"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."

"Star Plumbing came out on a Sunday evening at exactly the agreed upon time. He was very pleasant, professional and knowledgable however he did not have the equipment necessary to clear my clogged drain. His longest snake was 50' long and the clog was more than 50' from the snake's entry point into the drain system. He initially tried to clear the drain with his 25' snake and when that did not work he used his 50' snake. When that did not work he called a colleague with another company and asked him to come out the next day. Star Plumbing did not accept any money for his attempt to clear the clog. The colleague he called arrived the next day at the time agreed upon and was able to clear the clogged drain."

"We had some questions regarding our shower drain and if we had any blockage. Drain Pro came out and took a look at the shower drain and took the time to explain to my wife not only what was going on with the drain but how our entire drainage system worked. This was very helpful as we are new home owners. My wife was extremely satisfied with the detailed explanation and service. I would recommend this service to anyone who needed assistance with their drain system."

"David & his team with Arcelio did an outstanding job! We needed it done on short notice & they rose to the occasion. And just before a weekend of heavy rains. So our basement went from waterfalls of leaks to dry as a bone, despite the heavy flooding outside. They took lots of pictures of the process so we could see all the work they did underground. They were reasonably priced & did the job done with good attention to detail & pleasing aesthetics with the river stone. We love that they guarantee their work. We're very grateful to have chosen Drainage & Erosion Solutions. We kept seeing their signs & trucks in the Del Ray, Alexandria neighborhood over the years & we can see why others chose them, also."

"Kap from Joseph Plumbing and Drain was great. I requested a quote Saturday morning and they came out within a few hours. We scheduled the work for Friday and they arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did excellent work installing my new main water shut-off valve. Highly recommend."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

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.

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.

Yes, short hair can clog a drain. While you might be tempted to blame the long-haired people living with you for a clogged drain, hair—no matter the length—can combine with soap scum and leftover shampoo to create a perfect storm of sticky mess that can cause your drain to slow down. 

Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups.
