"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 had Phil come to our house on a Sunday to fix an emergency major clog in our drains. Not only did he fix the problem (and an additional one we created trying to fix it ourselves before calling), he explained to us what exactly happened and what needed to be done. He also pointed out some issues the people who built our house created so that we can correct them. We are happy to have found a great plumber."

"I live in a rural area and it is extremely difficult to find reliable and responsible yard and home improvement help. It was such a sigh of relief to actually work with someone who is honest, fair and has a good work ethic! I have a large yard that is sloped and bordering woods that was very overgrown with brambles and saplings that was bush hogged, my two story house gutters were cleaned and two small trees were cut down and debris removed- all on the same day while I was at work. I have to say I was a little nervous about what I might find, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of the work done was everything that I had hoped it would be and I already have plans and estimates on more things that need to be done around my home and yard.

Drain Cleaning FAQs, 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.

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.

There are a few reasons your snake won’t go down the floor drain. One common reason is a large obstruction in the drain that is causing a blockage. You can remove any debris you see in the drain before trying to snake it. In addition, the snake might not be long enough to reach the clog, or it might be the wrong diameter. 

It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.

Your clothes—and your washing machine—will send you a few signals if you’re overdue for cleaning your washing machine filter. If you notice a buildup of detergent residue on your clothes, your clothes don’t dry quickly or at all, or you’re noticing lint in the machine, it’s time to clean the filter.
