"Everything went fine. RJ and Angel were promptly on the job. They explained what they were going to do. During the cleaning process they showed me the progress via their sewer line camera. I am very pleased with the work and appreciated their professionalism."

"We called John’s Plumbing and Drain Service to replace our old water heater and pressure regulator. John came out, gave us a quote. Since we were doing more than one item he offered us a package deal. Due to high pressure our water heater was busted. After replacing regulator and installing a new water heater the issue was sold. John did the job with reasonable price. He is very knowledgeable. I will highly recommend John’s Plumbing Company."

"I contacted California Drains because my parent's home was completely backed up to the point where dirty water was coming out from the drains inside and outside their home. They promptly answered and booked me in the same day. They were able to contain the water from continuing to come out of the drains overnight and returned the next day first thing in the morning to get the problem fixed. Price was very reasonable, and the workers were very professional. Left everything clean and drains were completely cleared. It has been months since they came and there has not been an issue since. 10/10 will highly recommend to family and friends."

"I highly recommend True Blue Plumbing. I have hired them 3 times. First time to fix a water main leak and main shut off, second to give me an assessment of the sewer line, third to fix toilet and main shut off valves at another property. Everyone is so professional and their price is very fair. Their finished work is very clean and you can see that they take great pride in doing best work. I enjoyed working with them and they will continue to have my repeated business and recommendations."

"Completely re-routed all the plumbing for my house. After sewage backup we found 2 bellies in the line and clogs - First Thought came up with a plan and knew exactly what to do - they double and triple checked their work and were kind and courteous the whole time while explaining every step along the way (even with pictures and camera video) - Will definitely be using them for all of my plumbing needs in the future. No more plumbing concerns here!"

"Before we could connect a new clothes dryer, we needed to replace our old spring-loaded gas valve with updated shut-off valve. Also, needed new flex aluminum vent, rigid under house. Alvin at All Season responded quickly. He and his co-worker came out, checked work to be done, and got right on it! Alvin also recommended that we change out old drain stand pipe to 2" for the new clothes washer. So we had him do that, too. We asked Alvin to check our water heater settings. Then he noticed we needed flex tubes and water installed valve replaced, which should have been done when this water heater was installed. So Alvin took care of that for us. Alvin is very nice, professional and patient; a pleasure to work with."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

Start by pouring hot—but not boiling—water down the drain. The heat of the water may be enough to break down the clog. You can also try ½ cup of dish soap or 1 cup each of white vinegar and baking soda. If you choose a chemical unclogging product, ensure it’s appropriate for toilets to avoid damage.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.
