"Donnie arrived in a timely manner. He and his partner got straight to the problem. It was a really bad clog so it had to be snaked out. An old pipe was causing a leak and had to be replaced. All work was done clean and efficiently. I was also given suggestions on how to prevent the clog from happening in the future. Very satisfied with work. I highly recommend and would use again."

"The plumber was professional & tried hard to resolve my problem but was unable to complete the job for me. However, he was able to resolve my mom's clogged drain. It was a bit expensive for no resolution for me because I still have to pay someone else to fix my problem. I appreciated that the company did give me a discount for the referral to my mom. I would recommend them."

"The cause of my problem was explained. New faucet and associated supply lines were needed. The drain piping was the original from when the house was built in the 1990's and was showing signs of deterioration. They replaced the drain piping in addition to the faucet and supply lines. The work was done promptly and was done in a professional manner. I now have a hall bathroom sink and associated plumbing that is better than when the house was originally built."

"They we just at my house two weeks ago and didnâ t expect to have to contact them so soon but my shower drain was clogged so called them again. This time Nicolas Lamoureux was the technician and he was very personable and knowledgeable and was able to unclog the drain in just a few minutes. Great job Nicolas, thank you."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

Common causes include hair buildup, soap residue, food particles, and foreign objects. Older pipes can also contribute by facilitating buildup more easily.

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

You can unclog a double kitchen sink by plunging the side with the garbage disposal. Cover the drain hole on the other side first to avoid creating a mess. Plunge up and down until the water starts to drain. You can also pour in baking soda and vinegar to try and dissolve a clog.
