"Showed up on time and were very courteous and professional when speaking about the project. Snaked the main sewer drain, one toilet and replaced one toilet. When using a snake to unblock a toilet, they made quite a mess on the walls. Was never cleaned by them or told about it before they left. Found it after they finished the job. The toilet they installed runs after flushing. Have to constantly wiggle the handle after flushes."

"Ivan was terrific. He had to access our main sewer line by pulling up our toilet due to us not having an outside cleanout. Within 90 minutes we went from having completely backed up drains to everything being back in running order. He was extremely professional and will definitely be our go-to plumber from now on."

"Ross was very kind and kept me posted on his findings. Very professional and personable. He went above and beyond. There was the convenience of paying over the phone and my invoice-with pictures of the sink draining-were sent via email. I highly recommend Mr Rooter and specifically Ross!"

"I was pleased my project could be completed the same day as request (cap off softener pipes in the garage). There was some question is this was possible and when which I needed to follow-up on. Techs arrived quickly and completed the project promptly, leaving the area neat and clean. Based on the seemingly simple and brief work, even after applying the HomeAdvisor offer, I was shocked at the high cost. I ended up using them a 2nd time to replace a water heater (during COVID). They worked with me to select a lower-cost water heater, which they picked up from the retailer instead of being forced to buy their more expensive unit. Installers wore masks as requested and did not enter the home. They have since joined a large plumbing **group** (ZPlumblers), but still gave me a local business card for the future. Will definitely use them again!"

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.

Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

If the drain pump on your washing machine is continuously draining, it could be that the control board is damaged and requires repair, or there’s a clogged or kinked drain hose. If you can’t locate the problem, you’ll want to have a plumber or appliance repair expert come take a look.
