"Excellent customer service. Needed a special size HWH to fit the space and Justin was able to find one and install in under 2 hrs. Competitive pricing, all inclusive whereas several quotes from competitors did not include drip pan or other parts. Clean up was immaculate. Definitely recommend."

"After several calls back and forth concerning diagnosis and estimate of the job. The calls dropped off because of scheduling and I never got the estimate. I thought they were reputable, friendly and really don't know what happened. I would try to connect with them again in the future and see if we could close the deal."

"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."

"We hired this service to wash our 2600 sq ft beach home after a hurricane. Brandon was prompt and professional. He worked non-stop for 4 hours. He did the job on short notice in order to accommodate our schedule. Our house and windows are nice and clean, and Brandon even scrubbed our driveway. We would definitely have him back again. And we are going to spread the word among our neighbors at the beach."

"John was recommended to us last year by a neighbor who had his bathroom completely re-done.  He was very happy with John's work, so we called John about a leak in our kitchen.  It was a roof vent that had been damaged during a storm.  John replaced it and the leak was no more.  After that, raccoons and squirrels damaged the screening on our porch.  John came over and replaced the screening and some of the wood that had seen better days.  The job was very well done, and no creature has been able to break through the new screen.  After that was complete, we asked John if he could replace the siding on the shed.  Then he pressure washed the house and screen porch.  All of the jobs were thoroughly done with a minimum of mess.  John cleaned up his work area every evening after he had finished for the day.  John is a very ethical, professional man, and I will continue to ask him to work for me.  I recommend him highly to any person who wishes to engage his services.  By the way, I expect that the shed will still be standing and in terrific shape many, many years from now.  The work is of excellent quality!

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly.

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.

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.

Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair. 

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.
