"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."

"These guys are amazing! Not only did he drain the line, but he also cut down an ill-fitting drain cover to keep it from clogging again. Will definitely keep their card on my fridge. (This will happen again! Lol)"

"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

If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

Start by pouring hot—but not boiling—water down the drain. The heat of the water may be enough to break down the clog. You can also try ½ cup of dish soap or 1 cup each of white vinegar and baking soda. If you choose a chemical unclogging product, ensure it’s appropriate for toilets to avoid damage.

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
