What can you pour down a toilet to unclog it?

How much does a sewer line clog cost?

• <div><p>Ideally, you might find that you only need to clean the sewer line or remove a clog from the main line. That costs $200 to $300. However, “<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-clear-a-main-sewer-line-clog.htm">sewer main clogs can cost</a> upwards of $1,000 to clear, depending on what is causing the clog, distance from accessible cleanouts to the clog, and whether there is occupied space below the clogged line (apartment buildings, condos, etc.),” says Botelho.</p></div>

How do you know if your AC drain line is clogged?

• <div><p>If your drain line is clogged, your AC might stop cooling, shut down, or refuse to turn on at all.

"Patrick and his team, John and Isaac, were amazing. Patrick gave us a reasonable quote and all the work got done in a reasonable timeframe. Patrick remained in close contact throughout the project. We encountered some third party supplier issues (not Patrick's team's fault at all) which caused the project to take a couple extra days, but Patrick stuck to his original quote and ate the substantial extra labor costs. He is honest and trustworthy, and a man of integrity--invaluable in this business!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Start by pouring hot—but not boiling—water down the drain. The heat of the water may be enough to break down the clog. You can also try ½ cup of dish soap or 1 cup each of white vinegar and baking soda. If you choose a chemical unclogging product, ensure it’s appropriate for toilets to avoid damage.

For disposal clogs with standing water, use a sink plunger and place it over the garbage disposal drain. Push the sink plunger up and down the drain about six to eight times before lifting. If the sink drains, the clogged food particles are dislodged from the drain. If there’s still standing water, repeat the steps until the standing water clears out.

You can unclog a double kitchen sink by plunging the side with the garbage disposal. Cover the drain hole on the other side first to avoid creating a mess. Plunge up and down until the water starts to drain. You can also pour in baking soda and vinegar to try and dissolve a clog.

Ideally, you might find that you only need to clean the sewer line or remove a clog from the main line. That costs $200 to $300. However, “sewer main clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear, depending on what is causing the clog, distance from accessible cleanouts to the clog, and whether there is occupied space below the clogged line (apartment buildings, condos, etc.),” says Botelho.

If your drain line is clogged, your AC might stop cooling, shut down, or refuse to turn on at all. Otherwise, you might see your AC leaking water, find standing water or water damage near the unit, or notice a musty smell coming out of your air conditioner or vents.
