"I had to have a drain unclogged two weeks ago and Jamie came out. He was extremely quick and did the work perfectly. He was very nice and professional. Today I had an emergency because my water heater burst and hot water was pouring out. I needed someone to come right away because Iâ m elderly And I did not know how to turn off the water. They sent Mikki here within 15 minutes and he knew right away the problem and had my old one out and my new one installed in less than two hours. He also was very kind and professional. I cannot imagine calling another plumber company after this. I would definitely recommend them to anybody."

"I was quoted a price for the job at hand, my kitchen sink, and removing a garbage disposal. Well, it ended up being a lot more than anyone could imagine. They kept the same price, and I was surprised and thankful as Iâ m on a fixed budget. I also would like to point out that he is a veteran and served in our military. The job was done excellent. The previous owners had worked on the sink drainage system, but they had done it wrong. He fixed all that and gave it an air vent that it much needed.(Another thing that was something not anticipated). I have other jobs that I need done and he had referrals so just about every one of them. That was another Gem To find out. I will definitely use them again. As a matter fact, I am I have otherwise projects concerning my plumbing if I could give a 10 star rating that I would do., Very courteous very nice. Also cleans up after the work being done.. Very thankful."

"My family came home Friday night to discover that our septic tank was backing up into our showers. We called every septic tank draining company in the area and we either got voicemail (they were closed), or they didn't come out as far as my house. The earliest I could get someone to commit to was Tuesday (remember, it was a Friday night). I had already called two of the companies Angi recommended. Southeast Plumbing and Gas was the third. Even though septic draining is not normally one of the jobs that this company does, they agreed to come out and save the day for us (in the middle of the night!!). Bryan, the owner, not only drained our tank, but he also repaired and redesigned our septic line for better flow and installed a clean out valve. We are in a better position now than we were when we bought the house!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load.

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.

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.
