"I had a bathroom toilet not flushing properly. T-Mark personnel was able to come out within a couple of days. Turned out after very brief inspection of the plumber that the sewer drain outside was partially blocked. Very quick and very professional job done to clear the blockage using all the right tools. Took almost 1 1/2 hours and the price agreed upon ahead of time was reasonable. Everything works again normally. I am a very happy customer."

"I’m so happy with the work they did at my home on my side yard! It was very low and had serious drainage issues, so they brought in fill, added drainage, graded everything, and hydroseeded the yard. They did an amazing job from start to finish, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. They are very honest, trustworthy, professional, timely, reasonable and so knowledgeable! The difference is incredible, and my yard looks so much better! I would definitely recommend Justin and Matt and would absolutely use them again!"

"I would give Andrew ten stars if I could. from the moment he walked into my home until he left he presented nothing but professionalism. He was so knowledgeable of every question I asked him about my clogged drain and explained to me what and why he was going to do. He was also very reasonable with his pricing. Would I recommend this company to others? YES You can bet your bottom dollar I would, you can’t get any better."

"Jesse was outstanding, my basement flooded from the storm drain backing up, he was here very quickly and it was after 8pm! He started pumping out my basement and got right to work. My family and I were able to sleep well that night knowing it was taken care of. I recommend D&P Plumbing to all my family and friends."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

Yes, many services include camera inspections to identify the cause of the blockage. Confirm with your provider.
