"I recently hired Woodys Drain Service for a plumbing issue, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. They responded quickly, arrived on time, and were professional and courteous throughout the visit. The plumber, Jeff, diagnosed the problem efficiently and explained everything in a clear and honest manner. The repair was completed the same day, and the price was fair with no hidden fees. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and respect for my home — they even cleaned up the area afterward. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs and will definitely use them again."

"I have used them for two years. They charge me depending on the service. I have paid $300 for normal plumbing issues, like clearing the drain; etc. They are quick to come out. However, if it is a large job, they normally charge twice as much as the other plumbers. So, they are very expensive. I do not think I will use them again in the future. "

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Several signs can tip you off to a clogged dishwasher drain. At first, you may notice that it’s taking longer than usual for the dishwasher to drain, or you may hear gurgling sounds during the draining part of the cycle. You might also notice water backing up into your sink or excess food at the bottom of the dishwasher after a load. The most obvious sign, though, is seeing standing water at the bottom of your dishwasher after the cycle has finished.

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.

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.

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.
