"BRINSON & Son came out to our house last week to fix a leak and replace some faucets. Despite arriving a little late, They did an excellent job and recommended some further work to be done this week. I gladly accepted their recommendation and booked them for 2 PM. Fast forward to 2:15 PM this week, and I haven?t heard a single thing from them about our scheduled appointment. I call and they admit they completely forgot about the job, did not apologize, but offered to at least come out between 5:30-6. I accepted. Fast forward to 6:45. I call again. Now they say they are NOT able to come out, still did not apologize, and they did not offer a reschedule or anything. I have never been more flabbergasted by a business in my life. I paid on time, and I was respectful, kind, understanding. Why should my wife and I be disrespected like that? I would give them 1 star, but the initial work they did was great, just don?t expect them to come back for the follow-up work. "

"Devante (sp?) did a GREAT job! He cleared the drain very quickly and cleaned up the area afterwards. He took the time to review/discuss other projects I’m considering having done around the house and gave me lots of good advice. It was a pleasure meeting him and I will DEFINITELY contact him when I need help in the future."

Customer safety is also very important to Beacon Home Services. That's why all our employees have gone through background checks so you can be sure that you're in good hands with Beacon Home Services.

"I hired Beacon to install an attic fan and route the two exhaust vents from my restrooms outside. With the attic fan, I don't have any complaints. It seems to be working as intended. I cannot say the same for the restroom vents. The tech had to come to my home on three separate days to fix an issue. 1. He had attached the vent pipes in a Y design. Which ended up reducing the fan efficiency and it pushed the steam to the other restroom. It also caused the fan to drip water. 2. He added dampers. Which then blocked the steam from leaving completely. We had to use a dehumidifier to shower. 3. When I finally persuaded then to dedicate a line to each fan. I was charged an additional amount. Unfortunately, my fan STILL drips water. Meaning it was not installed correctly. So, I'm not sure what I as the customer can realistically do but to avoid them. Pictures attached show dripping and the one exhaust port for the two fans. Installed in the eave? Not sure this is code."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Alexandria, VA

Snaking a simple clog near a tub, toilet, or sink often takes about five minutes. Deeper blockages along the main line can stretch the job to a few hours because the pro must feed extra cable and may need a camera to confirm the pipe is clear. Either way, specialized tools help pros work quickly and keep your drains running for the long haul.

Aggressive snaking can scratch pipes, push debris deeper, or even crack older lines. That risk is low with an experienced plumber who matches the cable size to the pipe and eases the snake through bends instead of forcing it. If you’re unsure of your technique—or your pipes are already fragile—calling a licensed pro is the safest, and often cheapest, move.

Start with simple barriers: mesh screens on every tub, shower, and sink keep hair, food bits, and jewelry out of the pipes. Skip harsh chemicals; a monthly flush with hot (not boiling) water clears light buildup without damaging plastic lines. Finally, practice smart disposal—no grease, wipes, or kitty litter down the drain—and schedule routine cleanings if you have older plumbing.

Roto‑Rooter typically charges a flat $160 to $450 for standard snaking, which may include a quick sewer inspection and basic clean‑out. Exact pricing depends on the clog’s location and complexity. Repairs or part replacements fall outside that flat fee, so ask for a line‑item estimate if your tech spots broken pipe sections or recommends additional work.

Most liquid cleaners rely on caustic chemicals that eat through hair and grime—but they also erode metal and even some plastics over time. Repeated use strips protective pipe coatings and can leave you with leaks or premature failures. If hot water or a plunger doesn’t help, call a plumber for mechanical removal instead of pouring more chemicals down the line.
