"They performed the work quickly and the guy was nice but the charge was 480 for a clearing a basement accessible drain. Got quotes from other for 150-350~ for clearing the same drain but wouldn’t come out as soon as DE plumbing pros. Seems very overpriced and wouldn’t use again unless I absolutely had to. Their customer service was good and theirs plumbers professional."

"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."

"Ryan was great. He was very nice and helpful, and did a great job on several small jobs we needed help with. He replaced 2 bathroom faucets, the intake lines, replaced a shutoff valve at the kitchen sink and cleared a slow draining bathroom sink. Highly recommend and will use them again if plumbing needs arise!"

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages. 

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

If you've discovered a rather frightening buildup of brown and black gunk below your shower cover, you're not alone. The smelly sludge is often a collection of mildew and biofilm. Biofilm comes from the breakdown of soap scum, hair, skin cells, and bacteria that collects during shower time. It's quite common in a humid space and relatively easy to clean with a gentle DIY cleaning solution such as baking soda and vinegar.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to clean your linear drain every two to three months to prevent debris buildup. However, if you notice it draining slowly or an odor from your drainpipes, it’s best to clear the clogged drain and maintain it more often. If you let a clog go for too long, you may have to invest in the price of professional shower drain cleaning, which costs about $225.

There are a few ways to unclog a toilet without a plunger. Break up the clog with homemade solutions containing soap, vinegar, and baking soda, or simply let hot water spend some time in the drain. You can also use a two-liter soda bottle filled with water to push pressurized water into the pipe to dislodge the debris (see the steps above).
