Q: How do you clean a drain without removing the stopper?

• <div><p>If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:</p><ul><li><p>Pour &frac12; cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel</p></li><li><p>Pour 1 &frac12; cups vinegar into the drain</p></li><li><p>Close the sink stopper for 15&ndash;20 minutes</p></li><li><p>Open the drain</p></li><li><p>Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)</p></li></ul><p>If the drain isn&rsquo;t unclogged, repeat the process.</p></div>

Q: How often should you snake your sewer line?

• <div><p>Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There&rsquo;s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don&rsquo;t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same <b>18- to 22-month</b> schedule), but it&rsquo;s not always necessary. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take a plumber to unclog a drain?

• <div><p>On average, a plumber will take <b>30 minutes to two hours</b> to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn&rsquo;t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to snake a drain?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-snake-a-drain.htm">Snaking a drain</a> can take as little as a <b>few minutes</b> for small, simple clogs, <b>up to two hours</b> or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to unclog a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>You can often unclog a garbage disposal in less than 10 minutes, though sometimes you might need longer if you&rsquo;re unsure what&rsquo;s causing the clog. For minor clogs, consider plunging the drain, flushing the drain with baking soda and vinegar, or using an Allen wrench to free the clog. If the clog is more severe, contact a local plumber.</p></div>

This is the second time I have used this company and had the same issue. Cutting the trees went well but clean up was not complete. My neighbor was told they would return to pick up two limbs left in her yard. When they didn't show up I had to call twice for them to finish the job.

"He was very thorough in his estimate and material list. He arrived on time and completed the job when he said he would. My house is very old (1918) and there was an issue with the floor being unlevel. He made sure to add extra bracing and supports to keep the floor from sagging in the future. He cleaned up after the job was finished and hauled of the removed subfloor to the street for pickup. He is a very polite and professional repairman. I will definitely use him in the future."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel
Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain
Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes
Open the drain
Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.
