"We were to be the first appointment of the day.  After waiting for some time, we called Tiger to see why the serviceman had not arrived and we were told that he was on the way to our house.  We then waited much longer than it takes to drive from their office to our house.  When the serviceman arrived, we found out that the scheduler had told us an absolute lie because at the time our call he was still in the regular weekly staff meeting which is always held on that day and time.  When he got out of the meeting, he still had to go to the gas station and refuel his vehicle, causing further delay.  The serviceman came and looked at the house and said they charge a flat fee.  Since the man was already here, we paid him $232 in advance and he resolved the problem in fairly short order.  He was polite and professional.  We were glad to have the problem fixed; however, we had to change another appointment we had that day because we were first misled and then lied to as to the time the serviceman could possibly arrive.  We are sorry to be negative in our review, but we feel we must be honest.

"I would recommend Chris to anyone who has a problem with there sewer line. Very intelligent and knowledgeable about the work that he does. I had a clog in my sewer drain, Chris was able to clear it,and show me what the problems were from. He also told me how to take care of the existing problem,so I went have to go through this in the future. Thanks again Chris."

"Exceptional service. On time, polite, respectful, and upfront in regards to pricing. Main line completely clogged with year’s of built up tree roots. When the job was completed, a camera was used to show the whole 100 plus feet of line was clean of roots and debris. Highly recommend ALLN1 Plumbing."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

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.

When you put baking soda and vinegar down the drain, they chemically react and help break down clogs. It’s not going to work for every type of clog, however. For example, it’s not the best way to get rid of grease buildup. For grease, you should try boiling water and white vinegar instead.

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.

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.
