"Atomic Plumbing is my go-to company for all our plumping needs. as a follow-up after my annual SPA visit, i took Justin's recommendation to update our 4 eleven-year-old builder-grade toilets that came with the house when we purchased it in 2010. we decided to have them all completely replaced with Toto Drake comfort height toilets versus refurbishing the old ones. Chelsea kept me updated via emails. on the day of the install, Justin and Will were punctual and professional. Justin, a Master Plumber, oversaw Will as he installed the new toilets and was very meticulous throughout. during flush testing, Justin noted that while all 4 included fill valves were operational, 3 weren't to his satisfaction, so during their lunch break, they grabbed 4 new fill valves. he was very pleased with their operation after installation. upon completion of the job, they hauled away the old toilets and cleaned up so well one would never know they were here in the first place! during checkout, he made corrections to the original price quote, properly discounting for being an SPA customer and reducing the prices for the 3 subsequent toilets since they were installed during one visit (a savings of ~$700). i will continue to HIGHLY RECOMMEND Atomic Plumbing for anyone's plumbing needs!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There are several common signs that your main sewer line may be clogged. Key indicators include multiple fixtures in your home draining slowly, gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets, and water backing up into showers, sinks, or toilets. You might also notice water backing up from the plumbing system's drain cleanout, water in your basement drain, or unexplained wet patches on your lawn. Foul odors, such as the smell of raw sewage or rotten eggs, are another common symptom. The most reliable way to confirm a main sewer line clog is to hire a professional plumber to perform a camera inspection.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

Water leaking through your basement floor is a good sign of a clogged drain, but another sign of a clogged basement floor drain can include unpleasant odors coming from the drain. Also, hearing gurgling noises when water drains from the basement or having other plumbing fixtures (like toilets or other drains) backing up is a good indicator.
