"Our kitchen sink was backed up and clogged the night before guests were to arrive for the weekend. We called a couple of plumbers but only Done Right was able to come first thing the next morning. The plumber showed up on time, quickly evaluated the problem, and proceeded to fix/replace the drain line. He was polite and kept everything clean. We would use Done Right Today again."

"Company called immediately after I logged an Angi query. Technician scheduled to come out the next morning, and he turned up early in the 4 hour window. Explained the process and then cleaned out the drain efficiently. Stayed to be sure that the drain worked OK; explained their 30 day warranty, and left after cleaning up."

"Martin and his crew were nothing short of amazing. We live in an old stone home that had the original 1940s bathroom. We wanted to keep the historic integrity of the bathroom, but needed the upgrades that the bathroom desperately needed-new tile, walls, fixtures, shower, toilet- The quality of the work was excellent-Some things that set Martin apart from other construction professionals: 1. They put down drop cloths every morning to protect our hardwoods 2. They cleaned up their area each evening before leaving 3. Their attention to every detail was apparent. Here is an example- They had to reconstruct the window sill in the bathroom. They matched the other window sills in the house, without us having to think about it. They just did it. 4. They communicated with us throughout the process. 5. The actual work product-every aspect-was fantastic As someone who has gone through a fair amount of renovations, I would have to say that Martin's Home Improvement is in a class by themselves."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you’ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you’re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.

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.

DIY plunging or drain cleaning chemicals may help minor clogs, but professional hydro jetting ensures long-term solutions.

When you put baking soda and vinegar down the drain, they chemically react and help break down clogs. It’s not going to work for every type of clog, however. For example, it’s not the best way to get rid of grease buildup. For grease, you should try boiling water and white vinegar instead.
