"We are more than pleased with our bathroom we just had done. Thanks to the team at Quality Remodeling. 5-Star service is what you get from this company and their prices are more that great if you are like me and didn't have the largest budget. They worked with me to get my bathroom done at a price I could afford. Will us this company again. Thanks!"

"Mahati came to our house to redo our shower, put down flooring, install a new toilet and set a vanity. He was punctual every day and the first day he set up coverings on our floor. Every day he cleaned up all his tools and materials. Mahati’s work is excellent and asked us if he needed to know how we wanted something to look. We are extremely happy with our new bathroom and will recommend this company to anyone looking to have their bathroom remodeled. We are giving Renken Remodeling a well deserved 5 star rating."

"The owner of Tidewater Pro-Build, Trey, contacted me within a day. He listened to my concerns and dispatched Kevin and Steve (the shower door pros) to handle the job. Both men were on-time, looked and acted professional in my home from start to finish. Kevin listened to our concerns, provided us with his professional opinion and he & Steve executed the job with ease. Our bathroom looks great! The shower door shuts perfectly, allowing no water to seep through, the baseboard trim looks great- flush against the wall and the angled cuts that we couldn't do look great! Kevin came up with a plan to fix our barn door which not only provided us with the privacy we were seeking, but he added trim and additional wood around the frame that looks great with the existing trim we had in the neighboring room. I am so pleased! They even cleaned up after themselves, ridding the area of debris and sweeping the floor. I would highly recommend Tidewater Pro-Build to anyone looking to remodel or fix a DIY project gone wrong."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

Plumbers use a variety of tools to help unclog the toughest of drain clogs, but the most common tools they use are drain snakes and augers. They try a plunger or drain snake to start, then move to heavy-duty augers, and finally try using a hydro jetter to blast away the clog with high-pressure water. Hiring a plumber to unclog a drain costs $125 to $300, largely depending on the extent and location of the clog and which of these methods is best for clearing it.

Coke and other sodas do clean a clogged drain, so this is one of those urban myths that has some truth behind it. Coke and similar sodas are caustic and will provide some cleaning power to your drains. However, the power of soda pales in comparison to dedicated cleaners or even baking soda.

If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.
