"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

Food grease, soap buildup, paper products, and tree roots often cause serious clogs.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

You’ll need to stop or pause the machine using its control panel to start the draining process mid-cycle. Remove the items inside, turn off the power to the machine, and then follow the steps above to drain the machine manually.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
