"The installation of the hot water tank was great. I was not happy that they did not drain any water from the old tank, I believe that once they determined that they could not empty the water anywhere in the basement except outside they just left it. I am in my seventies and I had to do it the next day so I could move the tank."

"Craig and Jerry are the absolute best guys.  From the first day of meeting and getting an estimate them they were great. We interviewed three different contractors and even though they were not the least expensive, we just new they would be great to work with,  When you have someone that will be in your house every day for several months on a big project..you want to make sure you can stand having them there. Very personable, honest and straightforward.  No salesman pitches and no empty promises.  They have great creative ideas during the process too.  They recreated and updated our entire first floor.  They were there when they said they would be, and cleaned up every day before they left.  We had a major setback with our kitchen supplier, but they kept doing everything they could to keep the project moving..they didn't disappear from the project and they made us feel like our job was their most important..even when we knew they had other work too. :)
Their attention to detail and making sure the job was done right was what was really important to us.  They did not cut corners or skimp on materials.  They involved us and didnt' make any changes or adjustments with out talking with us first.  So there wasn't any surprise bill at the end with work we didn't know was done.  We are now using them again on our outside deck this summer.  They will be our contractors for all future projects.  Our kids liked them so much they were sad to see them go..and would bake them goodies too.
I would and have recommended them to my friends and family.

FAQs for drain cleaning projects in Cairo, NY

On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.

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.

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.

The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
