"Excellent service! They were able to come out the day I called to evaluate our well that evening. They were able to a**** the problem and detect exactly what the root cause instead of masking it with a water filtration system as another professional had recommended. Dexter's plumbing went above & beyond helping us and we greatly appreciate it. We highly recommend them."

"I have used McCarthy before for plumbing issues, and when my AC began to not perform I reached out to them based on that positive experience. The service technician Asghar did a really great job of inspecting the system and explaining the current condition. Really a great experience."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

You can temporarily patch a leaking copper pipe using epoxy putty or adhesive tape. These are not permanent solutions, and you will eventually need to remove and replace the damaged portion of the pipe. 

For a smaller pinhole, you can solder it closed using plumbing flux. Again, this is only a temporary solution, but it will give you time to hire a plumber and go over your options.

It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours to drain the water lines in a house. Larger homes or homes with more complex systems will take more time, while smaller homes with a single bathroom and fewer appliances will take less time. Turning off the water and opening all the faucets should only take a few minutes to half an hour, but the rest of the job is time spent waiting for the water to drain.

While you may have some water, it's best to wait until after the repair is complete to use your home's pipes. For one thing, the water pressure will most likely be greatly reduced, leading to a less-than-intense shower. There's also the risk of contamination from dirt and bacteria that can enter the broken water main pipe. In many cases, a pro will turn off the flow of water from your water main to do the repairs, so showering won’t likely be an option.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.
