"I had an excellent experience with Goodfellas Sewer and Drain. They recently helped me with a complex kitchen sink issue, taking apart the drain piping and garbage disposal to rod and clear the drain. They worked efficiently and left everything clean and properly reassembled. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident from start to finish. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any plumbing needs and highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable, thorough service!"

"I was pleased with how efficient and personable Joe was, but I was expecting to pay about one hundred less than what I was charged. I’m pleased that the problem was fixed and my clog is gone. I would hire this company again because I have complete confidence in Joe’s ability and repair work."

Customers say: True professional

"After trying several home remedies towards the end of a week we decided to secure professional help on a Saturday. Charlie returned our call within minutes and arranged to come towards the end of the day on Saturday. He explained what he was doing, was efficient, discovered and replaced an unrelated rusted pipe and cleaned up the inevitable unrestrained water from nearby surfaces."

"I called Above and Beyond Sewer and Drains regarding a bad smell coming from the drain in my kitchen. From the very beginning, Jamie was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain what might be causing the issue. He walked me through the process and clearly outlined the steps his crew would take once they arrived. The team came out promptly and used a camera to assess the problem. Adrian began the work the very next day and completed the entire job that same day. He was professional, efficient, and took great care while working in my home. The job was completed neatly with no damage to my carpeting or surrounding areas. I am very pleased with the service I received and would highly recommend Above and Beyond Sewer and Drains to anyone in need of honest, professional, and high-quality drain and sewer work."

"Once they located the main drain line, they did a really job of clearing it out. However, they left the debris from the drain line in the front yard and left deep tracks in the front lawn from their equipment."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Plumbers use a variety of tools to help unclog the toughest of drain clogs, but the most common tools they use are drain snakes and augers. They try a plunger or drain snake to start, then move to heavy-duty augers, and finally try using a hydro jetter to blast away the clog with high-pressure water. Hiring a plumber to unclog a drain costs $125 to $300, largely depending on the extent and location of the clog and which of these methods is best for clearing it.

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

If you leave liquid drain cleaner for too long, it will start breaking down your drainpipes. The chemicals in these cleaners can cause cracks, corrosion, and leaks in your pipes. They can also damage plumbing fixtures and even cause environmental damage if left too long without rinsing away.

You can often unclog a garbage disposal in less than 10 minutes, though sometimes you might need longer if you’re unsure what’s causing the clog. For minor clogs, consider plunging the drain, flushing the drain with baking soda and vinegar, or using an Allen wrench to free the clog. If the clog is more severe, contact a local plumber.

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.
