"Gray water was packing up into our sink. We called Benjamin Franklin, requesting emergency service. Jamie showed up 30 minutes later. Extremely personable, professional, and knowledgeable, he quickly identified that we had a blockage in our gray water line and our gutter overflow. He was able to identify both lines underground and meticulously removed all the debris. Both lines were up and flowing within 30 minutes. Amazing! Benjamin Franklin is a great company with professional services from start to finish! Highly recommend!"

"Jason (and his crew) are wonderful! They installed a tankless hot water heater for me (moving locations from the old tank water heater). They got the job done quickly, for a fair price and communicated with me through the whole process. I then hired them to do a shower tear out and install. It turned out gorgeous and the quality of work was outstanding! Super efficient and fairly priced. And the cleanest I have ever had a job left, even on demo day everything was super clean. From someone who has hired 100+ contractors over the years I would say they are top notch and would highly recommend."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Aiken, SC

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.
