"Wyattworks determined the leak was from the bathroom above. They sealed the floor tub area, sealed the tub drain, and replaced the cartridge to increase the water pressure. They were professional and talked through the process of the recommended service."

"Superior Plumbing was excellent to work with. From the start they stayed in communication, showed up when stated, applied shoe covers when entering our home, were neat while performing the service and fixed the problem very quickly. They were so clean I couldn't tell they were here. Thank you Superior Plumbing!"

"Overall great work by the team. We hired them to come out and install a drain because my driveway kept pooling water when it rained. So they (really just one guy) installed a catch basin and drain to the backyard. We haven't had a rain since, so can't comment on overall quality yet. But I did wash the driveway and the water went to the backyard. They came in at about half price as another company offering the same work. They came out, quote a good price, and did the work all in about 3 days."

"I recently had my 2 bathrooms renovated by Five Star Bath Solutions and their name really says it all. Michael Vineyard and his crew did a fabulous job! Pedro and his crew built me a beautiful shower, installed my floors, mirrors, vanities, shower doors, toilets and various hardware and decorative items. They took great care to be sure everything was just like I wanted it. Alfredo and his painting crew are THE BEST. They made my damaged walls look smooth as velvet. Sharp clean lines and no drips anywhere. Each day, and at the end both crews cleaned up and removed all trash. Michael oversaw everything and went above and beyond to make sure everything was how I wanted it. Thanks to you all!"

"Great Plumbing Service! Had a great experience with All good plumbing I had a leaky pipe under my sink, and they got it fixed quickly. Scheduling was easy, and they showed up on time, which I really appreciated. The plumber was super friendly and explained everything clearly before getting started. The repair didn’t take long, and they made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. Plus, they cleaned up after themselves, which was a nice bonus. Overall, really happy with the service! Fair pricing, great work, and no stress. Would definitely call them again if I ever need a plumber. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"The Safari team was awesome. They replied quickly to my request and were here the next day to pump the tank and the day after to add risers and rejuvenate the drain field. I would definitely use them again and will recommend them to friends. I would have given them five stars for value for money but I need to wait and see if the Rejuvenation of the drain fields worked and that will take a few weeks."

"They did a great job. They were on time, respected my home, he did his work in a timely fashion and clean up after himself, left my home neat."
On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.
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.
In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.
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.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
