"We had been dealing with our shower slowly draining for about a week. After reading their reviews, we called California Plumbing. They used a hydro jetting machine to clear out years of buildup and our shower is draining much quicker. So satisfying!"

"My shower faucet was not left in the manner it was before the service. The new piece that was put on was loose. And water was still leaking after. It was just as bad as before the service after the repair. And they drain cleaning price is expensive compared to other companies who offer specials for it."

"and Ryan are icing on the cake!!!Today we went to use our kitchen sink and noticed it was clogged. We tried everything but nothing worked. We had used Liberty in the past and were VERY happy with them. We called Liberty around 2:30 pm and our sink was fixed before 4 pm!!! Jeremy and Ryan showed up and were fantastic. Not only were they punctual, they were extremely professional. They knew exactly what they were doing and wasted no time in getting the job done. They are both nice, friendly and they do quality work. Liberty is our "go to" for plumbing problems. Jeremy and Ryan are just the icing on the cake. We highly recommend Liberty Plumbing.

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You can unclog a double kitchen sink by plunging the side with the garbage disposal. Cover the drain hole on the other side first to avoid creating a mess. Plunge up and down until the water starts to drain. You can also pour in baking soda and vinegar to try and dissolve a clog. 

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

You can try several easy methods to unclog a drain, one of the easiest and most effective of which is to use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. This will help dislodge and dissolve the clog to move it down the drain pipes. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Dump several cups of boiling water (or hot water if you have PVC pipes) into the drain and let sit for up to one hour. Run hot water to clear the drain.

A saturated leach field can result from various underlying issues, so it's best to call a professional septic company to diagnose and treat the problem. Depending on the cause of the saturation, potential fixes include pumping out a full septic tank, adding more bacteria to the tank, or regrading the soil to fix low spots. It may also be necessary to reroute rainwater and runoff away from the leach field using gutters, downspouts, and extenders. Once the primary issue is resolved, planting specific types of vegetation over the area can help absorb excess water. In more severe cases, you might need to install a larger septic tank or replace the leach field entirely.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.
