A backed-up drain can shut down a whole household in minutes. I have spent the last three months testing the best drain cleaning machines on the market, working through grease, hair, soap scum, and even some rogue tree roots in my own plumbing and a few rental properties. The average plumber charges $150 to $300 … Read more
