"Been waiting for a plumber for a week, kept getting appt moved. Finally checked Angi and found Georgeâ s Drains. They called me within 5 minutes of entering my info for a quote. Told me they were on a job but would come after. When Juan & Cameron arrived, they were very professional and went right to work. Had our clogged drain issue resolved in an hour. They cleaned up after themselves and left us with a working drain! Canâ t say enough positive things about these guys! They are young men with a very strong work ethic and enjoy what they do. We would recommend them to everyone and anyone needing a drain unclogged! Great job Juan & Cameron!"

"The gentlemen were very polite and respectful. They came out the same day for an emergency (a severely clogged drain), which was very much appreciated. However, the problem was not solved, despite assurances that it was. A second company came out and found a piece of an old plumbing snake that had somehow been stuck in the pipe, which was causing the clog. The second company believed that the piece should have been able to be detected (and removed) by Sewer & Drain Specialists during the first check, as it was very large. I am not a plumber, so I can only go by what they tell me. I hate leaving anything but glowing reviews, but it is also important to note when things don't go quite so well, to hopefully avoid the same problem in the future, as it did end up costing double what it should have to fix the problem and almost a week of extra time without working toilets/showers/etc."

"I called them when I was out of town to repair a sewer backup, or so I thought. They came promptly when they said they would and my neighbor explained the situation. Jason snaked out the line and ran a camera through the pipe at which time they discovered the line my washer and two sinks were connected to was the storm drain and not the sewer. Jason came out the next week after I got back to town and ran the lines to the city sewer line per code. Excellent work. He even moved my washer up to my garage where we had decided to place it. He did a very neat job. I also called him the following day to repair a copper line that had leaked in the past, unrelated to the previous day's work. Very efficient and fast. He came within the hour to do the work."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups. 

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

It is safe to flush small amounts of bleach down the toilet. Don’t flush more than ¼ cup of bleach. Instead, consider diluting it and pouring it down the sink drain.

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.

No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.
