Q: How long does it take to snake a drain?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-snake-a-drain.htm">Snaking a drain</a> can take as little as a <b>few minutes</b> for small, simple clogs, <b>up to two hours</b> or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour hot water down a drain to unfreeze pipes?

• <div><p>Pouring hot water down a drain can help unfreeze drainpipes, but it may not thaw a frozen water pipe that is completely blocked further down in your plumbing. In some circumstances, it can cause more ice buildup. You may need to use another method, like a space heater or hot towel. If you use boiling water to thaw a drainpipe, make sure your pipes can handle the heat. Over time, boiling water can damage plastic pipes.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my French drain grate from clogging?

• <div><p>There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn&rsquo;t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.</p></div>

Q: What can dissolve hair in a sink drain?

• <div><p>Depending on the amount of hair you&rsquo;ve got in the drain, the baking soda and vinegar method can help break it down. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, you can try using a drain snake. If you don&rsquo;t have a snake handy, you can straighten out a wire hanger and use pliers to fish out the clog.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to unclog a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>You can often unclog a garbage disposal in less than 10 minutes, though sometimes you might need longer if you&rsquo;re unsure what&rsquo;s causing the clog. For minor clogs, consider plunging the drain, flushing the drain with baking soda and vinegar, or using an Allen wrench to free the clog. If the clog is more severe, contact a local plumber.</p></div>

They were good. They cleaned up after themselves, and everything. When they took the old toilet out, they drained any water that was in it so they would not leave a track of water. Overall, they were very good.
