"I came home from work to find our 40-gallon water heater was not working (it was working that morning). The pilot was out and I could not get it re-lit (I do know how to light a pilot) After checking a number of companies on Angie's List, I contacted DB's Plumbing and Drain. Although it was almost 6pm, a very nice person answered the phone and I explained my dilemma. I was told they could send someone that night but would have to charge an after-hours rate. I was reasonably certain what was wrong would not be a simple fix like re-lighting a pilot so scheduled a visit for the following morning between 10 am and 12 noon. Michael D arrived shortly after 10 am. He was very courteous, polite and professional. Before entering my home, he donned a pair of shoe covers which was kept on as long as he was in the house. He diagnosed the problem as being a failed main burner system. As the water heater was 14-years-old, I weighed the cost of replacing just the main burner system on such an old unit against replacing the unit itself. I opted for the water heater replacement. Michael setup the old unit to drain while he went to retrieve the new one from their warehouse which took him about 45 minutes. Upon his return, he removed the old unit and cleaned up the area. He then cut back the existing copper lines to eliminate the numerous soldered couplings from the previous homeowner's repairs. He installed new copper pipes including a new quarter turn shut-off valve. A catch pan was placed and the water heater setup in it. Up reconnecting the gas line, he installed a sediment trap or drip leg (it did not have one previously) which catches sediment sometimes present in natural gas. After bringing the system online, Michael checked the gas line connections for leaks using a detection monitor. The installation was clean and neat and it is obvious Michael is conscientious about his work. Always interested in how things in my home work, Michael was very gracious in answering my questions regarding the installation. I am very happy with the install.and would like to thank Michael for his professionalism and the education."

"Brinson Plumbing installed a new disposal and a new dishwasher for me. Jeff clearly knew what he was doing and how to do it. He kept the work area clean, putting down a tarp to protect the floor, and even cleaning the area under the old dishwasher. He tested the plumbing and the operation of the new appliances before he left. I would have no hesitation in calling on him again. As to value for the money: plumbers are expensive, who wouldn't want to pay less, but considering that I did not have the tools or the skills or the experience to do this job and Jeff did, he was worth the money."

"I had a plumbing issue that I thought would turn into a major headache, but Mahon Plumbing made the whole process smooth and stress-free. They arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the problem, and had it fixed before I could even make a second cup of coffee. They were professional, knowledgeable, and even gave me a few tips to avoid future issues. The pricing was fair, and there were no surprises on the bill—just great service from start to finish. If you need a plumber who knows what they’re doing and won’t leave you with a mess, I highly recommend Mahon Plumbing. I’ll definitely call them again for any future plumbing needs!"

"Very well. The pipe had a pinhole leak in a copper elbow joint and required cutting the pipe, in a confined space, to drain standing water. G**** Miranda did a remarkable job repairing the pipe and an adjacent supply pipe I elected to have repaired in case its joint might leak. Workmanship was exceptional, potential mess and additional Sheetrock damage was minimized, G**** Miranda worked tirelessly for 3 hours and produced a satisfactory repair."

"We were very impressed with Oscar from Flash Plumbing. He arrived early to get organized for the complex main water being turned off and was swift and efficient. He had advised by us on a few things we didnâ t realize we needed (individual shut off valves and a P trap). A couple of other suggestions for things we could keep an eye on but no pressure to have him do it now. Oscar was courteous and a pleasure to have in our home. He took everything away with him and cleaned up as he went. I would definitely recommend Flash Plumbing to anyone who needs assistance"

"Had an emergency as hvac unit started flooding basement. David Cannon came out from John C. Flood immediately, and cleared out the blockages to the pipes and drains, plus explained in a very easy way to understand about how often the filter needed to be changed with a new dog in the house. He was extremely knowledgeable and worked quickly. I will be calling John C. Flood again, especially knowing they are available 24/7 and knowing how competent their specialists are."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Centreville, 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.
