"Tim is a good communicator, keeping me updated as per his time of arrival. He arrived on time, respected our home by placing protective coverings over his boots without being asked. Performed tests to replicate and confirm the problems I stated and snaked the upstairs drain through the shower to clear the obstruction. His pricing is on the higher side curve for these services although we were very satisfied with the service provided. I would recommend and refer Tim Campbell to others."

"The owner and co-worker came out yesterday for a quote and they were very honest and professional and being that they had really great reviews, I went with them. They came out today and had the work done in 3 hours (we had a hot water heater relocated from our laundry room to the garage) and fixed 2 outside faucets that haven’t worked in a long time. With that being said, when I say they were professional about everything, they were! There was no mess from them at all, they cleaned as they went which goes a long way in my book. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone that needs any sort of plumbing work done."

"Our drainage project with The Oak included hooking up 6 downspouts to underground PVC pipes and routing the pipes through our yard. We also had them move a rain barrel, build a stand for it, and hook it up to a downspout. Jesus from The Oak spent a few hours helping us to scope the project. He sent us a detailed quote and revised it once we had talked through more options. Jesus and Leo completed the work in four days with great communication throughout, and attention to detail. The drainage project was on budget - slightly under actually - and the rain barrel stand was harder than expected but they let us know and we approved a small budget increase. Our experience with The Oak was great and I would hire them again if I had another drainage project (I don’t right now because they did it all!)"

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Baking soda and vinegar aren’t just great for making a volcano for your kid’s science project. You can also pour this dynamic duo down your shower drain to dissolve hair clogs. If that doesn’t do the trick, you can step it up with a commercial liquid drain cleaner. 

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.

Yes, short hair can clog a drain. While you might be tempted to blame the long-haired people living with you for a clogged drain, hair—no matter the length—can combine with soap scum and leftover shampoo to create a perfect storm of sticky mess that can cause your drain to slow down. 

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.
