"I had a great experience with ARS/Manassas thanks to John Curry, their knowledgeable and professional plumber. John provided an in-depth home inspection of my plumbing and educated me on the importance of venting my sinks to avoid moisture buildup, mold, corrosion, and bad odors. He also found that one of my toilets needed a new flapper valve/lift rod and corrected me on how I was using my garbage disposal, advising me to only use it for light particles stuck to my plate. To assist with the upkeep of my plumbing, John recommended that I buy a drain cleaning kit and even called his dispatch to schedule another member of his team to repair my toilet's lift rod. John Curry's expertise and helpfulness were much appreciated during the home inspection. He was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough in his work, and he took the time to educate me and provide valuable advice. Thank you, John Curry and ARS/Manassas!"

"Steven S. Was great. Very nice and knowledgeable. Cost was a bit more than expected but needed to get it done. Most importantly, job done, showed up on time, and left the area very clean. Would hire him again."

"The owner contacted me within minutes of my post to Home Advisor and scheduled a visit the next day to address a clog in my pipes more than 40 ft from my kitchen sink. He was pleasant, worked fast, cleaned up after himself, and solved the problem on the first try. He also made an extra effort to leave my pipe fittings in good order. Best of all - his price was 1/3 the quote of Cardinal Plumbing who quoted the same job."

"Greg called almost immediately when Angi put out the requests for quotes. I needed a semi-emergency water heater replacement. Greg gave me a very reasonable price quote which I accepted. He picked up the replacement water heater from Lowes and proceeded with a very professional install. 100% clean up afterward. Everything about the experience was professional. Highly recommend."

"They were very available because I needed help on the same day and I called several places and no one was available on the same day except for them. They squeezed me in on their schedule and they showed up promptly, got everything done, and they cleaned up after their work. It was great, it was a reasonable fee to a fast and quite a bit of time snaking it through to get it unclogged. They were good. They were very friendly and the owner came on the job along with another serviceman who attended with them and the owner is also a prior military so sometimes that makes a difference too for some people."

Drain Cleaning 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. 

The best way to unclog a bathtub drain is to pour a pot of boiled water down the drain, being careful not to splash yourself. However, take precautions, as boiling water can damage PVC pipes and joints. Follow up with ½ cup of baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a small sink plunger and let it sit for 15 minutes. Pour boiling water down the drain again and replace the drain stopper.

Sometimes, the drain is just too clogged—thanks, stubborn hair and soap scum. In this case, you’ll need a more powerful drain cleaner than you can DIY safely at home. But this doesn’t mean you have to choose a traditional drain cleaner. 

You can find biodegradable drain cleaners at your local home improvement store or online for those drains that need a little more oomph

While on the hunt for a formidable drain cleaner, the best options are non-chemical clog solutions that combine enzymes and bacteria.

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.

You’ll need to stop or pause the machine using its control panel to start the draining process mid-cycle. Remove the items inside, turn off the power to the machine, and then follow the steps above to drain the machine manually.
