"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"Ben Wilson Plumbing came through for me, at a time of great desperation, there was a blockage in the sewer pipes of my house, and they came out the same day, I called to inquire about their services. My children and I had been living in our home with backed up sewer water in both our bathrooms, and all the drains in the house, for 3 days, it was miserable. I waited for my home warranty to send someone out, and after two days of waiting with no response, I got desperate and found Ben Wilson Plumbing through Home Advisor, they did not price gouge me, and they made time to come to my home to provide my family relief from that smelly, disgusting sewer water backed up in my home. Thank you, so much for your excellent customer service, compassion, expedient, and flawless work! I would recommend to everyone, this is your company for all your plumbing needs."

"John contacted me promptly upon my request, made an appointment to come out and assess the situation, gave me a fair and reasonable quote. I got two other quotes from other companies. Both had to be called more than once to remind them to come out. Patriot Foundation’s work was done very well and his men cleaned up the area nicely. You can’t even tell where the cracks in the wall used to be."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Pouring drain cleaner down a vent pipe isn’t recommended. First of all, unlike a clog in a sink or bath caused by such material as soap scum build-up, toothpaste, and hair, clogs in a vent pipe are likely the result of debris from trees or even an animal stuck in the pipe. Drain cleaners won’t be able to eat through this kind of material. The cleaner will only become clogged in the vent with the debris, causing even more problems.

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

There are a few reasons your snake won’t go down the floor drain. One common reason is a large obstruction in the drain that is causing a blockage. You can remove any debris you see in the drain before trying to snake it. In addition, the snake might not be long enough to reach the clog, or it might be the wrong diameter. 

Start by pouring hot—but not boiling—water down the drain. The heat of the water may be enough to break down the clog. You can also try ½ cup of dish soap or 1 cup each of white vinegar and baking soda. If you choose a chemical unclogging product, ensure it’s appropriate for toilets to avoid damage.

Vinegar is better for an AC drain line because it’s less corrosive and won’t damage the pipes. It’s also a safer and easier product to use. Bleach should not be used on your AC drain line because it can corrode your pipes and harm the evaporator coil in your air conditioner.
