"Technician Assessed The Job Gave A Fair Price And Applied The Coupon From Angie's List! The Washer Drain Was Unclogged By Getting On The Roof (Who Knew) And Is Working Great! We Had Bought A Replacement Faucet And Handles; Just In Case Replacing Was The More Sensible Option Vs Repairing And As It Turns Out The Kit That Would Have Been Needed To Repair Our Dated Faucet And Handles Would Have Taken More Time And Money! Now Installing The New One Still Was No Small Task, But Our Technician Worked Diligently And I'm Happy To Report No More Drip! Atomic Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Is Definitely Our New Go To For Future Plumbing Needs!"

"I had a serious issue with my kitchen sink drain pipe and my bathroom shower stem. Patrick came to my house on time with a very courteous, friendly, professional attitude. As he was repairing my plumbing needs he explained to me step by step what he was doing. He assessed everything to me and in a timely manner was able to complete the jobs with flying colors. I'll tell you this... Patrick is a hero to me. Thank you, Patrick, and thank you A1 Sewer & Drain Plumbing. This business is 2/2 for me and most definitely my go-to company for all of my plumbing needs! I rate you 10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!"

"I had an encapsulation accomplished along with beam repairs, fungicide treatment, beam repairs, jack installation, French drain, etc.. It was a project that took a few weeks. Over that time the teams were always on time, cordial, friendly, and upbeat. They modified a few items based on my personal preferences without any issues. Any concerns I had were immediately addressed and none were overlooked. The teams kept the house clean, and made me aware of progress each day. The office staff was also outstanding, any calls I made were always returned quickly and had positive results. The job turned out wonderful. The work looks fantastic. I am very happy with the outcome."

"Our plumber was excellent. Really great customer service. Took the time to explain everything he was doing. Gave us great advice. We called for a drain clog. When he got there, he noticed our water heater was super old and suggested we get a new one soon. He gave us individual quotes for all services. We elected to do a new water heater and he installed it same day. I would definitely recommend this business! Keep up the good work."

"Wonderful job !! My review is on the yearly crawl space maintenance and inspection. Thank you Caden Dyson for being so professional and a nice person. He takes pictures and sends to you so you can see how it still looks. Last year and this year he found a leak under the house, soooo glad he found it, I joke about having him come back every 6 months to check for leaks,Ha. Thank you Caden Dyson and everyone I've talked to in the office. Brenda M"

"Bert and his crew did a great job on my French drain. It only too two days and they was done. Landscaped the area nicely and put down grass seed, which I was not expecting. Give Bert a call."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

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. 

Common causes include hair buildup, soap residue, food particles, and foreign objects. Older pipes can also contribute by facilitating buildup more easily.

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.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. 

To prevent clogs, get yourself:

  • A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. 

  • Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.

  • Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.

P.S.: If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain.
