"Had gurgling from 2 bathroom sinks. Not knowing if this was a concern, I reached out to Angie's List for quotes from plumbers. The first one to respond was ValDel Plumbing. They were able to schedule me in for the next day. Our plumber, Steve, arrived and diagnosed the problem - partially clogged sinks. He corrected the problem per the quote. While working on the sinks, he noted that the drain pipes connected to the p-trap should be modified (he did this at no extra cost). After the job was completed, I had a question about my sump pump. He offered to look at it and gave some recommendations. Overall, I felt that the job was corrected to my satisfaction. The work done by Steve was both personable and professional. If I had future plumbing needs, I would strongly consider ValDel Plumbing."

"After reading through some of the prior reviews I have seen kind of a mixed bag of responses, which honestly surprises me because every time I have used Mattioni for plumbing and heating issues (I had them replace my heat pump system 3 years ago as well) they have been nothing short of extraordinary! To focus on today's job, my technician Paul M, arrived (at exactly 3:00, which was the beginning of the time window that the dispatcher quoted me in the morning, which was fantastic) to fix a leak that I had found the night before in my basement that had soaked my drop-ceiling tile. I had tried to find the leak myself last night when I discovered the moisture on the tile, but could not find any dripping water although I did see drain pipes within a 2 foot area that showed no signs of dripping, and there was nothing directly above the spot where the leak soaked the tile, which had me baffled. When Paul came over he was able to tell from the piping where my powder room fixtures were in proximity to the leak, which was a good two feet to the left, and immediately hit on the root cause of the problem being the ice maker in my kitchen refrigerator upstairs, which I was amazed by as the subfloor panels themselves did not appear to be wet (the location of the moisture was at the very corner of my basement by the dividing wall between my townhouse and my adjoining neighbor so the wooden panels did not appear to be damp, but there was a very slight gap in between where the wood ended and the concrete wall began. Paul went upstairs and pulled out the refrigerator and immediately saw moisture in the very back corner of the floor, which I did not even notice on first sight until he pointed it out. He then inspected the plastic tubing line that ran into the refrigerator for the ice machine (that I had never used in the 5 years I have owned the house) and was able to show me a pin-sized hole that was actively misting water out of it that happened to be situated directly above the gap in the floor that I mentioned earlier. Given how hard this leak was to find when I was even staring right at it is a huge credit to his expertise! My automatic assumption was that it had to be one of the pipes in the area of the basement, and I never even considered that a fixture upstairs could have been causing this, especially given the lack of moisture on the wooden floor boards! I am completely satisfied with my experience today from all aspects, and I find it interesting when I read some of the reviews posted here by others that mention how expensive their service was, which maybe Mattioni's is on the pricier side, but in my opinion you get what you pay for and I am happy with the price when it means that Mattioni employs professional and courteous technicians like Paul who you are comfortable with bringing into your home, and are able to properly identify and fix a problem the first time they come out! As I said previously, my experiences with Mattioni have always been fantastic, and I definitely plan on hiring them again when needed."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

Yes, frozen pipes can prevent a toilet from working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which means your toilet tank won't be able to refill after a flush. This will prevent the toilet from flushing again. Depending on which lines are frozen, the ice can also block the drain pipe, preventing water from flushing away.

As a temporary workaround, you can manually add water to the tank for each flush. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try filling the toilet bowl or tank with warm water and flushing to help thaw the ice. However, the best long-term solution is to unfreeze the pipes to get your toilet back in working order.

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

Bleach—even diluted bleach—is not always the safest option for cleaning your drains. With a high pH, bleach can be highly corrosive to many types of pipes, especially when used regularly. When mixed with household cleaners and organic waste, it can also create dangerous chemicals. Remember to use proper protective equipment and ventilation when dealing with bleach.
