"I called DR Draining and told Dan what my problem was, he said he would see how busy his crews were doing on their schedules, and he'd call me back . When he called back he said they could be there today but it would be late when one of the workers would arrive. I said if tomorrow would be better it would be fine with me. Dan said they would be here, shortly after noon , and they would call before they arrived . Justin called hand said that he would be here in 40-45 minutes, he arrived right on schedule. He asked me a couple questions about what the problem was, I showed around the basement and where the bathrooms were, and at that point he went to his truck pulled out the tools he was going to need and started working. He came and got me within 40 minutes and said he was finished. He said the drain was cleaned out and then had me fill up the kitchen sinks we then pulled the drain plugs and flushed both toilets at the same time. There was no back up in the basement wash basin, which showed me that the problem was taken care. When I have another drain or plumbing problem I will be calling DR Drain Cleaning and will also ask if they could/would send Justin if he is available. I was very happy to have the problem resolved, the quality/neatness of the job, and the price was reasonable. Thanks OldGWer"

"Came out on time. Presented two offers. Snaked drain and used camera to detect any other blockage. Cleaned up after. Had to come back a second time to install a part they needed to order. Did a great job."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they’re usually U-shaped).

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.

If you drop jewelry down your sink, it can cause a clog, especially if it accumulates other debris on its way down. However, that is the least of your worries if you drop your favorite jewelry down your drain. If your gold band goes tumbling down the sink drain, don’t panic—refrain from running more water down the sink, and follow the steps above.

A saturated leach field can result from various underlying issues, so it's best to call a professional septic company to diagnose and treat the problem. Depending on the cause of the saturation, potential fixes include pumping out a full septic tank, adding more bacteria to the tank, or regrading the soil to fix low spots. It may also be necessary to reroute rainwater and runoff away from the leach field using gutters, downspouts, and extenders. Once the primary issue is resolved, planting specific types of vegetation over the area can help absorb excess water. In more severe cases, you might need to install a larger septic tank or replace the leach field entirely.

If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.
