"This was the second plumber we hired to help with a clogged drain in the kitchen. They went above and beyond and fixed the issue the first plumber didn’t! They come and explain what they will do, they do it as cleanly as possible and they explain at the end what they’ve accomplished. I’ve already hired them for a second project (replacing a water heater), and again it was such a great experience! I highly recommend and will be using their services again!"

"these guys are ingenious. My drain was a head scratcher for the tech but he thought out of the box to unclog the drain and went on his way. not sure any other company would have done the same. Thanks Hunt!"

"We actually hired J Hoss for two jobs, and they did a great job with both! Both were tricky operations involving the plumbing of an old beach house, and they came up with effective ways of dealing with every issue. The hot water heater install involved moving an old hot water heater out of a crawlspace and putting a new one in in a closet, and the plumbing lines were a bit wacky due to the way the cottage had been added onto over time. But they solved the problems without tearing out any walls, which was great. The other job involved a DIY project installing a bathroom vanity that we got halfway through before realizing we were over our heads. They were game and jumped right in and worked with us to complete the job. We loved how they collaborated with us and were so cheerful about our amateur efforts! Definitely will hire again."

"I hired Richard's Drain to clear a clogged drain. However, when he arrived, he spent a good deal of time examining my problem to determine whether I needed my line snaked or not. He helped me see where my problem was and that I did not really have a clogged drain. He charged a minimal (fair) fee for his time. I was definitely happy to have an honest plumber that was not going to charge me for unnecessary services. I will definitely use him again."

"I had a major drainage issue and the owner spent hours clearing drain and detected a problem on the city side as well. Talked me through who to notify and followed up with me to make sure the work was done. He did a few other plumbing issues as well. Would definitely use him again and have already recommended him to family and friends."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes—your local septic company can clean your septic leach lines with a sewer jetter, a device that pumps high-pressure water through the lines to blast out any clogs and scum buildup. Unless there’s a clog or blockage in the lines, however, you do not need to perform this maintenance regularly. Do not attempt to clean your own leach lines, as you could easily damage them, leading to very costly repairs.

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

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.
