John was fantastic! He was kind, intentional, and took the time to thoroughly assess the issue before getting to work. He went above and beyond to make sure our drain was fully unclogged and running properly. We truly appreciated his professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

From my first phone call to Drain Masters they (Charity) were attentive, responsive and clear in terms of options and costs. They got us on the schedule quickly as well. Great communication during the entire process. The techs, Devin and Eric, clearly knew what they were doing, easy to talk with, explained things clearly and got the job done quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this company. (Just for context, this was a commercial call to a relatively old church building, so a little more complicated, I'm guessing, than a residential call.) We did need a follow up visit, and I'm happy to say that it was taken care of efficiently and professionally, just as the first was. I'm very happy with DrainMaster.

Great customer service. John was very knowledgeable at what he does. I was so glad to have found Drain Masters. They were able to schedule me in quickly ( next day) compared to the other company (a 24 hr emergency service plumbing company ) which was scheduled a week out. ??

Carl was extremely friendly. He explained what he was going to do and why and the cost. I would recommend using Plumbing and Drains to anybody. I will use them again. I called yesterday around 4 pm and they arrived around 9-9:30 am this morning. My drain is running clear because Carl made sure it was.

Parson's Drains and Plumbing were magnificent. Matt and Trevor showed up at the time stated in the email, and the call. They were eager to get the job accomplished as well. As the job got started Matt and Trevor would explain each step if necessary. They were polite, and knowledgeable about their profession. The job took about an hour and Matt and Trevor had me come down to examine their work. They explained in detail how the new Hot water heater worked; thus, stated if there were any issues just call. Matt and Trevor then cleaned up the job over and beyond. I'd recommend Parsons Drains and Plumbing. Matt and Trevor were A class. I would recommend Parsons Plumbing and Drains because of their Performance, Friendliness, and the fabulous value. Thank You.

Nathan Casper came out to hydro blast our main sewer line, there were numerous tree roots blocking it. Nathan was very polite, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He did a great job and explained everything thoroughly! Eco plumbers quoted me more than double what this company charged, and they made multiple trips to my home to try and sell me; telling me the cost of the equipment, etc. I highly recommend this company and Nathan!

I recently hired Eco Plumbers and felt that I paid a higher-than-average price with the expectation of receiving higher-quality work. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t match that expectation. Instead of removing the old piping and installing new lines to properly fit the new water heater, the technician retrofitted everything onto the existing setup, which led to work that didn’t look as clean or well-planned as I had hoped. A few weeks later, I noticed my wood trim was warm to the touch because the water heater had been placed directly against the wall. When I requested a follow-up visit, the technician was argumentative about repositioning it. I even shared photos of a neighbor’s nearly identical layout where the heater fit properly, but the technician still pushed back. He eventually adjusted the unit by draining it and pushing it forward, without reworking the piping that should have been addressed initially. This left the pipes bent and angled awkwardly going into the heater. For the price I paid, I expected a more professional finish and a smoother experience. Additionally, during installation I was told by their HVAC technician that I needed a completely new flue. However, when the city inspector arrived to approve the water heater, she informed me that a new flue was not required. This left me feeling uncertain about the guidance I received. Overall, based on my experience, the work felt rushed and not as thorough as I expected given the cost. I hope the company takes feedback like this seriously, as quality workmanship and clear communication make a major difference for customers.

Parker was very pleasant to talk to. He came in, reviewed the project, asked if I had any questions about the job he was going to do? He laid down a drop cloth roll from my door, down the stairs and over to his worksite. Afterwards, Parker brought his tools and supplies in, then went to work. Parker was very thorough. He cleaned up to the point where I kept saying I'll get or do that. Parker didn't listen 🤣 I liked his workmanship and his work ethics. If I did plumbing work again, I'm definitely calling Eco. If I can, I'm going to request Parker. Good job Parker and Eco.

Stacy was excellent! She called half an hour in advance of her scheduled arrival, showed up right on time, communicated clearly, and worked with me in exploring various options for fixing my plumbing issue. All my communications with 1-Tom-Plumber were good experiences, which I very much appreciate, and stands in stark contrast to what I have come to expect from other contractors I have worked with in the area. The only downside to my experience was the hourly labor price, which seemed very steep to me. That said, my overall experience was positive, and head and shoulders better than it has been with the 3-4 other plumbing companies in the area I had previously tried. I will definitely reach out to 1-Tom-Plumber again for future jobs.

We have found our new go-to plumber! 1-Tom-Plumber is one of the best service providers we have ever encountered. Our pipes burst late at night and the next morning Marquez and Brindy were at our house ready to repair and restore our water service. They were prompt, knowledgeable, professional, and such a pleasure to work with. Not only did they replace and upgrade our burst pipes, they installed our new touch kitchen faucet. The price was fantastic for all of the work they completed, and they even gave us a complimentary plunger and a tennis ball for our dog! When we called other providers, an A.I. assistant would answer the phone and run us around in circles. When we called 1-Tom, an actual human answered the phone (even late at night) and set everything up for us - just awesome!! Highly, highly recommended.

