"My water heater was leaking and I needed it fixed asap because we had no hot water and I have small kids at home. Robert came, he saw the problem and fixed it fast and efficiently. He was professional and polite and the price was right. I will definitely call him again in the future. And have recommended him to family and friends. Thank you Drain Right Plumbing!!"

"We highly recommend Green Arrow Plumbing. Our clogged drain was due to the corroded cast iron drain pipes original from 1957 and Cornelio replaced them in short order. While he was here, he also fixed two toilet flushing problems which two handymen had been unable to do. Cornelio was very knowledgeable, his rates reasonable, and it was a pleasure to work with him."

"“Sugar Bear Plumbing” definitely lives up to its name! Plumbing is a messy job, but Lawrence definitely added “sugar” to what was a an unpleasant and stressful situation. He discovered a “slow leak” behind our middle unit’s shower wall that had caused a lot of rot & water damage. We had to replace plumbing, shower tiles, bathtub & flooring in one unit and water-damaged ceiling/drywall in the unit below. I am a small property owner in SF. My husband & I occupy one5 & and rent out two units in three-unit Edwardian, so our situation required appropriate communication with tenants & timeliness on the part of contractors. Lawrence understood, was always communicative, ensured workers showed up on time, stuck to the plan and finished the job on schedule. Sugar Bear is “not the cheapest or the most expensive” plumber out there, but Lawrence works on a flat-rate basis & really knows what he is doing, having apprenticed with his father and having been “in the business” for 25(+) years. Check out Sugar Bear Plumbing's site and video!!! Also, workers cleaned up as much as possible each day and sealed off working area. The only thing we noticed was that the tile/drywall sub-contractor was a bit messy & we had to scrape patches of dried joint compound off shower rods, floor, tub, tile, etc and had to remove white, dusty handprints from the tenants’ hallway walls. But, drywall/tile installation is by definition a messy job & I suppose one can’t find/clean every little spot on a tight schedule. In short, I found Sugar Bear Plumbing to be forthright, forthcoming contractors who were able to be flexible and deal with problems as they arose. I feel I found a real “gem” in Lawrence. BTW, He also took a lot of pictures & was very helpful when it came time to deal with our insurance company."

"We've been working with Mike Counsil for over 8 years - clogged drains, water heater, new toilets, and most recently a sewer re-pipe. Yes, they may be more expensive than other companies, but with Mike Counsil you get what you pay for - quality work. A big shout out to Rudy and the whole team - they are hardworking, reliable and courteous."

"Gerardo was great: on time, courteous, explained and cleaned up things well. I was able to get a same-day appt. which worked out really well for me. After cleaning my clogged drain he was able to fix an old shower hot water faucet that was worn out. The only thing that would have been nice is to have a written receipt before Gerardo left the jobsite. He said his office will send me one."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.

Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.

Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.

Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners, avoid pouring grease down the drain, and check for leaks under the sink.
