"Al did an excellent job replacing the faucets(bibs) and drain for my laundry closet. He even patched the cut-out sheet rock that needed to be made for the replacement. Other plumbers I got estimates from would not do the patching. Also, he replaced the cartridges for my shower valves. I’ll definitely call him again for any future work."

"Wilmar Plumbing was very responsive and empathetic towards my situation. They had to fix a problem caused by the previous plumber who installed my shower/tub drain incorrectly. I couldn't shower due to the leak. They treated my case like the emergency it was and Wilmar and his team showed up first thing. They fixed it diligently. They were so good, I hired them to install new bathroom sinks. These guys are great!"

"AJ with Chandler Plumbing arrived on time and quickly cleared our slow bathroom drain. AJ was professional, friendly and respected our home. The price was well below what we expected. I will definitely use Chandler should the need arise again. Highly recommend."

"The folks @ Mike Counsil have done work for us in the past, including the heater installation and unclogging/cleaning a backed up drain. Any time we've had work done by them, they are always right on time and very professional. They get the job done and clean up after they're finished to ensure there's no clean up for the customer. I highly recommend them for all of your plumbing needs."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.

No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

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.

Yes, chemical drain cleaners contain sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, both of which are not only dangerous to your health but also extremely caustic. Drain cleaners will corrode your pipes and could lead to destroyed drain lines, especially if the chemicals interact with the piping for long periods. Unfortunately, this extended interaction is likely if you’re dealing with a clog, as the drain cleaner will have just as much trouble as water does moving through your plumbing system.