The work area was left clean, and everything was tested thoroughly before they left. Fair pricing and great communication throughout. I would absolutely recommend them and will use them again

I needed to have a new kitchen faucet installed. Waterworks was recommended to me by a friend. Just to be sure I checked out their reviews online, which added up to 4.7 out of 5 stars. I called at 7:45 a.m. the day after New Years Day (a Friday morning), and an actual human, who spoke understandable English, answered. I explained my problem, and she checked that day's scheduled openings, of which there were none. That didn't surprise me, but then I was happily surprised when she offered me an appointment Monday morning. I happily booked it, and, sure enough , Kameron showed up right around 8:30. After some show and tell on my part, he quickly, efficiently, and professionally got to work. He found that I needed new hot and cold water shut-off valves with new 1/4-turn angle stops for improved serviceability, which I authorized him to do after showing me the problem. He was most polite, personable and respectful to me and of my home, and knowledgable, finishing the job in a timely manner and to my complete satisfaction. I am putting Waterworks (and Kameron) on my speed dial for any future needs. Can't recommend them highly enough!

We called a few plumbers for the same issue at Horizon High School. They all came, inspected the problem, and left after giving us repair quotes. Thomas from Water Works was different. He carefully examined the issue, explained how the system works in detail, and offered a very effective solution. He didn’t just give us a quote — he took the time to help us understand the problem and then fixed it properly. We truly appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and clear communication. Highly recommended!

My intention was to have sent this email a few days ago, but it is only now that I have the opportunity to do so. I want to express my appreciation to Waterworks for the prompt response to our request for emergency services on Tuesday 1/27 and especially to Mat Ball, the technician who, despite weather conditions, made it to our home early that morning. Mat was knowledgeable and diligent and took care of the situation in a timely and professional manner. When the job was completed, he walked us through all that was needed to get it done. Many people take care of business, what sets Mat apart is the pleasant demeanor he exhibits while performing his responsibilities. Great Job, J.A.Mesquida

Needed a new garbage disposal, and another minor repair done under the kitchen sink. Dave arrived during the time promised, was kind, and did the work without up-selling any products / services. He respected my decisions, and finished quickly and left the work area spotless. This is the business to call!

Wow! I couldn't be happier with my service. Dave was professional, friendly and transparent with everything that needed to be done. I was given a price quote for everything before it was started and was able to choose what services I wanted. I expected to spend a lot more than I did. He explained why things went wrong and made suggestions for upkeep in the future. Far and away the best plumber I've ever dealt with. He fixed something I was told was not fixable by 2 previous companies. I could go on, bottom line, if you want great service at a reasonable price, call Hesson!

Common Drain Issues in Columbus

Many of Columbus’s most charming neighborhoods, like German Village and Clintonville, are home to massive, mature trees. Their root systems are notorious for infiltrating older clay sewer lines, leading to frequent and frustrating backups that require professional snaking or jetting.

With the city’s history of rapid expansion, many homes feature a mix of plumbing materials. Transitioning from old cast iron to modern PVC can create 'snag points' where debris and grease accumulate, especially in busy kitchens near the University District where high-occupancy housing puts extra strain on drains.

Heavy Ohio thunderstorms can quickly overwhelm local drainage systems. When the Scioto or Olentangy rivers rise, it can put pressure on residential floor drains, causing basement backflow that requires immediate professional intervention to prevent water damage.

Hard water is a common issue across Central Ohio. Over time, mineral scale builds up inside your pipes, narrowing the passage and making it much easier for hair, soap scum, and food particles to create a total blockage that standard retail cleaners simply can't dissolve.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Columbus

Before the first hard frost hits Central Ohio, ensure your outdoor drains and gutters are clear of fallen leaves to prevent ice damming and basement seepage during the winter melt.

With Columbus’s cold winters, keep your indoor drains flowing by avoiding pouring any fats or oils down the sink; grease solidifies even faster when pipes are chilled by the Ohio frost.

As the ground thaws and spring rains arrive in the Scioto Valley, check your basement floor drains for standing water, which can be an early sign that your main line is struggling with the increased water table.

During the humid Columbus summers, organic matter can trap odors in slow drains. A monthly flush with hot water and white vinegar can help keep the pipes in your Short North or Dublin home smelling fresh.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Columbus

$145-$450

In Columbus, the cost of drain cleaning depends on the location of the clog and the technology used. A standard drain snaking for a single fixture typically starts around $145, while emergency hydro-jetting for a main sewer line can reach $450 or more depending on the severity.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Columbus

How fast can I get a plumber to my home in Columbus?

Because we call and verify 24/7 availability for plumbers in your specific Columbus zip code before you even talk to them, we can often find a technician who can be at your door within a few hours.

Do you have plumbers available for old homes in German Village?

Yes. Our network includes Columbus experts who specialize in the unique challenges of historic plumbing, such as clay pipes and narrow drain lines common in neighborhoods like German Village and Victorian Village.

Are your Columbus plumbers available on weekends and holidays?

Absolutely. We specifically filter for 24-hour availability, ensuring that even if your drain overflows on a holiday or during a big Ohio State game, we can find a pro who is ready to work.

What is the most common cause of clogged drains in Columbus?

In addition to standard grease and hair, Columbus residents frequently deal with tree root intrusion in older neighborhoods and mineral buildup due to the region's relatively hard water.

Is hydro-jetting necessary for Columbus homes?

Hydro-jetting is often recommended for Columbus homes with recurring main line clogs or significant root intrusion, as it provides a more thorough cleaning than a standard snake, especially in older sewer systems.
