"This was amazing! I had no idea this service existed. After searching and contacting various repair places for my washer, this was the most cost effective option. I figured if it didn't work, my machine is old and I would be out $40, not the $100+ to have a tech come out and just diagnose the problem. I am pretty handy and my washer is old anyway, so if it is broken, I have to get a new one anyway. My tech, Steve, was great! He predicted what was wrong after listening to the machine, calmly walked me through dismantling the machine and when we got down to the motor, he was right! He sent me a link to the part I would need, and let me know to contact them again if I needed help installing it. My machine works even better than before it broke, its beautifully quiet and efficient. I will definitely be saving this company for any future repairs on appliances I may need. The service was $40 + the part cost, which was about $8."

Drain clog or blockage clearings FAQs

It may only take five minutes to snake a drain for loose clogs near the tub, toilet, or sink basin. However, clogs near the main line can take hours to resolve, especially if they affect multiple pipes. Plumbers have the skills, experience, and equipment to get the job faster, though you may pay a premium for their help.

Sometimes, using a snake to unclog a drain can cause more damage than intended. Too much force risks scratching the surface and damaging the coating, which could eventually cause cracks to develop. Depending on what’s obstructing the drain, the snake could worsen the problem by jamming the debris tighter and further down the pipe. It’s best to hire a pro with experience tackling a variety of clogged pipes.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent clogged drains is to install snug mesh screens over the drain openings in your sinks, bath, and shower. This tool prevents hair, food particles, and other solid items from entering the drain and forming clogs. A non-corrosive bacteriological drain cleaner is also a smart option to reduce the chances you’ll need to absorb the cost of unclogging a drain.

Hiring a Roto-Rooter professional for drain-clearing services costs between $160 and $450, depending on the complexity of the project. Roto-Rooter costs to snake drains are usually charged on a flat rate basis rather than an hourly fee. These job estimates may include the price of the sewer inspection and the Roto-Rooter sewer line cleaning cost. However, they do not cover the additional cost of repairs or parts replacement.
