"Ryan was perfectly on-time and was a plumbing scholar and a gentleman. We had a simple drain replacement under a new sink. Going to Western saved me at least another day of trying to figure out proper parts and doing the install myself, and it also saved my wife's ears from hearing my salty language."

"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 had 2 project with this vendor. Jose & Alex both came to the rescue. 1st was a quote and later water heater install. Then had a old cast iron drain clog that required replacement. They were professional and skilled. I am happy with the service and their fair pricing. Don’t bother shopping around and waste time give them a call directly."

"Capped an old water connection in my laundry closet and closed it into the wall, as well as changed the connection box around the drain hose to make it more flush with the wall. Looked like the water connection was never there when they got done with it, and the connection box/drain hose looked great as well. Definitely recommend!"

"Juan came to the house and installed a new gas valve controller for my RHEEM water heater. He honored his over the phone price quote, and did a great job. He even checked my water pressure. No run-around here, just the honest truth from True-Blue Plumbing."

"Daniel was very nice and very fast. Answered question on phone for me first. Then scheduled within a day or two came earlier than scheduled time but was ok we were fine with that. He was done within 20 minutes maybe. Reasonable price for us saved us the pain of getting under sink to replace our faucet . Will call again for any other plumbing repairs. For sure. Highly recommend them for repairs. And just installing thanks again we appreciated the help Andra and mario"

"Complete professionals. I work with many plumbers in my line of work, and you can always tell the good ones from the bad. Some are strong on service but weak on communication, while others communicate well but constantly push back appointments. Emergency Drain Pros excels at everything. I’ve used Tony and his team multiple times and consistently receive excellent service."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

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.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

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.

The best drain cleaners are biodegradable ones or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Strong, caustic chemicals may seem appealing with promises of unclogging your drain quickly, but liquid drain cleaners can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.
