"As a person in the plumbing trades both new construction and service work I have come to appreciate the skills of someone who does a craft full time and is encouraged to develop skills to make it “their” full time occupation and career. Drain cleaning is part of maintaining a plumbing system. It is a craft different than installing and repairing plumbing but it is just as important to do it correctly. The other values in McDonough’s services are several having the equipment and personnel trained and available is paramount to this no matter how big a job has gotten they have never stopped until it was completed! The other feature that is not fully understood by many is that it is always best to use someone that has only one purpose in mind and that is to get the drain cleaned and inspected and has no reason to up sell you on some repairs or replacement that you don’t need. That why we use them as a plumbing company and recommend them to our valued clients. Great company that invests in training, retaining and having the equipment that their service people need to be efficient, productive and provide the services that they are being relied on to provide."

"My water heater was making some noise so I called them to come out and look at it and clean/fix or replace if necessary. The cost was $240 and I debated whether to get a new standard 40 gallon gas water heater for the $1,000 they quoted me but I did not."

"Great company - very expensive but a good company. They get the job done right- but also I think I paid $562 for a drain to get snaked. Granted it was a really tough clog but it also was $562 to get a drain snaked."

"I purchased my townhouse from an owner who liked to do his own repairs and installs. My kitchen sink must have been a favorite project. In a series of repairs, the drain connection from the dishwasher was moved from the plumbing to the disposal - but the connection was never capped. Imagine the waterworks when part of the drain gets clogged, and the only way out is through the uncapped drain. It was a disturbing sewage-spouting show spraying under my sink. Once I realized the source of the unwanted aquatic display, Twin Cities Pipeworks came to my rescue. Dave repaired all of the “ Mr. Fix-it” specials and left me with the most beautiful plumbing setup. No more sewage surprises ! One of the best relationships you can have is with a good plumber. I am so lucky to have found mine. Thanks, Dave!"

"We had a deep clog in our bathroom sink that was unable to be touched by chemicals or our hand-crank snake.  I called Burkhardt Plumbing primarily due to prices shown on previous reviews and their hours available.  We scheduled an appointment for the next day.  When Chris arrived, he listened to what we'd done to date and got right to work.  He managed to disassemble the trap with no mess, and successfully unclogged our sink with a power snake.  As he was reassembling the trap, he noticed a small hole in the trap and replaced it on the spot for $10 extra (which was also the amount of our Angie's List discount, so it was essentially free).  Chris was very courteous and willing to answer any questions I had.  My only complaint was that he showed up about 20 minutes late to our appointment, but I was able to call him for a progress report and he arrived before his new estimated time.

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Afton, MN

Snaking a simple clog near a tub, toilet, or sink often takes about five minutes. Deeper blockages along the main line can stretch the job to a few hours because the pro must feed extra cable and may need a camera to confirm the pipe is clear. Either way, specialized tools help pros work quickly and keep your drains running for the long haul.

Aggressive snaking can scratch pipes, push debris deeper, or even crack older lines. That risk is low with an experienced plumber who matches the cable size to the pipe and eases the snake through bends instead of forcing it. If you’re unsure of your technique—or your pipes are already fragile—calling a licensed pro is the safest, and often cheapest, move.

Start with simple barriers: mesh screens on every tub, shower, and sink keep hair, food bits, and jewelry out of the pipes. Skip harsh chemicals; a monthly flush with hot (not boiling) water clears light buildup without damaging plastic lines. Finally, practice smart disposal—no grease, wipes, or kitty litter down the drain—and schedule routine cleanings if you have older plumbing.

Roto‑Rooter typically charges a flat $160 to $450 for standard snaking, which may include a quick sewer inspection and basic clean‑out. Exact pricing depends on the clog’s location and complexity. Repairs or part replacements fall outside that flat fee, so ask for a line‑item estimate if your tech spots broken pipe sections or recommends additional work.

Most liquid cleaners rely on caustic chemicals that eat through hair and grime—but they also erode metal and even some plastics over time. Repeated use strips protective pipe coatings and can leave you with leaks or premature failures. If hot water or a plunger doesn’t help, call a plumber for mechanical removal instead of pouring more chemicals down the line.
