"I recently experienced a severe clogged sewer issue and reached out to Winners Sewer and Drain for help. Jesse arrived on time and conducted a comprehensive inspection to diagnose the problem. He explained the situation clearly and outlined the necessary steps to resolve the clog. Despite the complexity of the issue, Jesse worked efficiently and effectively to restore normal function. I appreciated his transparency regarding the costs and the absence of any unexpected fees. Jesse not only resolved the issue promptly but also ensured minimal disruption to our daily activities. I highly recommend Winners Sewer and Drain for anyone facing similar plumbing challenges."

"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!"

Excellent communication, showed up right on time, and left the workspace clean as a whistle. Exceptional craftsmanship and super professional. If you need honest, reliable work done right the first time, look no further!"

"Shiroka GC replaced two water heaters in our townhouse at very short notice. They were super professional, explained what was happening and why, easily managed some very difficult access issues and worked super clean. Great job! Would happily recommend to friends and family."

"The servicemen from L&P Plumbing and Heating arrived 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time. They were courteous and helpful. They explained what they were going to do and worked quickly and efficiently. They snaked over twenty feet into the drain to clear the cement that lodged in the drain when our steps were renovated. The call was an urgent one as severe rain was expected and we had already experienced flooding in our laundry room once. L & P restored my piece of mind and I am grateful!"

"The technician Daniel K provided me with options to solve a problem with a toilet that would not flush properly due to an object stuck in the pipe. When he was unable to remove the obstruction by snaking the drain, he explained the reasons why, and we went to plan B. Daniel was able to identify the need to replace the toilet, returned to the shop to get the new parts, and came back to the building within an hour. The toilet was installed quickly and he hauled the old toilet out for disposal. The service call was scheduled on a Saturday afternoon and the work was performed on a SUNDAY-- Daniel contacted me ahead of the 12pm-4pm service window and arrived early. Other plumbing companies who listed weekend hours were unresponsive and did not take the time to return my voicemails-- even during the following week. Glad I found Petri. Great service and great work."

"We had a sewer line backup caused by tree roots growing into the pipe. He arrived on time, explained the issue clearly, and worked thoroughly to remove the roots and restore proper flow. Everything has been draining perfectly since the service. Professional, honest, reasonably priced, and easy to work with. I appreciated that he took the time to explain what caused the problem and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing plumbing work."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

To clean gunk out of a sink drain, pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar. The two will react chemically; let them fizz for 15 minutes, then rinse with boiling water. Repeat these steps if necessary for particularly dirty sink drains, and consider a drain snake if there are clogs.

Yes, chemical drain cleaners contain sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, both of which are not only dangerous to your health but also extremely caustic. Drain cleaners will corrode your pipes and could lead to destroyed drain lines, especially if the chemicals interact with the piping for long periods. Unfortunately, this extended interaction is likely if you’re dealing with a clog, as the drain cleaner will have just as much trouble as water does moving through your plumbing system.

You’ll likely pay between $300 and $450 to unclog your toilet with Roto-Rooter. However, the price could change depending on if the clog has caused a lot of damage, which your plumbing pro will want to inspect during your service appointment. Keep in mind that you won’t get a quote from Roto-Rooter over the phone. They have to send a pro out for an in-person cost estimate. You can also attempt to snake your own clog for a lot less, and simple drain snakes cost no more than $50.

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.
