"After our Rheem water heater from Home Depot, only a few years old, failed for the second time during winter, we were left without hot water. I found The Water Heater Company on Yelp after feeling overwhelmed by options, and from the first call, Kariana was polite, professional, and quickly arranged same-day service within a few hours. Justin, the technician, was on time, extremely knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain what was going on, our options, and the pros and cons without pressure. He recommended a more reliable Bradford White system, had it available the same day, and restored our hot water within hours. His professionalism, care, and attention to detail — even offering to clean up afterward — truly stood out. To top it off, his supervisor later called to personally thank us for our military service. Outstanding service from start to finish."

"I spoke to Ruben who gave me a call and explained to me exactly what I was talking about in more words I could understand and he set up an appointment time with one of his guys name Levi. Levi came within the time frame I was quoted, looked at what needed to be done, went to get the exact parts that was needed and did the job. Levi was very explanatory about what he did and how it was an easy thing to get done. Levi was kind and resourceful. I would hire him again if and when I need anything else to be done on my house. Thank you so very much Levi. We appreciate everything you have done for me with the job. 😀😀😀"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Start by pouring hot—but not boiling—water down the drain. The heat of the water may be enough to break down the clog. You can also try ½ cup of dish soap or 1 cup each of white vinegar and baking soda. If you choose a chemical unclogging product, ensure it’s appropriate for toilets to avoid damage.

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.

Even if the shower drain doesn’t seem clogged or dirty, plan to clean it out about once per month—or more frequently if you or your family shed a lot of hair. It’s a good practice to remove any hair from the drain on a daily basis, as hair can accumulate fast and cause clogs in no time. You may also want to have a plumber thoroughly clean the drains in your home once every six months.

Bleach—even diluted bleach—is not always the safest option for cleaning your drains. With a high pH, bleach can be highly corrosive to many types of pipes, especially when used regularly. When mixed with household cleaners and organic waste, it can also create dangerous chemicals. Remember to use proper protective equipment and ventilation when dealing with bleach.

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500
