"Our kitchen sink has been acting up (clogging and backing up) since we moved into this house some 4 years ago. Other local plumbers have come in and tried to solve the issue but none of them were successful. One actually recommended replumbing from the kitchen outward. Thankfully a friend recommended Drain Mechanics. It started with a simple phone call and scheduling process. They had a slot available in one day! The "window" was between 9 and 11 am - hours that we really needed to abide by due to work schedules. Dan, the plumber who was assigned to our job, showed up literally right on time. He called 15 minutes before the window started and advised he was on his way - and he pulled into our driveway right on time. Awesome start so far. Now here is what separates Drain Mechanics from the others. Dan listened patiently to what we've been through. He watched videos my wife had made and he discussed all of the possibilities. From worst case to most likely, he didn't start taking action until he had enough info to take informed actions. He assessed the situation, scoped the issue and immediately recognized the true issue. There were large clogs deep into the drains that had built up over years and prior plumbing visits had basically pushed the mess down further but had not freed it up. It was at this point he gave us the good news; it was not going to require replacement or anything major. He was going to get it fully unclogged. He worked for a solid 45 minutes using water pressure to push the mess down and out. And it was obvious that his efforts were successful. Noises of freed clogs sounded from the drain as his work paid off and the drain was cleared. He then tested, over and over, to ensure that his work was fully successful. It's been over a week now and we've had NO problems since he worked his magic. Dan and Drain Mechanics understand what it means to take on a job and to get it done right. And we are truly thankful that we now know a plumber who we can trust, with reasonable rates who still cherish the American ideal of doing a good job. Thank-you Dan - job well done by any measure. And thank-you Drain Mechanics for having people like Dan on your payroll!"

"Ricky came to do a simple repair to the drain in the kitchen sink . Took him a few minutes. He asked if I had any other concerns since you have to pay hourly rate might as well make use of the time. The faucet on the sink needed minor fix so he fixed that as well. Nice guy. I would hire him for future work."

"?????????? Absolutely Outstanding Service! I can?t say enough good things about Family Plumbing! I had a major drain line breakage, and they came out right away to diagnose the issue using their camera inspection equipment. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and honest ? no guessing games, no upselling, just clear communication and quality work. They walked me through everything they saw on the camera, explained the cause of the problem in detail, and gave me options that fit my budget. The team worked quickly and left everything clean and tidy when they were done. It?s rare to find a company that truly cares about both their work and their customers, but Family Plumbing exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone in Jensen Beach or the Treasure Coast looking for reliable, trustworthy plumbers. I?ll definitely be calling them again for any future plumbing needs!"

French Drains questions, answered by experts

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. 

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.

Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. 

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.
