"Water was backing up into the bathtub. Tried to snake it myself but couldn't get it cleared. In the meantime discovered that the toilet was leaking underneath. What a delight.
Found this guy on Angie's list with excellent ratings. Called and left a message. His voicemail said he was unavailable today, but he called me anyway after a couple of hours and got to my house just before 5 PM. Snaked the drain and cleared the blockage. I asked him about reinstalling the toilet I'd taken off so it wouldn't leak, but since I hadn't asked him about it earlier he didn't have the wax ring. He came in and reinstalled the bolts in the floor and explained to me how to finish the job after I get a wax ring.
Overall I am delighted with this service. Very reasonable charge... I live out in Waterflow and he didn't charge extra to come all the way out here. I don't know if it's standard to give tips to plumbers, but I tipped him.
If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable guy who will get it done for you, this is your man.

"They are very good and I haven't had any problems. They charged $65 to turn off the cooler. They charged a little more in the spring because they put in new pads. After a month it didn't seem to be working so they came out and it was clogged with sand. They didn't charge me to come back. They charge by the hour for the drain cleaning. It is around $85 an hour. They are real good and I would use them again. They call me."

"The service went very well.  I called and asked if a plumber could come and change our expansion tank off of our hot water heater and was told that the plumber would be there between 1 and 3.  About 15 minutes before 1, the plumber called and asked if he could come by. 
The service at the house went well and he used buckets and towels to make sure he didn't spill water everywhere.  The water that did drip on our garage floor was cleaned up before he left. 
They accept credit cards and are very professional, I'd use them again!

French Drains questions, answered by experts

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.

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.

Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.

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.
