"Stan was excellent. Very professional and courteous. He would explain what he was doing and why he was doing it. He even gave me some pointers when doing plumbing. He was a pleasure to have at my house while performing the services for our plumbing repair. I felt the price was fair considering the quality of the workmanship, product and the warranty associated with the purchase. I will definitely use Oak Plumbing in the future and specifically request Stan."

Customers say: Quality work

"Jay is very responsive to my inquiries. Jay and George Albert did a very good job in cleaning up the clogs of our bathroom sink pipe and kitchen drain pipe. With George onsite and Jay providing guidance, the trouble shooting of our drain pipe clog was done smoothly and successfully. George is a happy person. He was smiling and singing when working on a complicated drainage clogging problem. We were very happy with the service from Jay and his team. I would highly recommend Jayâ s Precise Plumbing company to work on plumbing jobs. Thanks to Jay and George Albert for their excellent service!"

"This is the third time I have used Albert Nahman. This time was for a water leak with an unclear origin. They did a great job diagnosing the problem and took the time to explain what they found and offer options on potential fixes. I really appreciate the care their plumber took in tracking down the problem and providing a realistic quote for the cost and time to fix the problem. They also arrive on time and do a great job cleaning up after the work is done. A+++ company. Will definitely use them again the in future."

"Leo was prompt to respond, flexible with timing and personable. I had intermittent noisy pipes and he tracked down the location quickly and fixed it. He insisted on cleaning up despite me telling him I would take care of cleanup. I highly recommend Leo. Nice job"

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

There are several signs that can indicate your leach lines are broken, failing, or in need of repair, including puddles of water or a marshy consistency to the ground above or around the pipes, slow drainage or plumbing backups inside your home, and noticeable odors or gurgling sounds coming from your leach field. Keeping your septic system properly maintained, including having your septic tank pumped at regular intervals, can help ensure your leach lines stay in good working order for a long time.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

Grease buildup, tree roots, and foreign objects often cause blockages. Regular maintenance prevents major issues.

Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours 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.
