"Replaced 50 gallon natural water heater and an additional 6 feet of copper piping. Removed old water heater and cleaned up afterwards. Completed within 2 hours. From start to finish the process was painless and easy. All interactions with office personnel via email and over the phone were professional and friendly. Tim, my technician, kept me informed throughout the entire process. He also took time to discuss and advise on a couple other plumbing items within our home. Great guy, great service, great company."

"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."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

Coke and other sodas do clean a clogged drain, so this is one of those urban myths that has some truth behind it. Coke and similar sodas are caustic and will provide some cleaning power to your drains. However, the power of soda pales in comparison to dedicated cleaners or even baking soda.

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

DIY plunging or drain cleaning chemicals may help minor clogs, but professional hydro jetting ensures long-term solutions.

Pouring drain cleaner down a vent pipe isn’t recommended. First of all, unlike a clog in a sink or bath caused by such material as soap scum build-up, toothpaste, and hair, clogs in a vent pipe are likely the result of debris from trees or even an animal stuck in the pipe. Drain cleaners won’t be able to eat through this kind of material. The cleaner will only become clogged in the vent with the debris, causing even more problems.
