"Showed up on time and openly discussed original reason for the call. I mentioned that my drains had gotten plugged up over the weekend and they took care of it right away. Very professional and courteous. Left everything nice and tidy. I will certainly be calling them as the needs arise."

"We called the company late in the afternoon and they were willing to come out to take a look at the job immediately. Due to a prior engagement though, we made the appointment for the following day. Matt and Nick came out, looked at the job and discussed our options, and we arranged for the work to be done the next morning. Matt and Nick stayed in contact with us, calling and giving us updates as to â the planâ and their arrival time. The team arrived promptly and ready to get the job done. Two old, leaking outdoor anti-siphon spigots needed to be removed from the exterior brick face. The interior copper piping had to be cut in order to remove the old bibs and install the new ones. The guys performed this part of the job precisely and neatly! New bibs with a flange were installed on the exterior without any damage to the bricks. Great job guys! Steve, Matt, and Nick appeared to work great as a team and completed the job in an efficient, timely manner. All work was completed professionally and neatly. Everything looks really nice, inside and out. The team also gave us what sounds like a couple of good recommendations for additional work we would like completed. We will definitely use Steve Beaton Plumbing again. Thank you so much guys!"

French Drains 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.

Bleach is generally not recommended for your shower drains. Although diluted bleach can technically help clean your drain, it will not unclog your pipes. In fact, bleach can harm your plumbing system because it’s so powerful. The bleach can change the color of your sink and even corrode metal pipes and fittings.

Often, people reach for bleach because it's already in their house. But it's worth getting a plunger or a drain snake for the job instead. It'll be a lot less money to buy a new plunger than to pay a plumber to repair or replace damaged pipes.

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.

You can unclog an AC drain line for free if you already have these household ingredients: water, vinegar, and rags. Alternatively, if you’d rather not deal with the mess, you can hire a pro to clear your drain line. If you go that route, an HVAC service call costs between $100 and $250.
