"The workers were very professional. The water heater was too tall for the space, and the worker said if he could cut a hole in the drywall to give enough room for the pipe to fit. He cut a small hole, and you can barely see it. Thank You Roto Rooter!"

"I feel like I had the A-Team working on my driveway project. We had Steve the Field Inspector who identified all the troubled areas. Everything Steve told be about the process, what the team would be doing, and how it would be done. It was all true. When Bryce and Joe showed up. We reviewed the project once again to ensure agreement. The guys got to work. They extended to some drain tile, cleaned out all the cracks, let the polyfoam do its job, and finally sealed all the joints. The result was picture perfect just as I hoped it would be. Thanks Foundation Recovery System team for a great job and a great experience."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

You’ll likely pay between $300 and $450 to unclog your toilet with Roto-Rooter. However, the price could change depending on if the clog has caused a lot of damage, which your plumbing pro will want to inspect during your service appointment. Keep in mind that you won’t get a quote from Roto-Rooter over the phone. They have to send a pro out for an in-person cost estimate. You can also attempt to snake your own clog for a lot less, and simple drain snakes cost no more than $50.

Sometimes, the drain is just too clogged—thanks, stubborn hair and soap scum. In this case, you’ll need a more powerful drain cleaner than you can DIY safely at home. But this doesn’t mean you have to choose a traditional drain cleaner. 

You can find biodegradable drain cleaners at your local home improvement store or online for those drains that need a little more oomph. 

While on the hunt for a formidable drain cleaner, the best options are non-chemical clog solutions that combine enzymes and bacteria.

To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load.
