"This plumber was the second to come out for my clogged drain. So far what he did seems to have worked. The only complaint I had was the plumber was trying to sell me expensive services before he even got to the problem. I will be calling this company with my next plumbing problem."

"Kevin Gardner & his helper Sam were really nice respectful fellows. I only gave then 4.5 stars on work quality because an auger cable broke and they had to fish it out. I gave them 5 stars on customer service for a number of reasons, not the least of which was there was no b.s. about the broken cable situation. Past that, they both spoke to me with knowledge and humor and answered all my questions as well as gave me valuable insight on how to deal with the issue going forward. Pricing of the job was clear from the get-go. I'll be calling Kevin again. One other thing: I was very frustrated with my situation after working on it for 8.5 hours on a Friday, I went to Home Advisor put in my info and got a text from Gardner in 10 minutes requesting that I call. Kevin Garner answered, I ran through the litany of my issues, Kevin correctly diagnosed the problem, as we found out later, and we agreed on the money for the camera work right then and there. We also made an appointment for the next morning, a Saturday, between 10-11am. They were at my door at 10. It was raining fairly hard and I'm not sure I, if I were them, would have been on time as they had been to a previous job in some mud field. They were nice about my not being quite ready to show them the issue (at an adjacent building) and gave me the 5 minutes I needed to 'dress for success' :), without any comment or complaint at all. In fact they were complimentary about my previous day's work of trying to resolve the problem with just a old style manual feed auger that I worked for 8.5 hours. They told me that they wouldn't have felt like getting out of the sack either, after all that. Like I implied: Decent, nice and respectful people. I'll be hiring this outfit again!"

French Drains questions, answered by experts

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

Most clogs are resolved quickly, often within an hour. More complex issues requiring pipe disassembly might take longer.

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.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

The spin cycle on your washer should initiate draining, but if you still find leftover water in the washing machine tub, you may need to drain it manually. To manually drain a washing machine, you’ll need to turn off the power supply and locate the drain hose, filter, and pump. Open or disconnect these parts and let the water drain into a bucket.
