"Adam is amazing. He came by same day and handled business. He is very knowledgeable about plumbing and it shows. He helped educate me on the health of my pipe systems and encouraged me to move forward with high pressure snaking which cleared out the obstructions and got our plumbing back. So grateful to have been helped by Adam!"

"Austin and brother Tyler were polite, efficient and knowledgeable. They were called to clear a deep sink which did not drain and filled with water coming from the kitchen sink. I would call them again for future plumbing problems."

"Jay is very responsive to my inquiries. Jay and George Albert did a very good job in cleaning up the clogs of our bathroom sink pipe and kitchen drain pipe. With George onsite and Jay providing guidance, the trouble shooting of our drain pipe clog was done smoothly and successfully. George is a happy person. He was smiling and singing when working on a complicated drainage clogging problem. We were very happy with the service from Jay and his team. I would highly recommend Jayâ s Precise Plumbing company to work on plumbing jobs. Thanks to Jay and George Albert for their excellent service!"

"They did a number of things. Braced and restrapped water heater and ran copper line for pressure relief to outside. Unclogged master toilet and reseated. Bolted down second toilet. Reconnected clothes dryer vent. Repaired air gap/garbage disposal and drain line under kitchen sink, crawled under house and remove galvanized pipe straps and replaced with nylon pipe clamps. I was a contractor and used to do this work, o an very critical. They did an outstanding job. Went the extra mile several times. I was expecting a bill for a higher amount but they stuck with their estimate. I recommend them highly and would use them again!!"

"I was really impressed with Water Heater Masters. They replaced our old tankless water heater with a new one. I had been thinking of going with a tank, since it's less expensive and we had the space for it, but they rightly pointed out to me that even a large tank wouldn't be able to fill the extra-deep bathtub we have. I was impressed with their professionalism - they showed up on time, did the work as promised and cleaned up after themselves. I have also called them once with a question on the heater, and they were really patient and helpful with answering my questions. I haven't rated them on price because I'm not sure how they compare to other water heater companies. The heater was expensive (to us) but of high quality, and I think it was worth it.

"Premier Plumbing Solutions installed a new Bradford White water heater at my home. Alberto did a fantastic job. He was on time and explained the process to me before work was started. He removed the old water heater. Then vacuumed and removed all cobwebs and dust from the water heater space and a couple of feet away from that area, so the new water heater could be installed in a clean environment. The install went quickly. When finished, all the work, looks professional, clean and modern to today’s standards. He cleaned up any debris and mess made during the install. Alberto did an amazing job. I definitely recommend him and his company!!"
On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.
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.
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.
Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
