"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

The best drain cleaners are biodegradable ones or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Strong, caustic chemicals may seem appealing with promises of unclogging your drain quickly, but liquid drain cleaners can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.

Yes, flushing a clogged toilet can make it overflow. While flushing the toilet may push enough pressure through the system to dislodge the clog, this is unlikely. Your best bet is to use a plunger and hope the suction can break up whatever is blocking the pipe. If this doesn’t work, use a plumbing auger or call a pro to help.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.
