"Was already in the neighborhood and first to call back. In about two hours he had arrived and cleared the floor drain backup. Even told me how to tell the difference between when the floor drain backs up due to a malfunction (and how to clear it) or a drain line clog. Was the latter this time. Not just fast and efficient, but also got a few tricks on first step troubleshooting to know if It's something I can easily clear in 10 seconds or not."

I was very satisfied with their punctuality, professionalism and courtesy, transparency and quick completion of the projects. Would absolutely use the again and refer them to others."

"Fast and efficient. They sent someone out the next day and I know they were very busy. After he left I thought I found another drain in the floor. He came back but but I was mistaken. He just laughed and said it was fine. He wanted to ensue they got to everything. They could not have been more accommodating!"

"I called contractor to get estimates for needed plumbing. Arrived a few minutes late but I received a call prior to arrival that would be late. After arriving Chuck reviewed the options for fixing plugged sink and leak in pipes and gave me estimates for fixes. They were reasonable so I said he could go ahead with the work. He was able to do the work at the time so I did not have to reschedule appointment. One of the requirements was to remove a broken disposal and disconnect from disposal switch. While removing the switch plate cover he accidentally broke it. He called the office and another person delivered a new one for him to replace the broken cover. He completed the work and cleaned up work area. I was very satisfied with the work and Chuck was very helpful and professional.

"Ben was amazing. He called ahead of arriving and arrived on time. He always put booties on his shoes to ensure he didn't track in the house. Alwqys had drop cloths down to minimize cleanup and did an amazing job cleaning up after himself when he was done. On top of that he was friendly, conversational, and gave sound options and advice so we could make informed decisions that work best for us. Will definitely be using them again."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

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

Common causes include hair buildup, soap residue, food particles, and foreign objects. Older pipes can also contribute by facilitating buildup more easily.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

You can pour hot water down your gutter drain to melt ice and keep ice dams from forming. If the problems persist, consider investing in heat cables to run in your gutters. Heat cables can adjust based on the surrounding temperature to keep ice thawed.
