I called San Antonio Plumbing at 8 am on Thursday 6.20.24 for a potential recurring leak. I had previously been dealing with a main water line issue that had been repaired by another company. The dispatcher said they could have someone out within an hour and a half. Johnny and Israel from San Antonio Plumbing showed up about 30 minutes later. They did a great job throughly checking both the internal and external water system.Turns out we didn’t have a leak after all but some other issues we need to look at (RO system, possible faulty meter, etc.) I truly appreciate the prompt service, free estimate, and honest assessment! I will most definitely call San Antonio Plumbing back for any plumbing related issues!!!

Frequently Ask Question
What do plumbers recommend for unclogging drains?
Plumbers often recommend several methods for unclogging drains, depending on the severity of the clog:
- Plunger: This is the first tool to try for minor clogs. Make sure you have a good seal around the drain and use a firm, consistent plunging motion.
- Drain Snake (or Auger): For more stubborn clogs, a drain snake can reach deeper into the pipes to break up the blockage.
- Enzyme Cleaners: These are eco-friendly options that use bacteria and enzymes to break down organic materials causing the clog. They’re especially useful for maintaining clear drains.
- Hydro Jetting: For severe clogs or buildup, plumbers might use hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to clear out the pipes.
- Professional Inspection: If these methods don’t work, it might be necessary to call a professional plumber to inspect the drain with a camera and determine the best course of action.
How often should drains be professionally cleaned?
It is generally recommended to have your drains professionally cleaned at least once a year. However, the frequency can depend on the usage and the age of the plumbing system. High-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms may require more frequent cleanings, such as every six months, to prevent buildup and clogs.
What should I look for in a drain cleaner?
When choosing a drain cleaner, consider the following:
- Chemical vs. Enzyme Cleaners: Chemical drain cleaners can be very effective but may be harsh on your pipes and harmful to the environment. Enzyme cleaners are more eco-friendly and safer for your plumbing system.
- Type of Clog: Ensure the drain cleaner is suitable for the type of clog you have (e.g., hair, grease, organic material).
- Pipe Compatibility: Check that the cleaner is safe for your pipe material, whether it’s PVC, metal, or older pipes.
- Speed of Action: Some cleaners work faster than others, so if you need a quick fix, look for a fast-acting formula.
- Safety: Look for non-toxic, biodegradable options to minimize environmental impact and ensure the safety of your household.
How often should drains be cleared?
Drains should be cleared regularly to prevent clogs and maintain proper flow. For most households, a good rule of thumb is to clear your drains every month using safe methods like enzyme cleaners or hot water mixed with vinegar and baking soda. High-use drains may need more frequent attention, such as every two weeks.
What is the strongest drain unblocker?
The strongest drain unblockers are typically professional-grade products used by plumbers, such as:
- Sulfuric Acid Cleaners: Extremely powerful but should be used with caution due to their highly corrosive nature.
- Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) Cleaners: Effective against tough clogs but can be dangerous if not used properly.
- Enzyme-Based Cleaners: While not the “strongest” in terms of immediate power, they are very effective for maintaining clear drains without damaging pipes or the environment.
- Hydro Jetting: Not a chemical cleaner, but a professional hydro jetting service is one of the most effective methods for completely clearing severe clogs.
