"Bob and Donald originally came out to do an electrical job and some other small jobs. During this process, we encountered a severe drain stoppage in one of our main drains. It resulted in having to have the basement dug up and pipe replaced. These guys were great and got me up and running on a Sunday. Very good value for the money. I highly recommend Mike Marshall and his crew at United plumbing and electric."

"Unblocking a drain (blocked by tree roots) turned out to be more extensive than anticipated. Mr Humphrey did a great job, came back to take care of some water heater issues caused by the silty water on the basement floor. He also gave me some great advice on any future blockage problems."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Sometimes, the drain is just too clogged—thanks, stubborn hair and soap scum. In this case, you’ll need a more powerful drain cleaner than you can DIY safely at home. But this doesn’t mean you have to choose a traditional drain cleaner. 

You can find biodegradable drain cleaners at your local home improvement store or online for those drains that need a little more oomph. 

While on the hunt for a formidable drain cleaner, the best options are non-chemical clog solutions that combine enzymes and bacteria.

Keep your egress window from flooding by ensuring that the drainage system in the window well is clear and in good working condition. Inspect the window well every few months to remove any blockages and test the drainage system. It’s better to discover potential problems before your window well fills with water during heavy rain.

Common causes include hair buildup, soap residue, food particles, and foreign objects. Older pipes can also contribute by facilitating buildup more easily.

There are many things that could cause your basement floor drain to back up. One significant cause of a drainage backup is flushing non-flushable items, such as wipes, paper towels, and facial tissue. Other causes of a backed-up basement floor drain include tree roots impeding the drain pipe or an accumulation of hair, oil, and grease. 

Your clothes—and your washing machine—will send you a few signals if you’re overdue for cleaning your washing machine filter. If you notice a buildup of detergent residue on your clothes, your clothes don’t dry quickly or at all, or you’re noticing lint in the machine, it’s time to clean the filter.
