"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

A washing machine should drain the water used during its cycle through a drainpipe and out through the house’s plumbing. This is the same plumbing that sinks and shower drains run to, and if the U-bend is installed correctly, it shouldn’t smell. The total drainage from the house is then integrated into the city sewer system or, if you’re in the country, dispersed into a septic tank.

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.

Yes, you can use hydrogen peroxide to unclog a drain. Instead of using a baking soda and vinegar solution, you can use baking soda with hydrogen peroxide. The process to unclog a drain is the same as with vinegar, but use 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide instead.

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.
