"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!"

"Patrick showed up on time. Put clean "booties" on his feet. I had a few issues, and didn't know how he was going to quote my issues: 1) clogged bathroom sinks, mysterious water on floor on lower level 2) water pressure. Cut to the chase. He suggested I use a product for the clog; found the water issue, (a/c condensation drain clogged, and need new faucet. He could have quoted 3 different and large sum amounts. he didn't. His integrity was paramount. He showed me everything he was looking at and doing. I was involved in the process understanding WHAT and WHY he did the things that needed to be done or did. The cost was reasonable and fair. HE IS MY PLUMBER!"

"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."

"Kenny came to the job in Bethesda MD to repair an old leaking galvanized pipe and clean the drain with an auger. He gave a fair price estimate and did a quick and thorough job. Quite knowledgeable and professional."

"Very happy with what Rema did. He came on time, analyzed the problem, and cleaned the clogged drain for exactly what he said it would cost the night before. He was careful, methodical, and very professional. He was also very neat and cleaned up as he worked and after he was finished. He will be the first person I call for any plumbing problems in the future."

"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 questions, answered by experts

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

Coke and other sodas do clean a clogged drain, so this is one of those urban myths that has some truth behind it. Coke and similar sodas are caustic and will provide some cleaning power to your drains. However, the power of soda pales in comparison to dedicated cleaners or even baking soda.

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

Sometimes, the drain is just too clogged—thanks, stubborn hair and soap scum. In this case, you’ll need a more powerful drain cleaner than you can DIY safely at home. But this doesn’t mean you have to choose a traditional drain cleaner. 

You can find biodegradable drain cleaners at your local home improvement store or online for those drains that need a little more oomph

While on the hunt for a formidable drain cleaner, the best options are non-chemical clog solutions that combine enzymes and bacteria.

There are many things that could cause your basement floor drain to back up. One significant cause of a drainage backup is flushing non-flushable items, such as wipes, paper towels, and facial tissue. Other causes of a backed-up basement floor drain include tree roots impeding the drain pipe or an accumulation of hair, oil, and grease.
