"It went fantastically!!!! Thomas and Tyler listened to my story of the history of my drain issues. They were very polite and professional and open minded to try a few approaches. Thomas, with persistence and expertise, was actually to push a clog through my drain. It was not certain that there was a clog other than the water backing up. My previous plumber was telling me that I had to have another access, tunneling, and egress. He performed the first one last May. Thomas and Taylor worked well together and were so supportive of what I had been through. Thomas even asked if I was on Angie's List and then gave me 10% off the bill which was only $224! I saved thousands of dollars as I almost agreed to have my yard dug up again. I can't say enough about this company and how they hold the bar high for honesty, ethics, professionalism and quality work. I also want to give a shout out to Kari who took my call and also listened to my rather long story. Many thanks to Cold on the Right Plumbing. I wish all businesses were like this!"

"I had an especially difficult drain clog that Josh worked very hard to clear. Others may had given up, but he stayed with it. He came in with a mask and cleaned up his work area."

"EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE Eddie visited our house the very day we called about our water heater. He came out, inspected the very tough location where the water heater is located and delivered an estimate with 3 options on the spot. We decided which direction to go and let Eddie know at which time he promptly scheduled our installation. On the day of install he arrived when he said he would, put down every type of floor protection you can imagine and proceeded the very difficult task of manipulating a 50 gallon water heater out of a small closet 10 feet up in the air. He worked with his partner to remove the old one, replumbed and installed the new one, again in a very tight space. Eddie ran all new venting to the outside, added electronic monitoring, and crawled under the house several times to make certain the drains were all functioning properly. We could not ask for better service and the attention to detail was amazing. This is our second experience with Excalibur Plumbing and they have both been wonderful experiences. Great customer service!!!!"

"CP was friendly and knowledgeable. After telling him what issues I had, he diagnosed the problem and located the clog. He quoted additional work for me to do in the near future due to a nearby tree root system damaging the line. He also replaced an intake water valve on a toilet that was leaking. I'll hire this company again to complete the repairs."

"I had the pleasure of working with Burls Plumbing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Daniel arrived promptly and was incredibly professional, courteous, and respectful of my home. He took the time to explain the issue clearly and offered practical solutions, ensuring I understood every step along the way. What truly impressed me was his attention to detail and the quality of his work. He didnâ t just fix the problem; he went above and beyond to ensure everything was working perfectly before he left. Not only was he highly skilled and knowledgeable, but his prices were also fair and transparent, with no hidden surprises. I appreciate the care they put into their work, and I will be calling them again for any and all future plumbing needs. If youâ re looking for reliable, efficient, and honest plumbers, look no further than Burls Plumbing!!!!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.

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.

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary. 

A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.

Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.
