"Was polite and professional but didn't have the tools needed to properly unclog my underground gutter drain which was clogged with roots. Tried a mechanical auger that he had but that was all he could do and only pulled thin roots which helped but didn't completely unclog the drain."

"Excellent service. The technician (I am blanking on his name) was very professional. He looked at the issue (clogged drain), gave me a couple of options, we chose one, he proceeded with unclogging the drain and voila, no more issue. Thank you!"

"Excellent! Sterling was prompt, courteous, and professional in the way he went about the job, explaining each step and telling me up front what the cost of the effort would be. He cleaned the clog and left no mess whatsoever. I would highly recommend his business and would seek his help again for another plumbing problem."

"This was an excellent experience, especially because we had to do this in the middle of winter.  Their price was similar to another very good company we interviewed.  Two other HVAC folks came, promised quotes, and never followed through.  GAC was very professional and helpful throughout the whole process.  It's nice to deal with a company whose office staff responds with genuine concern for our situation (we ran out of oil a bit early and they gave us a tip on just using diesel to tie us over to the date of the installation AND they came out to restart the oil furnace properly).  They were the only ones who said that we needed to reposition the AC coil and that the previous set up was obstructing air flow; indeed, after they did this, we can tell a big difference.  We also ran into some unexpected issues, like where to put the furnace condensate line (bc it is a high efficiency furnace) bc we do not have a basement drain, and they had to make an extra trip to come up with a good solution so the line would not freeze outside. Another issue was our thermostat line that required them make an extra trip to install an extra gizmo on the furnace so it could talk to my thermostat upstairs, etc.  So... (1) the installation was done very neatly and efficiently; (2) despite 3 extra trips to the house to address unexpected problems, we were not charged for those; it was just part of the overall package, which GAC honored as their commitment--the issue of extra cost did not even come up.  I appreciated that old fashioned professionalism and commitment to doing things to the customer's satisfaction.  We will use them all our HVAC needs, maintenance, etc and are happy to have found such a great company."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Start by unscrewing the overflow valve, which is located on the wall of your tub between the floor drain and the tub spout. Gently insert a plumbing snake down into the pipe, move it back and forth, and pull it out. Remove any hair, debris, and soap scum that comes out with it. Repeat the process until the snake comes out clean, and then reinstall the cap on your overflow valve.

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.

Costs vary by severity and access requirements. Typical pricing ranges from $100 to $350, increasing with complexity or for emergency services.

If you've discovered a rather frightening buildup of brown and black gunk below your shower cover, you're not alone. The smelly sludge is often a collection of mildew and biofilm. Biofilm comes from the breakdown of soap scum, hair, skin cells, and bacteria that collects during shower time. It's quite common in a humid space and relatively easy to clean with a gentle DIY cleaning solution such as baking soda and vinegar.

Yes, frozen pipes can cause a toilet to stop working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which can lead to two main problems. First, the supply line to the toilet tank may be frozen, which prevents the tank from refilling with water after you flush. Second, the drain pipe itself can freeze, blocking water from flushing away. As a temporary solution for a non-refilling tank, you can manually add water, but this is not a long-term fix. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try pouring warm water into the toilet bowl or tank and then flushing, as the warm water may help thaw the ice blockage. Ultimately, the best course of action is to unfreeze the affected pipes to restore your toilet to full functionality.
