"Workmen were very professional and courteous, cleared the drain and installed a new showerhead with hand held shower. I am satisfied. However they did not wear masks as other repairmen do."

"Benjamin Franklin responded to our request for service the morning after we called and left a message (the evening before). Notified us that a plumber would be sent earlier than the scheduled appointment if he became available sooner. Call service rep was very friendly, explained how the service call would be handled (and the costs). Acknowledged on-line coupon credit for service call resulting in diagnosis and repair as necessary. Plumber (Jordan) arrived on time, was very courteous and friendly, took measures to keep house and work area clean, explained the work recommended and costs. Repair was made expeditiously and a two year warranty on parts and labor was given. The service was pricey, but the result and the plumber's professionalism were exemplary--and the response time to our needs was very good (not an emergency). We have used Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for many of our plumbing needs--both water and natural gas and have been pleased every time. Again, pricey but very reliable."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Biodegradable drain cleaners use naturally derived ingredients, such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water, which bacteria and other microbes can break down. Unlike conventional cleaners that rely on corrosive bleach (sodium hydroxide), biodegradable options are gentler on fixtures and less harmful to the environment. Because they don't release harmful gasses, they are also safer to use, especially in households with children, and do not require the same safety precautions as bleach-based products.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.
