"Mario was very knowledgeable. I thought he needed to start inside at the back of the house, but he determined that the clog was between the front of the house and the main in the street. He opened the clean out in the front of the house and snaked until he got through to the street. I was pleased that he persevered and unclogged the drain. I would call him first when I need plumbing services. Thank you Mario!"

"I used Angie's List to look for a plumber and was quite apprehensive based on reading so many negative reviews about how many dishonest plumbers are in Albuquerque. Albuquerque Plumbing, Heating & Cooling called and left a message for me and I called this morning. My toilet wasn't draining, after repeating plunging. Fore Gen Plumbing called and told me their starting price is $129 and I wouldn't find a lower price. They were wrong. Albuquerque Plumbing, Heating & Cooling quoted me $75 for auger service, from the toilet side. The auger didn't work, so the plumber offered $105 drain cleanout service. When the clog was cleared in 5 minutes, he told me the $105 included a 90-day warranty, free reservice if I have any more clogs, leaks, issues. Corey did an outstanding job, very impressed with his professionalism, courtesy, honesty and integrity. Not only did he call ahead, arrived early, he wore a mask and shoe covers."

"After having a nightmare of a granite countertop install, I couldn't get the plumbing figured out on my own because the new sinks were so much deeper. After breaking the cleanout plug trying to get it off, it was time to call a plumber. No issue right? Wrong! I tried Angies List, no one would answer or return calls, and the two that did couldn't do it for a week at least. We were without a sink for 4 days already, so we decided to try Home Advisor. With others here doing the same, I called N & J's and they promised me they would get by the same day and fix the issue, that they were going to be in my area anyways. They told me they'd be by at 3, or sooner if they could, but would call me if it changed. I came home from work at 2:58, and they showed up 2 minutes later, right on time. I put the dogs out and let Anthony and his tech in. I showed the problem, showed pictures of the plumbing before, and what I had done already, I also showed them the parts I had picked up from Lowes. I can't say enough good about these guys, they were SUPER friendly, very courteous, and clean. REALLY clean. They not only fixed my problem in under an hour, they leak tested everything, opened it back up if it leaked and fixed it (including the garbage disposal adapter I had installed), tightened everything correctly (again, including water fittings for my faucet, checked the air gap I installed, and tightened the sink drain I installed too), and even used some of the parts I had picked up to save me money. They used some gaskets and parts they had on hand, and were complete professionals, teaching me some stuff during the process. They even used some of the tools I had sitting there when I offered instead of having to head out to the truck to get their own. In the end, it cost me $100, of which I tipped on top of because they were so friendly and helpful, and QUICK. I feel like I have a real plumber I can call on at any time. They cleaned up everything, took out the leftover garbage that I had sitting around, and packed up the extra parts and reciepts for me to return the unused material. I'm leaving Angies List, this company wasn't even shown there!"

"And today, 12/2/21 I had the pleasure of one of the most magnanimous, generous, and kind individuals I have ever met, fix a plumbing issue (bathroom sink would not drain)...his name is ANTHONY GARCIA. He spent a significant amount of time to assure the job was done properly and helped me in a way I cannot even begin to express. A soul with a big HEART and highly skilled, courteous, respectful, and very professional. I think that Strongbuilt must vet all their employees, to make sure that they are not only the best in the business but also the most resplendent as well. John, the owner...is beyond illustrious himself...Folks...this is the company you want for all your home needs. JoAnne Ellis"

"Arrived on time, and repaired the leaking pipe under my kitchen sink. He's personable, and easy to talk to. Randy didn't talk down to me, he explained everything that was wrong and what needed to be done to fix it. When he was finished he made sure all areas around where he worked was cleaned up before he left. When I have more plumbing problems I will be calling Randy again, I highly recommend him!!!"

"Thomas came, found the incoming water line leak, got the Bobcat excavator and dug down to expose the water pipe. A pipe joint had not been glued when the house was built 41 years ago and it took that long for the tiny leak to come to the surface. Thomas worked his butt off, climbing in the 5 foot deep hole in the mud to remove the old PVC pipe and install new pipe into a better configuration. It was Friday before Memorial Day weekend and Thomas worked till around 6pm to get the hole covered up and area cleaned up. He also had 2 more jobs to complete that day after leaving my job. Look no further, Signature is the place to go for fixing your plumbing issues. They came when scheduled and even though the project was SIGNIFICANTLY more work than initially envisioned, it was worked on until completion. Excellence is all I can say!!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A good option for opening up and cleaning a sink drain is to use a ¼ cup of baking soda and 1 cup of white vinegar, along with a rubber stopper to cover the drain while those materials work their magic. After about 15 minutes, you can flush the drain with hot water. In many cases, these materials can scrub out minor clogs and get the drain working properly again. If the issue persists, call in a plumber near you to get the problem permanently fixed.

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.

Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.
