"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

Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. 

To keep your toilet from clogging, you can use less toilet paper. You can also use a liquid toilet plunger to break up any clogs and keep the toilet drain and pipes clear. When it comes to a clogged toilet, the best route is prevention by using less toilet paper and making sure the mechanisms are all working properly.

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.

Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.

Plumbers use a variety of tools to help unclog the toughest of drain clogs, but the most common tools they use are drain snakes and augers. They try a plunger or drain snake to start, then move to heavy-duty augers, and finally try using a hydro jetter to blast away the clog with high-pressure water. Hiring a plumber to unclog a drain costs $125 to $300, largely depending on the extent and location of the clog and which of these methods is best for clearing it.
