I'm a licensed plumber in the triad area, with 15 years of experience in new construction residential and commercial, remodel and service

"Eduardo contacted me directly. He was able to suggest a possible solution to my problem over the phone and give me a fair quote. Other companies wanted a service fee just to come out and one was double because it’s a weekend. My leaking toilet was repaired within the hour. Eduardo was respectful and professional. I will call him again for my next plumbing concern."

Since 1967, Eanes Heating and Air Conditioning has been providing high quality heating and cooling products and services across the Piedmont Triad Area of North Carolina. Centrally located in High Point, NC, the Eanes service area covers the cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Thomasville, Lexington, Randleman, and all points in between. As a local, family-owned business, Eanes takes great pride in providing trusted advice and straight-talk service on HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance for both commercial and residential applications. Additional phones - (336) 727-0120, (336) 475-8715, (336) 993-6819.(336) 287-0083. Award winning. Additional contact names - Karen Eanes, Angie Eanes.

"The “Comfort Specialist”, aka highly trained salesman, Jared Reeves was very professional and informative. He even came to my house on a Sunday to quote a new AC/furnace system, and he answered several texts with additional questions I had before signing the quote into a contract. The contract laid out, in very clear terms, what equipment would be installed and the labor involved. Unfortunately, that is where Jared’s communication stopped, despite his (and Eanes’) promise to make anything that wasn’t done correctly on the install or the equipment, made right. The day of install started early at 8am and ran long to 9:30pm. I was home the entire day, and I checked in several times to see how the progress was going. The installers were great, but I did have to question (and convince) them to replace the drain pan when they informed me they were not going to put in a new one. A new drain pan was included on the signed quote/contract, as the original was rusted in several spots and clearly needed to be replaced. After convincing them to do that, I noticed that the new return plenum and furnace drop which was included on the signed contract was not being done. When I questioned that, I was told that it was not included on the punch order. Jared (the salesman) and I specifically discussed the new return and plenum during his visit, as the inside of the original return/drop was quite dirty and dusty, naturally and perhaps the M-word (moldy). I did not feel the installers cut corners, but the new return and drop box promised by Jared and included in the contact were a hard “no, that wasn’t part of the plan” from the installers. I sent Jared a text immediately to inform him, but I did not ever hear back. The sale was done, and so it seems was he (despite sitting in my dining room with his sales pitch, promising that anything not done right would be made so, on his dollar if needed). I emailed Jared and Eanes Customer Service several times over the next week, and I got zero reply. I asked for a refund of the cost of material/labor on the return/drop that was in the contract and not fulfilled. Updated as of 7/30/2024 All issues have been resolved."

We highly recommend Sofia and will hire again."

Drain cleaning services FAQs

The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.

On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.

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.

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.
