"Excellent service with reasonable price. I have had different estimates from different plumbing companies such as Walter Anderson, Bill Howe, and 60 minutes. I called Arthur Walters, the service technician, right after I got all the estimates and he came at 7:45 pm the same day. He was excellent with my 2 years old son. He gave us honest answers and we were happy with his performance. Free estimates, no overtime charges, and within reasonable labor charges. I think this company deserves the BEST award. I have heard many great comments from my customers at my business about this company."

"Having had whole home water treatment systems previously, we decided to get one installed after about a year living in a home in Carmel Valley. Our water was very hard, leaving rings around toilets and lots of soap scum on glass shower doors. We would drink the water from our refrigerator's built in filter, but not from the faucet. We had previous bad experiences with salt-based water systems (water tastes salty, it's not good for you, and it's a pain to maintain the salt in the system) and good experience with conditioning anti-scale systems like One Water provides (good results and no maintenance). I called the office, and Jen set me up with an appointment a week later for Kevin, the owner to come out to explain the system and installation options. He provided a quote with an Angie's list discount. After reviewing other options for a day, we called the office to provide a deposit and set up an installation appointment. The installation took place one week later. The installer came to the house in the 9-10am window that was promised and finished just before noon. Upon completion he checked the water for me and provided the instruction manual (there really is not much maintenance because they do a free check up every year) and what to expect over the next several weeks. It has now been just over 6 weeks since installation. Our experience has been very good and I'm happy with the performance of the system. We can drink water from any faucet. This makes it much faster to fill up water bottles for school lunches and sports (no more waiting for the small stream from the fridge). Hair is more manageable. My daughter says her eczema-prone skin feels softer. The shower doors are staying spot-free with use of Shower Clean spray after showering. The toilets are also staying clean, we are using a bleach tablet as recommended. This company was very easy to work with and I would recommend them.

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Costs vary by severity and access requirements. Typical pricing ranges from $100 to $350, increasing with complexity or for emergency services.

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

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.

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.

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe.
