"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."

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"Shortly after moving into our new house, I began hearing a knocking on the side of the house every morning.  After a few weeks and a bit of freaking out, we finally saw the culprit - a woodpecker had made himself a lovely condo in the trim of our chimney.  The hole was closer to the second floor of the house, but too far from a window for me to reach. 

I called a contractor who had been referred by our realtor, and after getting a very vague and non-committal "estimate" from him, checked with a second company.  The second company's estimate was very open ended (paint, paint matching and "any additional supplies" were extra and not estimated) and referenced "wood rot" when I specifically told him that it was woodpecker damage.  My third try was with Care and Repair. 

David called me right away, and was very patient with my concern over the welfare of the bird - he actually researched the best way to re-home a woodpecker!  The estimate I received was for $106 and included all supplies - even paint that matched my house. He was very detailed and thorough in explaining what he was going to do, and even had plans B through G ready should plan A not go the way he wanted.

The final bill was $135, and the price difference was thoroughly explained - once David was able to get more than a "birds eye" view of the hole, it became apparent that there were actually three holes.  He completely cleaned out all of the bird's "furnishings"  (feathers, twigs, grass, etc) and cleaned out the bits of the wood that had begun to deteriorate, then filled the whole thing with wood epoxy.  The next day, he came back and sanded, primed and painted over the repair.  You can stare at that space all day and never see that it was once the beginnings of a woodpecker apartment complex!

Care and Repair's bill for this work was comparable to the other two vague and open-ended estimates I received from the other two companies.  They are courteous - you know they're actually listening to you. They're fast and neat (in and out, with no mess left behind) and they're dependable.  If they say they'll be there - they're there.  I would definitely use these guys again - in fact, I have!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.

Yes, frozen pipes can prevent a toilet from working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which means your toilet tank won't be able to refill after a flush. This will prevent the toilet from flushing again. Depending on which lines are frozen, the ice can also block the drain pipe, preventing water from flushing away.

As a temporary workaround, you can manually add water to the tank for each flush. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try filling the toilet bowl or tank with warm water and flushing to help thaw the ice. However, the best long-term solution is to unfreeze the pipes to get your toilet back in working order.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

Drain fly problems can go away on their own—but only if the insects find the environment inhospitable. Those with a minor infestation can simply flush their toilets and run their faucets more frequently to flush out the flies and larvae. Others will have to deep clean their drains and set up traps.

There are a few ways to unclog a toilet without a plunger. Break up the clog with homemade solutions containing soap, vinegar, and baking soda, or simply let hot water spend some time in the drain. You can also use a two-liter soda bottle filled with water to push pressurized water into the pipe to dislodge the debris (see the steps above).
