"Paul and Adam were great! Chris got me on the schedule the same day my bathtub trip waste and overflow broke. They arrived as scheduled even in the midst of a snowstorm. Friendly and professional. They covered their shoes when they came in and cleaned up before they left. They installed a new trip waste and overflow and fixed the drain. My bathtub is fully repaired and draining like it should. Thank you to Paul, Adam and the Capital Plumbing team! I will use them for my future plumbing needs and highly recommend Capital Plumbing."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

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.

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.

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.
