"Due to a cancellation (a rare occurrence I 'm sure) Richard was able to come the same day I called. This is the second time I have used his service, and I will use him every time I need plumbing problems solved. Richard was professional, knowledgable, worked efficiently and thoroughly. He made an excellent recommendation for the kitchen faucet. I love it. He cleaned up everything. In short, he did a great job at a reasonable price. He's wonderful!

"I had a leaking hose bibb and had to shut off the water main when I wasn't needing to use water, as it was a pretty steady leak. They were able to come out first thing the next morning and arrived on schedule. They needed to replace the hose bibb and had all materials with them. It was done quickly, cleanly, and professionally. They are licensed in both Washington and Idaho. I would definitely use them again."

"We were very pleased with the job that Shane did for us, he came out quickly and completed the job quickly and even gave us advice on a hot/cold faucet in our garage. He went so far as to help us schedule our sewer line inspection to be sure we didn’t have roots penetrating them(something I had forgotten to do lol). Overall we were very satisfied, not only was his work quality but his price was more than reasonable compared to other estimates we had received! We will definitely keep his card around for any and all future plumbing here at our home! Thanks again!!!"

"It was good. They were excellent. They over exceeded my expectations. I have a cellar type basement and there was some standing water on the floor from the old water heater leak. He not only took out the old water heater but he cleaned up the mess from it. That wasn't even expected. I highly recommend them. The prices weren't overly outrageous; they were competitive with other companies. I would use them again."

"Riley was professional and friendly. After asking several questions he went straight to clean out the drain under our sink and gave us a primer on what can and can’t go down the garbage disposal and how to flush it ourselves. After 10 minutes of work he left. We had expected a bigger job, and possibly a new garbage disposal. Instead, he said he rather we call him if we ever need a plumber again, instead of charging us for 10 minutes of work. We appreciated his integrity and attitude, and will 100% call him if we have plumbing issues again."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

You should flush your AC drain line once every three months to keep it clear of debris and buildup. Keeping your AC drain line clean prevents clogs, backups, mold growth, and extra wear on your AC unit. If you live in a humid area or have several furry pets, up your cleaning schedule to once a month.

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you’ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you’re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.

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.

Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.
