"The repair person fixed the issue by changing the drain hoses. Previously, the unit had used a single drain hose where two would have been more appropriate. Adding a second hose and replacing the first hose eliminated the drain issues. He also did a good job explaining everything that he did."

"Fitchburg Plumbing did a great job fixing our water heater!  Everything was done fast and it was cost-effective.  We did have to wait on a part that needed to be delivered while they were at our home fixing the water heater, but we were not charged during for the added delivery time.  Friendly and effective!

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Vinegar is better for an AC drain line because it’s less corrosive and won’t damage the pipes. It’s also a safer and easier product to use. Bleach should not be used on your AC drain line because it can corrode your pipes and harm the evaporator coil in your air conditioner.

If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.

Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.

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.

Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.
