"The technician replaced my top of the line shower head with a funky, ghetto shower head. It took him less than ten minutes. He charged me 260.00 for ten minutes of labor and a poor, cheap quality shower head. The charge was absolutely unreasonable and I now have a shower head with low pressure - the problem that I was trying to fix. Without telling me he replaced the shower head with a water saver shower head - one of the cheapest around. I fixed the shower head because I am selling my house and the buyer noticed the low pressure on the shower head during the final walk through and asked to have it fixed prior to closing. If the shower head was of high quality, I would have had an easier time accepting the outrageous charge. The service technician wore his boots into my shower and turned on the shower. I had to get a towel for him to clean off his boots. His actions showed that he had little regard for my home or my possessions. He should have worn protective booties before he entered my home. This transaction was highway robbery."

Residential and commercial plumbing and construction services; specializing in plumbing and drain installation, repair and maintenance. *Emergency services offered 24/7; always a free quote!

"Company was recommended by a friend and I could not be happier with the work they did. A complete renovation of a large bathroom where they removed the old tile and replaced with LVP, took out the old corner tub and replaced with a free standing tub, took out my shower insert, then extended the wall out on one side, built a pony wall on the other and then completely tiled it, making it much larger and with a floating bench. Installed new vanities, lights, mirrors and then shiplap on the large wall when entering the bathroom. Looks incredible and attention to detail where everything looks perfect. Could not be happier."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

To unclog a plumbing vent, you first need to locate it. Look at your home's roofline. The plumbing vent will be a vertical pipe sticking straight up from the roof. Since this pipe runs all the way to the main drain underneath your house, you should also be able to find it in the attic.

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. 

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

You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. Sewer line replacement costs about $60 to $250 per linear foot.
