"I called Star Plumbing on a Tuesday to fix a clogged drain in my kitchen sink and bathroom shower. They gave me an appointment for later that same day. They were professional and knowledgeable. They talked me through the work and recommended solutions to keep the problem from repeating. I have experience with several big name plumbing companies over the last 20 some years and Star Plumbing gets my vote as the best I have ever worked with. And, you can't beat their prices!! In fact, I called them the very next day to fix a plumbing problem at my office."

"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."

"Suma responded to our request to snake our basement floor drain. Upon inspection we were quoted a price for the job which we felt was reasonable. The technician completed snaking the drain and then tested it thoroughly to be certain it was clear. Very professional."

"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."

"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!"

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.

Most clogs are resolved quickly, often within an hour. More complex issues requiring pipe disassembly might take longer.

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.

If your dishwasher isn’t draining, some common causes include a clogged drain filter, drain hose, or air gap. Also, if you have a garbage disposal, a clog in the disposal can back up your dishwasher since they share plumbing, as can a clog in your kitchen sink’s plumbing. A handy DIYer may be able to figure out how to unclog a dishwasher, but you may need to call in a plumber if you can’t locate and clear the clog yourself.
