"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

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

A plumber can get to the bottom of your smelly drain and clean it with specialized jets, hoses, and drain-safe cleaning solutions. It is also smart to call in a plumber if you suspect your drain smell is coming from a stubborn clog or even a leaky pipe.

When you put baking soda and vinegar down the drain, they chemically react and help break down clogs. It’s not going to work for every type of clog, however. For example, it’s not the best way to get rid of grease buildup. For grease, you should try boiling water and white vinegar instead.

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

There are several ways to tell if your gutter downspout drain is backed up. The most obvious sign is when you see water flowing over your gutter edges. This can occur during everything from light rain to a rainstorm. Additional signs can include peeling paint around your downspout, visible dirt around your downspout, and moisture on the side of the house. If you're having ongoing problems with clogs caused by a poorly designed or worn-out gutter system, consider getting a quote for gutter replacement cost.
