Drain flows from garage into kitchen, under heater closet with overflow pipe, on to bathrooms and out to the street. Clogged drain between heater closet/overflow pipe and first bathroom. Access from garage drain access or heater closet overflow pipe. Looking for price estimate to clean out that drain. Thanks.

city crew cleared city drain up the street from my house and now my house has water backing up and not draining out when using the toilet or shower.

Clogged drains can occur when something that has no place in your drain finds its way there. For this reason, keeping your drains clean can be as simple as making sure not to shove undesirable things down your drains. Never shove bones, egg shells, banana peels, coffee grounds, grease and other objects down your garbage disposal. Avoid flushing sanitary products and diapers down your toilet, and keep your shower and tub drain covered with strainers to catch soap residue, body oils, stray hairs etc. Keep your strainers clean and free from debris. Run hot water down your drains at least once a week.
If you still end up with a clogged drain problem, use your trusty plumber to clean your drain. Every home should have a plunger, one for toilets and another for sinks. With any plunger, remember that results will depend on how much suction you can manage to produce with the plunger. Also, bear in mind, that plungers rarely work with just a few pumps, and you'll have to plunge at least 15 to 20 times with rapid movements to be able to dislodge the clog. When a plunger doesn't seem to help dislodge the clog, use a plumber's snake to clear the drain. A plumber's snake is a flexible apparatus with a handle at one end, and a hook at the other. By turning the handle, you can hook the clog and then remove it from the drain.
It doesn't take much to keep your drain clog free. Be careful of what you push down your kitchen sink or toilet, use tub and shower strainer covers to catch stray hairs and pieces of soap, and run hot water down your drains regularly. If you find yourself with a clogged drain that you simply can't fix, hire a professional drain cleaner to help clean your drain. We can help you find the best drain cleaning services for your needs.
