"Tony was very pleasant to work with. He accommodated my schedule, even with a big winter storm that had just rolled through. Tony and his team finished the project in about a day and a half and I couldn’t be more pleased! Not only was the job exactly what I needed/requested, but it was a very neat and clean job. His team respected my house and left the work area spotless. I will definitely call Tony if I ever need anything plumbing related."

"I was in desperate need of a plumber. I was doing a DIY remodel and had a strict deadline. Demo was done and I got to a point where I was not experienced or confident enough to do. Mike should up the next morning and layed new pipes for shower and hooked up new shower pan and drain within 3 or so hrs. I was thrilled! He saved me and I'm able to finish on time! Wife is happy. Thanks Mike"

"I hired Jason on friends recommendation to redo master bathroom. It was during covid. Incredible job! He was on time every day, immaculately clean, went extra to get things from store so I wouldn't have to, knowledgeable n professional. I then had him do a partial redo on half bath. Have used him for leaks, clogs, drippy toilet, installing grab bars. I highly recommend him. I trust him. He is efficient, clean, knowledgeable, respectful, professional. I would never use anyone else. When he commits, he is there and on time. You will never find anyone better! Carol B"

The quality of his work was excellent, and he made sure everything was completed correctly and left the area clean when he finished. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his customers. I highly recommend Leio to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy plumber!"

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.

Vinegar is better for an AC drain line because it’s less corrosive and won’t damage the pipes. It’s also a safer and easier product to use. Bleach should not be used on your AC drain line because it can corrode your pipes and harm the evaporator coil in your air conditioner.

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.

A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.

If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.
