"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 team at 24 Seven were great! Candace and Diana were prompt in their response and arranged the appointment swiftly. 5 stars to Robert the plumber who put in the extra hard work and determination to remedy my plumbing issue. It should have been fairly routine drain cleanout but proved to be a bit of a pain and Robert’s expertise, patience and determination shined. He was polite and respectful. Prompt and efficient. I would certainly call them again. Now I can use my bathroom sink again without worry!"

"They came over on time and I explained my situation I was left with from the previous plumber who had been there for two and a half weeks trying to fix my problem and managed to wreck my property and bill me close to 9k for a completely wrong diagnosis (prompting me to call Petri). Within a couple hours Petri had fixed the problem with it being a simple drain clog and hard to believe it took ten days with the other plumber and they were not even close to solving the actual problem. Petri was professional and thorough and caring for my property and I was so relieved to have finally fixed the problem."

"Excellent ...perfection ...professional ...courteous ...polite ...patient efficient .... if u need a plumber these are the guys to call ...... I had a leak under my large kitchen farmhouse double sink with plumbing set up for a dishwasher a garbage disposal a spray hose and a water filter with a reserve tank ..... the leak was intermittent ...... some times a lot of water sometimes a small puddle sometimes nothing ..... I tried several times to locate the source .... I live in a co-op apt so I had friends who were handy fixing there own plumbing issues take a look at the pipes ....I had the super /maintenance-guy check it out nobody could find what was leaking ...it was time to call a plumber.... Quite frankly I was dreading this whole experience.... when would they be able to come ...how long would this take to locate the problem....would they really be able to fix it since no one could find it ..... would they have the parts .... well Leonard called, said he could come the same day at 3pm.... he came 15 minutes early ..... I showed him the sink he immediately went to work ..... Thank God Leonard was patient .... It took 60 minutes to figure out that all of my devices under the sink when used, caused different levels of pressure on the drain pipe. The spray hose caused little pressure so small puddle leak, dishwasher lots of water lots of pressure so a big leak......this caused the drain pipe joints to become loose, the seal to be broken, and the water to leak out sometimes, that was why it seemed intermittent. But the real problem was the drain pipe was severely clogged because the pipes were not at the right slant to make the water run properly down the drain using gravity .....so the water just sat there and since I use a garbage disposal u can only imagine how badly clogged it was ....Leonard said we needed to fix the slant on the pipes then fix the joints and reseal pipes. But first and most importantly it needed to be snaked. So he went to his truck come back in 5 minutes used 25 foot snake 3 times he said it was not clear I could see this myself as the water was not going down the pipes .... At this point, I figured we would have to call the co-op board to get their plumber to snake the pipes in the building to fix this issue ......all I could think was this was getting worse .....Leonard said he just needed a longer snake he called his brother who came in 5 minutes with a 50 foot snake he used the 50 foot snake twice that finally cleared it .....no more filthy water ....he adjusted the slant of pipes ...put in new pipes with new seal ...... Leonard and his brother cleaned up all the debris got equipment packed and was gone in 10 minutes ....problem solved all of this only took 2 hours ....! Sink and all devices work perfectly now.... Absolutely Incredible!!!!!!"

"The sinks are draining well. The stopper is fixed. The toilet was unclogged, but got clogged again the next day. Had to pour Ajax, and let it sit overnight to unclog the toilet again. That is the reason I have given a B, rather than an A"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

Chemical drain cleaners can work to clear clogs in pipes, but their use should be approached with caution. These harsh chemicals can damage pipes over time, and they can also harm the environment. Use them sparingly and consider alternative methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. If you have concerns about a persistent clog, it's best to consult a professional who can safely and effectively address the issue without causing further damage to your plumbing system.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

Vinegar is better for an AC drain line because it’s less corrosive and won’t damage the pipes. It’s also a safer and easier product to use. Bleach should not be used on your AC drain line because it can corrode your pipes and harm the evaporator coil in your air conditioner.

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain.
