"Sterling was professional and extremely knowledgeable about ALL of the plumbing issues in my home. He was able to install a new sump pump, clean out the drain and even adjust some pipes where necessary. I highly recommend him!"

"What started out to be a shower installment and faucet replacement turned out to be a HUGE job. During the job we found the water pressure was extremely low due to pipe corrosion and improper installation when the house was build (1952). Dave had his guys fix me up...they even had to bust up 2ft over rock in 90+ degree weather. My plumbers guys Jim and Billy were awesome. I owe them a lot for completing this for me. And they talked me through everything along the way and cleaned up every night to perfection. THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! Couldn't asked for better."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary. 

If your washing machine drain is clogged, that isn’t a good sign. Unlike toilet drains or kitchen sink drains, there isn’t matter that is easily broken up with a plumbing snake, and more care is required. If you’re in an old house or have mineral-rich water, there could be a buildup inside the pipe. Either way, if the blockage isn’t obvious and doesn’t dislodge with a snake, you need to call a pro—otherwise, you risk damaging integral plumbing.

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

Drain clearing removes debris and clogs from drain pipes enough to allow water to drain properly. On the other hand, drain cleaning removes all of the material from the pipe so that water flows unrestricted, which is a longer-term solution. Your plumbing pro will be able to recommend the right service depending on the clog size, frequency of issues, and surrounding pipework.
