"FIVE STAR COMPANY .... First visit from Brooks Plumbing was on May 13th 2015 to run a new gas line so that I could use my gas dryer. They were able to accommodate my schedule and be available to do the job on the day I moved into my new house. They showed up on time and were very professional and did a top-notch job. They accommodated my request to switch location of the washer/dryer because of how doors opened. It was a little bit of a challenge since the dryer set up was where I wanted the washer. I have to say that plumbing is not really all that exciting but the way that the washer/dryer was hooked up and vented looked awesome ... very neat and clean install. Next 2 visits in August 2015, Johnathon installed 2 bathroom faucets, a kitchen faucet, a reverse osmosis water filtration system, a shower bar, and a roman tub faucet with handheld, The prices were good especially for the quality of workmanship. Very professional service, everything that was done was done well I plan to call Brooks Plumbing for any future plumbing needs and I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends."

"Very professional service. Price was as quoted and less than local competitors. Showed up a little late but contacted us to let us know he was running behind first. Took about an hour to complete the work. Would definitely use them again."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

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.

To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load.

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.
