"Adam is amazing. He came by same day and handled business. He is very knowledgeable about plumbing and it shows. He helped educate me on the health of my pipe systems and encouraged me to move forward with high pressure snaking which cleared out the obstructions and got our plumbing back. So grateful to have been helped by Adam!"

"Nickolas came out to clear a clog in my drain line. He made multiple attempts to clear it for the lease amount of cost to me. He was very professional and efficient with his work. I would hire Discount Plumbing again if I need any other plumbing work."

"Carmelo did an excellent job on installing a gas fitting for my new dryer. He installed the fittings and got my dryer hooked up. He went above and beyond and also helped me light my pilot light on my water heater! He explained what he would do, performed the work and cleaned up after himself! Great job Carmelo!"

"Pro plumbing showed up at 9am exactly which was very considerate since I’m not a early riser. They got to work right away. Our water main had broken and they were replacing the entire line so we would not have this problem again. Our line ran under our second driveway and they ran the line under it without have to tear up the concrete. I was very grateful for that. They did a fantastic job. The price was more than reasonable. They were polite and friendly. They cleaned up after the job and they provided an invoice and warranty. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family."

"He spent 3 days in my house. My house is old and built in 60's. The last house in the neighborhood. Pipes were old and no drain especially to my house all went to the city pipe. I want to recommend him very highly. Pricing was very reasonable to all of the work he do. I would recommend him to anyone who ask. He is wonderful and polite. The two people who work with him was also polite. All of them are extremely polite."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

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

Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages. 

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.
