"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

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.

A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.
