"We had a leak and drainage issues with our sump pump in the basement, leaks from the main pipe coking from the toilet, and our bathroom sinks would not drain. Jason and his Plumbing 911 team quickly fixed the issues in a professional and expedient manner. Truly grateful. Will hire again."

"The plumber appears to have done a good job on the installation.  The problem with the service has to do with the price quote.  I called three different plumbing services for price quotes on this job.  They all quoted the same brand of pump and all added a contingency that would depend on the length of copper piping needed to connect the pump.  I wrote down the name of the business, their phone number and their price quote when I called them.  Integrity Plumbing had the middle price quote but very near the lowest price.  They were also able to come the soonest so I called them and requested the service.  I guess my mistake was not verifying the price quote when I called the second time but I have never had this kind of problem with a supposedly reputable service provider before (especially one on Angie's list).  He came to install the pump and provided prompt, efficient, courteous service.  Then he said the charge was $100 more than the quote.  The quote was $475 and he charged $575.  When he told me this, I checked the paper I had written my price quote notes on to see if there could be a mix-up.  The companies and their phone number were all separate, along with their individual quotes.   When I request a quote on the phone, I repeat the price and write it down at the same time.   I own several rental houses and have called contractors for quotes many hundreds of times. In previous years I had requested quotes in writing after I had gotten them over the phone and never encountered a situation where the contractor changed the price.  I never imagined a contractor on Angie's List would do something like that.  Now, the counter-point to this situation  is that I misunderstood the price.  I don't think that happened for a couple reasons.  First, Integrity Plumbing was the second quote I received and it was $75 lower than the previous quote I had just gotten.  It was not just a random price in my mind; I was comparing it to another quote.  Second, I wrote the price down.  I suppose it's possible to say one number and write a different one at the same time but it's highly unlikely.  So the bottom line is this.  Integrity Plumbing performed good work but I think they changed the price of the service from the original quote.  Oh, when I mentioned this to the plumber while he was he at my house, he denied any possibility of him providing a different, lower quote on the phone.  I have no way of proving what his original quote was but I will never use Integrity Plumbing again.  And I think they should change their name.

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500

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.

Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.
