"Adam , the plumber , is a professional. He explains the issues patiently and logically . My sewer line was clogged up and he used the snake and camera to show me the roots that were causing the problems . He recommended hydro blasting the line in order to remove roots. He responded within minutos of posting on Angie's list. He was puntual and started the job on a Saturday afternoon and completed on a Sunday ."

"We had a large cast iron sewer line under our house that needed to be replaced. Several plumbers in the area would not even take the job. They had several glitches with scheduling, but once the crew showed up they did the work in one shot, even staying overtime to complete the job. The team was courteous, hard working and did a quality job. Site was left clean. I would use them again."

"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!"

"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."

"Leo was prompt to respond, flexible with timing and personable. I had intermittent noisy pipes and he tracked down the location quickly and fixed it. He insisted on cleaning up despite me telling him I would take care of cleanup. I highly recommend Leo. Nice job"

"This is the third time I have used Albert Nahman. This time was for a water leak with an unclear origin. They did a great job diagnosing the problem and took the time to explain what they found and offer options on potential fixes. I really appreciate the care their plumber took in tracking down the problem and providing a realistic quote for the cost and time to fix the problem. They also arrive on time and do a great job cleaning up after the work is done. A+++ company. Will definitely use them again the in future."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you’ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.

Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair. 

You may have a clogged gutter. Downspouts can also clog if your gutter collects too much debris. Hire a professional gutter cleaner, and if you still have problems, install a gutter guard (which prevents debris from entering your gutter system) and a downspout extension (which helps drain water further away from your foundation, so it doesn't pool near your house). Follow these tips to keep your gutter downspouts clean.

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.
