"Had a clogged drain backflowing into both showers. I have an older home that is notoriously hard to work on. Cameron had no problems. The whole experience was great. I would definitely recommend Georgeâ s Drains to anyone."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Great! The plumber who came to our house had 40+ years of experience. He knew exactly how to address our plumbing problems and even educated me on how to easily and simply test for toilet seal leaks and how to keep the kitchen drains and garbage disposal in better condition. I really appreciated that! He worked extra hard at unsticking the garbage disposal blades to save us the cost of purchasing a new one when ours was still in good condition. I felt he treated our house and our plumbing problems with as much care and thought as he would his own. But that's typical of the experience I've had with this company through about 15 years of using their services. They are exceptional!"

"Our water pressure to the house was over 120psi; should be 60 to75psi.  The builder did not install a pressure regulator, so the high pressure ruptured the bladder in the expansion tank, and the hot water heater was leaking water through the pressure relief valve.  Called Amanda Plumbing on Friday, and scheduled service for Monday morning.  Hayden called about 20 minutes before the scheduled time to say he was coming, and he arrived on time.  He verified the issue and installed a pressure regulator.  He didn't have the proper size expansion tank, so a return appointment was scheduled for Wednesday morning.  Hayden snaked our clogged outside drain that the sump pump drains into.  He was able to cut out the tree roots clogging the drain 68 feet out (which was good, since the snake is only 75 feet long).

Hobie called about 15 minutes before the scheduled time on Wednesday, and arrived on time.  He quickly installed the new expansion tank.  Both plumbers were professional, quick and friendly.  Work was performed correctly and without issues.

I will be using Amanda Plumbing next spring when we convert to natural gas, and to replace our old water heater, and anytime we need plumbing work.

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

DIY plunging or drain cleaning chemicals may help minor clogs, but professional hydro jetting ensures long-term solutions.

It’s sometimes difficult to distinguish a clog from a frozen drainpipe since ice technically causes a clog. If the temperature doesn’t tip you off, there are a few additional signs that your pipe is frozen. Look for condensation and frost around the pipes. Ice in pipes can cause a banging or clanking noise as opposed to a clog from a softer material.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.
