"Paul and John were able to come the same day I called for a clogged drain with sewage backing up into my shower. So disgusting. Within a half an hour everything was cleared out and cleaned. He even cleaned the screen on my faucet and cleared a slow drain in my sink. Paul had given me a price range and charged me the lowest estimate. They were prompt, polite and I would highly recommend Ace."

"I have used Your Plumber for work at my house, hair salon and my parents house and have been extremely satisfied every time! They have now installed a new water heater system at my house, an outdoor spicket, unclogged pipes in my hair sinks and are currently fitting out all the plumbing at my new salon. I always had a hard time finding a good plumber but Kyle and his team are now the only people I will call! Not only was the work done well and in a timely manner but I found the guys to be incredibly professional and the cost to be very fair. It was also super easy to book online and their receptionist, Christine, was really helpful and so sweet!"

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

While technically possible, it is unlikely that a clogged toilet will fix itself. Clogs caused by water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water, allowing flow to resume. However, this can take time, and any clogs from solid objects require manual removal. In most scenarios, especially if you don't have another bathroom, it is best to fix the clog yourself or call a plumber.
