"NYC Plumbing, Heating, and Drain Cleaning was hired to clear a main drain blockage. They responded quickly and gave me a reasonable quote. They arrived in a timely manner and resolved the problem within a few minutes. I was informed of the issue and was told that the main drain was snaked out both going into the home and out to the street. I highly recommend them for any drain blockage work you may need."

"I worked with Jesse to help with a clogged bathtub drain after I tried plunging it myself. I explained over the phone that I was dealing with backflow problems and each time I used the bathroom sink the water would end up back in the tub. Unlike another plumber who said they would need to charge me to snake both the tub and the bathroom sink, Jesse explained it would likely just need to be the sink and there is an issue in the shared drainage pipe. Jesse communicated clearly when he'd arrive and on his availabilites, and helped resolve the issue quickly and cleaned up after himself. He also gave me additional advice on how to manage my drainage issues in the future, and another toilet problem I had. Good guy to work with, and got the job done. Would hire again."

"The main problem we had originally was that the drain in the yard was clogged. He ran his drain snake machine and unclogged in issue. We had another issue in our basement and they had also explained what we should do in the future to prevent clogging there as well. Overall I was happy with the quick service and that they had explained the technical bits of the problem to us."

"They were great about returning calls and called when they realized they were to be late. It appears they unclogged 3 drains and replaced pipes underneath. My only complaint was that they left the floor in work areas a bit wet. Overall great job. happy that they were able to get the job done only 1 day after I called."

Customers say: True professional

"I had an excellent experience with this plumber. I called them for a severely clogged drain that was causing water to back up, and they responded quickly and professionally. The plumber arrived on time, inspected the issue, explained the cause of the clog, and fixed it efficiently. What impressed me most was their professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail. They made sure the drain was completely cleared, tested everything before leaving, and left the work area clean. The pricing was fair, and there were no surprise charges. If you’re looking for a reliable plumber for clogged drains or any plumbing issue, I highly recommend their services. Fast response, quality work, and outstanding customer service. I would use them again in the future."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t have a sewer cleanout, clearing out clogs can be extremely difficult. You would need to try to clear the clog from sink drains, but it can be harder to reach the clog all the way in the drain line. A sewer cleanout makes it much faster and easier for pros to clear clogs from your main sewer line.

The P-trap (or S-trap in older homes) under your shower is designed to prevent sewer gas from coming back up, so you shouldn’t normally experience foul odors coming from your shower drain. If you do, the vent stack that introduces air into your plumbing system may be clogged, or you may have a more severe sewer main blockage. In either case, hire a plumber to fix the issue for you.

Pouring drain cleaner down a vent pipe isn’t recommended. First of all, unlike a clog in a sink or bath caused by such material as soap scum build-up, toothpaste, and hair, clogs in a vent pipe are likely the result of debris from trees or even an animal stuck in the pipe. Drain cleaners won’t be able to eat through this kind of material. The cleaner will only become clogged in the vent with the debris, causing even more problems.

While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups.
