"Great.! DB’s Plumbing sent Trevor out to fix the problem and he was great. The price was right and he got the drain going fast. He was knowledgeable offered solutions to my other plumbing issues I have at the house. He also gave me a quote for another job I needed done, so I will use them again that’s for sure."

"One faucet required locating the inside water line leading to the faucet, and then cutting through paneling and sheetrock to remove and replace the faucet. The work was somewhat messy but they cleaned it up well, replaced the insulation & covered the exposed area with a removeable access panel.
The other faucet was easier to replace and included correcting sloppy work that had been done when the previous faucet had been installed.
The two workers were polite , neat and careful not to track water and mud into the house or basement

"I recently had a new MagicPak System installed through SwiftPro, along with vent cleaning and a digital thermostat and breaker switch installation, and I couldn't be happier with the results! David and his team (Alex, Aaron and Oscar!) were professional, efficient, and truly committed to delivering high-quality work. They walked me through the entire process, took great care of me — answered all my questions with patience, and ensured everything was functioning perfectly before they left. The vents are spotless, and the new thermostat is easy to use and a real game-changer for managing my condo’s comfort. I’m beyond impressed with their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction. If you're looking for reliable experts, the SwiftPro team is the one to call!!!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

Drain clearing removes debris and clogs from drain pipes enough to allow water to drain properly. On the other hand, drain cleaning removes all of the material from the pipe so that water flows unrestricted, which is a longer-term solution. Your plumbing pro will be able to recommend the right service depending on the clog size, frequency of issues, and surrounding pipework.

Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.

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.
