"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! 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 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!"

"The team came out the Friday before, 1/8/16, for an estimate and they arrived on time. They quickly got to work and had an estimate written in about 20 minutes. The tech answered all my questions and the price was well below the other 4 estimates i received for the exact some model. we decided to go with them and on monday 1/11/16, i called and they booked me for 1/16/16, which was impressive. On the install, the same tech that gave me the quote came to do the install which was very nice as he was already familiar with my system. he to work right away. he was prompt, clean, and professional during the entire install. another tech arrived in the middle of the install to handle the electrical work and he too was prompt, clean, and professional. the entire install took about 3 hours. in the end, the humidifier was installed and worked perfectly. 
i would def recommend this company for other services. in fact, just the week after, i used for an emergency service ($185) as the back plate of my nest failed and was causing my heat and AC to be on at the same time. the tech arrived quickly and had solved the problem very quickly (in about an hour). 
as i said, i would def recommend this company."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

Baking soda and vinegar aren’t just great for making a volcano for your kid’s science project. You can also pour this dynamic duo down your shower drain to dissolve hair clogs. If that doesn’t do the trick, you can step it up with a commercial liquid drain cleaner. 

An AC drip pan may stop draining if there’s a clog where the drip pan connects to the drain line. Clogs can form from a lack of cleaning or from rust or corrosion buildup. Cleaning the drip pan at least once per month lowers the chances of debris clogging the drain line.

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.

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.
