"Aaron from A-Tech Plumbing and Drain Cleaning replaced my 40 year old copper pipes and two hose bibs. He also switched out my 40 year old shower fixture and gate valve. Aaron is very professional and polite. He knows what he’s doing and is quick without cutting corners. I would recommend him, because he has the right tools and is reliable and keeps his schedule."

"Stuart Ackley of Pipeline Plumbing LLC is a really good plumber. Anyone who may have had a hard time finding a good plumber will not be disappointed. Heâ s honest, conscientious, skilled, knowledgeable, and caring. He has an apprentice whom he is very patient in training; and has journeymen who are very skilled.. Heâ s detail-oriented. Heâ s reasonable in pricing. Heâ s hard-working. There are no negatives about him, except that heâ s so good at what he does, that he gets busy. But donâ t let that discourage you from contacting him because he finds a way to help you. Heâ s efficient and neat too (cleans up). Have gone through over a dozen plumbers who have lied, cheated, been sloppy, didnâ t care whether or not they solved the plumbing problemâ ¦. Stu is the only one that I have found to be upfront and knows what needs to be done to solve the issues AND does get everything done to (more than) my satisfaction. I truly appreciate him and his company for the great service that they have provided and definitely will want to use them for any plumbing needs that I have. Thank you very much for listing such professionals like him, AnGI."

"BJ did an overall excellent job on the remodel. He communicated with me every morning about what was to happen that day. His crew was on time and did the work in a professional manner. The quality of the work was excellent throughout the project. Once the job started, I requested some additional work to be done. BJ was able to complete the additional work without any delays. BJ invited me to dinner one night with some of his crew to watch the NBA finals at one of the local resorts. I enjoyed BJ and his crew very much. My wife and I hope to hire BJ next year to remodel the upstairs bedroom and bath."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

To unclog a plumbing vent, you first need to locate it. Look at your home's roofline. The plumbing vent will be a vertical pipe sticking straight up from the roof. Since this pipe runs all the way to the main drain underneath your house, you should also be able to find it in the attic.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.
