"I hired ABC Sewers & Drain Cleaning, the same day when I found out my water heater was broken. George and his son came right away to look at it and the next day was installed. They did a wonderful job and the price was reasonable. I totally recommend this company to anyone. I give this company 5 STARS."

"We needed a whole new system a/c for our house. After looking at a few different companies in the area we decided to go with Maitz Home Services because of their price and warranty. Jerry and Chris came out to do the install. They were here on time.They were very professional and pleasant. They made sure we knew how everything worked. They were very good and thorough at explaining how to work the system. They cleaned up after themselves and everything was very clean when they left. We are very happy with their service."

"Great experience! I called for a clogged kitchen drain, and he discovered that the P-trap and stack were rusted and causing a leak. He replaced everything, fixed the clog, and made sure everything was working properly. Very professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. I definitely recommend him to everyone and will be calling him again for any future plumbing needs!"

"Joe was absolutely a life saver. He was able to come to the house, diagnose the issue, source a replacement water heater, and fix it all within roughly six hours. He also worked with my tenants and made them feel confident the issue would be resolved. They weren’t keen on staying when the issue was first discovered, but Joe was able to show them the work would get done and their vacation could still happen."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.

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.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.
