"I’ve had issues with my outdoor drain clogging. Alex helped me schedule an appointment and ensured me they would have the equipment to high power clean my drain. Sure enough the technicians showed up and were able to clear my drains same day. I’m very pleased with their great service!"
The a/c unit on my roof had been making a loud noise, and when I saw the $39.00 tune-up from My Plumber, I contacted them. I received a prompt reply from the company. Jocelyn called me; she was friendly and professional while setting up the appointment. Billy, the tech, arrived on time and put booties over his shoes before entering my home ... that always impresses me, and I appreciate the consideration. Billy went about conducting the tune-up, explaining to me what he was doing every step of the way. I was surprised when he pointed out that the furnace was installed in 1979! He gave me his written findings, and three options as solutions to reduce the noise on the a/c unit on the roof. He explained the options, and patiently answered my questions. I decided to have the work done, and was quite happy that he had the parts with him, so that I wouldn't have to make another appointment. I would recommend this company, and Billy without hesitation or reservation. Customer service is excellent and I was very pleased.
"Scott Fanatizzo was our plumber. First he turned off the water going to all the toilets. Then went outside to check the pressure valve to the house. It was not working and the pressure coming through the house was the same (121) as from the city to the house. After installing a new pressure valve outside, he checked all the toilets inside and found that only one needed the inners replaced. Problem solved. Scott was polite, neat and efficient! He called and left a voice message alerting me that he would be early, plus I received an email from the company telling the name of the plumber that would be doing the work along with his picture. Awesome customer service!! Great company!!"
"Well. Work done quickly and efficiently. Was hoping same person could supply bid on other plumbing drain issues, but he could not. Pricing was a bit high."
"Had a slow drain for months and thought it was a clogged drain. I knew Mickey through an apprenticeship program and called him to take a look. Mickey was extremely thorough and found the issue quicker than most plumbers! While it turned out to be a failed sump pump and a much bigger job, Mickey got it done quickly and at a reasonable rate."
"Wanted to hire them to do some camera service on a landscape drain. They recommended that the drain be cleaned before it could be viewed with the camera."
"Great job. Anthony did a complete review of the house and the current venting and recommended the proper size for the AC. The installers and electricians came 3 days later, did additional wiring and piping and installed the entire system in 5 hours."
"I called Ly's Plumbing due to a leaking pipe inside the wall behind my water heater. Within the hour that I called, he arrived. He was very thorough in assessing the issue, and explained what he would need to do in detail before repairing. Price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend him."

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts
It takes hair about two years to dissolve on its own in the drain without the use of any tool or help. Fortunately, using a drain snake, plunger, or any of the actions mentioned above to dissolve the hair will help get rid of the clog in as little as 15 minutes.
No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.
Professionals use snakes, hydrojetting, or chemical cleaners to clear blockages effectively without damaging pipes.
Anything you drop down your sink runs the risk of damaging and clogging your pipes. Hair, bits of food, and other debris can catch on the item and build up over time, causing a clog. Even if it’s not valuable, it’s definitely worth trying to retrieve the item, or at the very least, asking a pro for specific advice.
If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.
