"It went very well. The drain backed up several months ago. Plumbing plus cleared it then. When it backed up again recently they followed the clearing with a video inspection. The drain had a flaw from the original house construction. Scott analyzed the problem and knew how to fix it. Scott and Jarod efficiently replaced the bad joint with a free flowing elbow. They cut a clean hole in my driveway. Dug down to the pipe and replaced the bad joint. All that shows is a very neat concrete rectangular patch in my driveway. Good job! Pete"

"I had called another plumber who was a jerk and only gave me a recount of problems. When I called these guys they were there in a hour, and Robert Ibarra did a great job with a smile. He looked at my old Victorian house and found solutions to our problems, and then fixed the kitchen sink, and installed our tiny bathroom sink. We will be calling them in the future!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.

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.

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.

Flushing the toilet only to realize it’s clogged can cause anxiety. To avoid a clogged toilet, use less toilet paper. If you notice that the toilet is flushing and refilling slower than usual, you can use a plunger to clear clogs in the S-trap. If that doesn’t work, call a plumber to check your system and possibly clear the drain lines.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.
