"Ray & his team saved our sanity, pocketbook & potentially house. After HORRIBLE expensive experience with American Rooter & Drain, Ray swooped in to save the day. They completed clearing our main line fast, efficient & fair priced. We cannot say enough how grateful we are to have found him & his team. Do NOT hesitate to call Ray for all your sewer needs. We will be singing his praises for years & referring everyone in need of these services to Five Star Service Pros. He brags about having all five star reviewsâ ¦rightfully so Ray. Keep up being an awesome human being!"

"Thomas from Boise Family Plumbing responded to our request for a plumber within 10 minutes. He came out and solved our problem by clearing 4 slow sink drains. He gave us a very fair price and went out of his way to make sure he left the work area immaculate. He will be our go to contractor for any future plumbing issues. Highly recommend."

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.

Yes, chemical drain cleaners contain sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, both of which are not only dangerous to your health but also extremely caustic. Drain cleaners will corrode your pipes and could lead to destroyed drain lines, especially if the chemicals interact with the piping for long periods. Unfortunately, this extended interaction is likely if you’re dealing with a clog, as the drain cleaner will have just as much trouble as water does moving through your plumbing system.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.

Preventing water accumulation involves regular inspections, maintaining effective drainage systems, ensuring proper roof maintenance, and taking preventive measures against heavy rainfall or floods.
