"I've wanted to wait a few months before writing this review, because this was a big, daylong job that required more than just a few days to assess.  Sure, I was happy with the work when it was finished.  I'd gotten seemingly great work at a great price (about $1000 less than the quotes I'd gotten from two other top mountain plumbers).  And after several weeks without it, having consistent hot water throughout the house was absolute bliss.  Still, it's the kind of work that shouldn't be judged immediately.  If the water heater had failed after a few weeks, or the gas line had clogged up two months later, I might have been very UNhappy.  I just wanted to wait and make sure that work that SEEMED great . . . actually WAS great.
The good news: I highly recommend O'Brien Plumbing.  With a single phone call I was able to arrange for my plumber (Tristan) to come by, make an assessment of my problems and give me an estimate on the work that needed to be done.  Unlike another plumber who charged me $100--and gave me a much higher estimate--O'Brien Plumbing provided this service for free.  And Tristan even took time to sit down at my computer and help me pick out the optimal water heater to replace my old one.  (He not only recommended a much more powerful unit than the ones I was considering, but also gave me a clear explanation as to why.  Despite the sting of the additional cost, I ended following his advice and bought a Noritz 11.1 GPM tankless heater.  Now, I'm really glad I did.  It's a monster and has been really helpful when we've had company--or even when we just want to take a shower and run the dishwasher at the same time.  And it still pumps out consistent hot water in the coldest mountain weather.)
The day of the work: Tristan and his partner were a little late, but he apologized as soon as he arrived, which always makes me feel better.  I said, "I don't care as long as I have hot water by the end of the day."  "You will," he said.  About seven hours later, the work was done, and I had a new tankless heater installed (with new venting), plus a fresh 3/4" gas line running directly from my meter to my heater, plus a small filtration system added to my water supply line.  It was a lot of work, but everything was working perfectly when the guys were done.  And I was extremely happy to have hot water in my house again.
Today, three months later, everything is still working perfectly.  I'm extremely happy with the supplies I ended up purchasing and think they are a significant upgrade to my house.   And with everything still operating perfectly, without a single issue, I'm pleased to say that I'm very happy with Tristan and his work--and all the people at O'Brien Plumbing.
Great job at a great price.  Me and my family really appreciate it.

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. 

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

To keep your toilet from clogging, you can use less toilet paper. You can also use a liquid toilet plunger to break up any clogs and keep the toilet drain and pipes clear. When it comes to a clogged toilet, the best route is prevention by using less toilet paper and making sure the mechanisms are all working properly.

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