"I had a clogged drain that no amount of plunging could get rid of. I called several companies. I initially went with Mr Rooter because they were the only ones that could make it out that same day. Glad I did. The technician was very pleasant and he took his time to explain all the steps he was doing and let me watch as he put a camera down the drain and showed me on the screen where the clog was and all the build-up in the pipes. He then brought in a high pressure washer and I watched on the screen as he cleaned the pipes all the way down to where it joined up with the main sewer line. I initally thought the estimate was a little high, but not after watching all that they (his supervisor also showed up after an hour to help out) did."

"Lane and his helper (sorry I can’t remember name) from Granite Plumbing removed a heating oil tank from basement that was over 1/4 full , drained tank and removed. Very professional, quick and careful. There clean up was immaculate. I appreciate that he was able to adapt to my schedule and come so quickly. I will be contacting Lane for future jobs. I would recommend Granite Plumbing. Thank you Lane"

"The crew who came to the house included: Chris, Josh, Christian and Jeff. They were all very professional and they explained very clearly what work needed to be done and where they would need to cut into walls and ceilings. We have a 3 bathroom house with a full finished basement. The crew attempted to make easy cuts for me to repair. The house was as clean as can be expected after two days of work. The job was done completely and thoroughly. We had an issued with the shut off valve and they returned the next day to fix our issue and Josh came out he was professional and friendly. I would definitely hire them again for any plumbing problem. Robert"

"At first they weren't responsive, likely because our plumbing is not built very well. But then Steve came on a Monday and basically he and I figured out what to do. I had already researched and learned what needed to be done but Steve is a very seasoned, experienced plumber and wow, he's got some great connections with people. He got all the authorities to come really fast to give their approval and he hired an outstanding company too bore for the new main water line.  They were Johnny on the spot about their work and did a great job and were well experienced. I asked Steves son Josh to put a junction box between the work that was being done and the old pipes we had to connect to and Steve didn't know I asked but he was totally on top of it and had exactly what I was thinking was needed right there in his truck when he arrived a few minutes later! He was thinking and acting on our behalf for the future. I guess it was code but he certainly had our best interests at heart! A real great guy. Easy to talk to as well. Very personable. Well, our main concern was that there would be no new leaks in the existing plumbing line we were attaching to. We turned on the water at the street. Turned off all the faucets etc at the house and the little black triangle on the water meter that spins when water goes thru was completely stopped! We couldn't have been happier about that! We're happy campers! Steve pulled it off! Josh did his part well too! All was well except they didn't seem to have a very good system for handling my credit card but they came up with an alright solution.

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

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.

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.
