"I was interested in a French drain system. Matt pointed out to me that that was not the cause of my problem. He advised me on what to test out and was relieved to find that a simple non-plumbing remedy fixed my problems. I hope that all of your employees are as honest and caring as Matt. Based on my experience with him I am quite positive I will be contacting when a plumbing issue does occur."

"Jared did great, very professional and knowledgeable, showed up on time, gave me several no pressure options, cleared up several questions and assumptions I had, performed efficiently on the option I chose, snaked our pipes about 75 feet several times, showed me the clog(s) he encountered, reassembled and flushed the system, and then had me run the washer drain cycle to make sure the sink gurgle was gone. Also pointed out an anomaly with the subfloor sink drain and explained how it should be. Great encounter, would definitely have Jared back if more service needed."

"Great drain clearing service by Jordan without all the bait and switch add-ons provided by the lower cost services. His charge included camera work before and after, with the best guarantee: no payment if he can't clear the line. He uses more powerful equipment than the cheaper services. Don't fall for the $95 service offered by others -- I tried them and they are a scam. They come out, use their lower power equipment unsuccessfully, and then try to get you to upgrade for major repairs. This guy is honest from the start and gets your line cleared in one visit."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

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.

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary.
