"After careful camera inspection of the drain pipe, crawling under the house, mapping the location of the drain pipe and potential obstacles, Vito described the proposed project in easy to understand detail. He was professional, credible, friendly, articulate, punctual, and finished ahead of schedule. He and his crew cleaned up the site each day very well. Vito did all the work quickly and very efficiently It was a pleasure to watch him work. He took many pictures showing the work he was doing under the house. and emailed them to me as well. The cost proposal was excellent and realistic. I plan to hire his company again for other plumbing projects."

"If I could give Mariano and his crew at Cal Finest Plumbing Inc a higher rating I would. The whole process, from the initial inspection/quote, through scheduling, and all of the work was handled with the highest level of professionalism. Communication was consistent and clear. Everything was thoroughly documented and shared throughout the process. The work was done well, efficiently, and as discussed/agreed upon. All while providing the best price for a large job (sewer and water lines replaced throughout the house). Mariano even helped us find someone to do a few other projects as well. HIGHLY recommended."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Chemical drain cleaners can work to clear clogs in pipes, but their use should be approached with caution. These harsh chemicals can damage pipes over time, and they can also harm the environment. Use them sparingly and consider alternative methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. If you have concerns about a persistent clog, it's best to consult a professional who can safely and effectively address the issue without causing further damage to your plumbing system.

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.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups. 

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.
