What it costs

What drain cleaning costs in Rectortown.

Where the clog sits decides the price. A sink, tub or shower drain is one fixture. When every drain in the house is slow or water comes up the lowest one, it’s the main line, and that’s a bigger machine and a longer run.

Drain cleaning, one fixture

$200 to $800

Main sewer line cleaning

$550 to $1,650

Sewer camera inspection, added to a visit

$89

Prices checked .

If the main line clogs again inside a year, or the cable comes back with roots, a camera look for $89 on the same visit tells you whether it’s a clog or a broken pipe. We show you the picture either way.

Comfort+ membership is $199 a year for four visits: a dryer vent cleaning, a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection, a heating maintenance visit and a cooling maintenance visit.

What’s different in Rectortown

Rectortown’s old houses stand on stone cellars, and the laundry and floor drain live down there.

The register lists stone foundations under most of the village’s historic dwellings, and a few, like the old Brick Store House at Maidstone and Rectortown Roads, stand on a full raised stone basement. In a house like that the laundry usually ended up in the cellar, with a floor drain beside the machine. Those two openings are the lowest in the house, so they tell you first when the line is closing.

A drain that leaves through a stone wall has no easy cleanout. Whoever added the plumbing drilled through rock or ran it low across the cellar floor, and the cleanout, if there is one, may be behind the furnace. We find it, or we work from the floor drain or the laundry standpipe. Tell us where the washer sits and we’ll bring the right length of cable.

Cellars like these stay cold. A kitchen line that drops into a cold basement and runs along the wall chills what’s in it, so cooking fat that was liquid at the sink sets up hard in the pipe by the stone. That’s why a Rectortown kitchen drain can run fine for a month, then slow in January and stay slow. Clearing it takes a pass with a cutter, then hot water to carry out what’s left.

The January 2016 storm left an estimated two to three feet of snow across northern Fauquier, and a house full of people stuck at home runs more laundry, more dishes and more baths than usual. If a drain slows in a long cold stretch, don’t wait for the thaw. Cold pipe holds a partial clog, and the weekend you can’t leave is the worst time to find out it’s full.

Which clog it is

One slow drain, or the whole house backing up in Rectortown.

The cellar drain gurgles when the washer drains

That’s the water in the washer’s line meeting a partial blockage and trying for the nearest opening. Stop the washer, run a hot tap upstairs, and call. If the floor drain starts to rise, the cellar is next.

Only one sink or tub is slow

If the kitchen sink backs up but the bathroom drains fine, the clog is in that branch, usually grease or food in the kitchen, hair and soap in a tub. That’s a one-fixture clearing.

Water comes up the lowest drain

When the washer drains and water shows up in a basement shower or floor drain, or flushing a toilet bubbles the tub, the clog is past the branches in the main line. Stop running water until it’s cleared.

Choosing who clears it

How to pick the best plumber for drain cleaning in Rectortown.

Questions to ask anybody who offers to clear a drain, us included.

  1. Will they find the cleanout before they cut into anything?

    In a stone-cellar house the cleanout may be hidden or missing. A good crew looks for one, tries the floor drain and the standpipe, and only pulls a fixture as a last resort. Ask what they plan to do before they open a wall.

  2. Do they price it before they run the cable?

    You should hear whether it’s a one-drain clearing or the main line, and the price for it, before anybody feeds a cable in. A price that shows up after the work is a bad sign.

  3. Do they push chemicals or a new line on the first visit?

    A clear drain doesn’t need a bottle of anything, and a single clog is not a reason to dig. If someone jumps to replacing the sewer line without a camera picture, get a second look.

Questions

Drain questions from Rectortown.

Our Rectortown kitchen drain runs fine in summer and clogs in winter. Why?

Because grease sets when the pipe is cold. A line through an unheated cellar or along a stone wall chills, and fat hardens on the inside. We clear it, and hot water after each big cooking day keeps it from rebuilding.

I’m buying one of the older houses in the village. Should the drains be checked?

Yes, before closing. A home inspection seldom runs water at every fixture and watches the drains. Having us run the cable through the main and the kitchen line tells you what you’re buying.

How much does drain cleaning cost in Rectortown?

One clogged sink, tub or shower drain is $200 to $800. A main line backing up into the house is $550 to $1,650. Where the clog is and how far down it sits moves the number inside that range.

Should I pour a drain cleaner in first?

Better not. The strong ones can sit in the trap, damage older pipe, and splash back on whoever opens the drain next. Try a plunger on a sink or tub, and if that doesn’t move it, call.
