"I had roots in the drain pipe along with a crack in the pipe under my deck. First visit they cleared the pipe of roots and the second visit installed a sleeve through the pipe to prevent future problems. Both visits were very professional and when they were done they provided a camera view. This allowed me to see their finish product."

"Benjamin Franklin is a great business. The only reason I went with another company is they could not replace my water heater immediately due to the weekend."

"We had a clog in our kitchen drain, which we were unable to remove ourselves with plunging and chemical drain cleaners. I called on a Friday morning. Burkhardt plumbers arrived at my house at 3:00 that day. They were polite, professional, and careful about cleanliness. It ended up being a more complicated job than just a drain, as our original 1959 plumbing was configured in a complicated way. They were very knowledgeable about figuring out how everything was put together and how to find the clog, which was in a pipe in the basement, nearly 40 feet away from the kitchen sink. After using an auger from the kitchen sink, they hit a T-joint through which the auger refused to go, so they took the auger to the basement, opened the drainage pipe that leads to the sewer pipe, and inserted the auger there. That's where the major portion of the clog was. They ran the auger up the pipe this time and got past the T-joint. After they had cleared the clog, they were very careful about cleaning the auger as they removed it from the pipe. Then they went upstairs to the kitchen and reassembled all the drain pipes under the sink, which I had removed before they came in an attempt to fix the clog myself. They did a great job! They patiently explained everything they were doing, so I could learn and better understand my house's plumbing. They explained how to prevent future clogs, what to do and what not to do. These are great guys! The next time I have a plumbing problem, I know who I'll call."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a DIY drain cleaner with baking soda. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear. 

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups.
