"I had to have sewer drain pipes under my slab foundation replaced. I got quotes from two vendors and chose Drain Masters as they understood the effort needed and provided reasonable options using newer techniques to cut down the cost. Felix was the lead for my project and did a great job. He was very communicative and managed his team and the project well. There was a follow on fix needed which they identified when doing a final check. I would not have ever noticed it but they did and took care of it quickly. I highly recommend."

"He called immediately even though it was after 5 pm. He showed up first thing the following morning as it was already getting dark when I had called. I sandbagged in the meantime. My atrium patio was flooding during the recent rainstorm because the yard drain in front was clogged. He brought the right equipment and his pricing was fair."

"I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Ismael arrived right on time, immediately put me at ease, and took the time to clearly explain everything before and during the repair. What could have been a really stressful clogged drain issue turned into a complete anxiety-free experience thanks to his professionalism and calm approach. The work was done efficiently and thoroughly, and quickly. 10 outta 10 would definitely recommend! Thanks Ismael!"

Drain Cleaning questions, 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. 

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

The cost varies from $150 to $600, depending on the severity of the clog, pipe access, and required equipment.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to clean your linear drain every two to three months to prevent debris buildup. However, if you notice it draining slowly or an odor from your drainpipes, it’s best to clear the clogged drain and maintain it more often. If you let a clog go for too long, you may have to invest in the price of professional shower drain cleaning, which costs about $225.
