"Fast, Clean, Efficient, Feasible! This is an easy review to write when you have a professional on the job. Titan Plumbing Sewer & Drain was on site ready to swap out our old tank and install the new one. Also, was aware of new housing codes and installed an Expansion Tank. He could of easily changed the thermocouple just to get by but did not recommend doing so on a 10+ unit. Do it right once and call Titan Plumbing Sewer & Drain. We were so happy with their service! Easy to recommend them"

"Ralph and his team were very helpful and friendly. They came quickly to clear the main sewer drain within the hour of when I called to inquire. They were efficient and tidy. Ralph communicates what needs to be done clearly as well as the results of what they did. I would definitely utilize their services again."

"I had a clogged basement bathroom drain that another company was unable to fully resolve. I called 123 Sewer & Drain, and Mohamed came out on a Sunday morning. He accessed the line from the basement toilet flange and found multiple clogs that had not been fully cleared. What stood out was his thoroughness. He kept working until the line was fully cleared, then tested everything multiple times. He left the cleanout open and had me run all upstairs faucets and flush toilets to confirm that water was flowing properly to the sewer before wrapping up. Everything was done the right way — no shortcuts and no upselling, just a straightforward and professional approach. It’s refreshing to work with someone who takes the time to do the job right and makes sure everything is fully working before leaving. The issue has been completely resolved. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend their services."

"They encountered a problem that did not respond to the standard treatment, so they had to work longer, "figure it out", and bring in other equipment. They did, and they refused to charge me any more than their standard price for drain clearing. Outstanding service."

"Abraham did an excellent job of getting clogged bathroom sink and a shower stall working again. He additionally changed some old pipes in the basement. I particularly appreciate the fact that he took his time to tidy up after self and didn’t leave us with a mess. I would hire him again."

"I had a severely clogged drain in my basement sink and the water was backing up. A previous company that I hired was not able to clear the blockage. Vannes came to my house on a Sunday and spent a good amount of time and cleared the blockage. I would definitely use this company again. The technician was very neat and polite."

"We have used Gene from Preferred Plumbing on several occasions. We had a water heater replaced and multiple faucets, hose bibs changed or repaired, and drain / sewer clogs. Gene was responsive, courteous, and explained the issue and required work clearly. The work was completed without issues and reasonably priced. I recommend Gene (Preferred Plumbing) for any plumbing issues / work."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

The best drain cleaners are biodegradable ones or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Strong, caustic chemicals may seem appealing with promises of unclogging your drain quickly, but liquid drain cleaners can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.

Yes, chemical drain cleaners contain sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, both of which are not only dangerous to your health but also extremely caustic. Drain cleaners will corrode your pipes and could lead to destroyed drain lines, especially if the chemicals interact with the piping for long periods. Unfortunately, this extended interaction is likely if you’re dealing with a clog, as the drain cleaner will have just as much trouble as water does moving through your plumbing system.

Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. 

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.
