"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."

"Within 5 minutes of putting in the work order I received a call asking about my situation of the past 2 days of backed up plumbing and a "pool" in my shower, each of the toilets, and bathtub!! My house literally smelled raw sewage. I let the receptionist know, then she said she would report to her boss. Within maybe 15 minutes I received the call from the boss and he asked me several more detailed questions. He then told me his team would be here as soon as they finished the job they're on today. YES TODAY !! I spoke to 4 other companies they all said 1-2 weeks!!! The team showed up both were professional and they actually had personality which is unique now adays. Within 2 hours this awesome team checked, deduced, hydro-jetted, and found 2 issues of the reason for the clog and back up. So not only was this company and each person I spoke with polite, professional, and personable... The price was lower than any of the other companies !!!! I can't say enough praise for my encounter with this company"

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Even if the shower drain doesn’t seem clogged or dirty, plan to clean it out about once per month—or more frequently if you or your family shed a lot of hair. It’s a good practice to remove any hair from the drain on a daily basis, as hair can accumulate fast and cause clogs in no time. You may also want to have a plumber thoroughly clean the drains in your home once every six months.

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.

Professional tools include drain snakes, hydro jets, cameras for line inspection, and enzymatic or chemical cleaners for dissolution.

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.
