That pattern helps identify which shared line may be blocked.
A Plus Plumbing & Drain Cleaning offers sewer cleaning in Alton and the Metro East. Let us know whether the line is draining at all and what happened during any earlier attempts to clear it.
Cleaning a shared drain line
The work needs suitable access to the affected line. Tell us if you know where a cleanout is located and whether it can be reached. You do not need to open it or remove plumbing before calling.
Cleaning removes material obstructing the line. The approach depends on access and what is found. If only one fixture is affected, drain cleaning may address the blockage closer to that fixture.
When a blockage keeps returning
If a line backs up again soon after cleaning, the cause needs checking. Previous cleaning dates, the time between backups and any inspection findings can help identify a recurring problem.
A sewer camera inspection may be appropriate when visible conditions inside the pipe need to be assessed. Cleaning and inspection serve different purposes. Neither the symptoms nor a short-lived improvement alone prove that the pipe is damaged or that the problem is resolved.
While you arrange help
Stop using fixtures affected by a backup and keep people and pets away from wastewater. Avoid adding or mixing chemical cleaners. Tell us what has already been used so the situation can be discussed with that information.
Share your address and whether the backup is currently continuing. A Plus is based in Bethalto and has been in business since 2010. Call (618) 787-5771 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call to confirm availability for your location.
Helpful answers
Sewer Cleaning questions
How is sewer cleaning different from clearing a sink drain?
A sink problem may be confined to a nearby drain, while several affected fixtures can point to a shared line. The symptoms and available access help determine where the obstruction needs to be investigated.
Will cleaning fix a broken sewer pipe?
Cleaning addresses an obstruction; it does not repair damaged pipework. If the symptoms or findings suggest a pipe defect, further inspection and a separate repair discussion may be needed.
Can you promise the blockage will not return?
The cause and condition of the line matter. A recurring problem should be discussed rather than treated as proof that another cleaning will permanently resolve it.
Should I add drain cleaner while waiting?
Avoid adding or mixing chemical cleaners, particularly when wastewater is standing in the fixtures. Tell us about any products already used and keep people and pets clear of the backup.
