"We just had a new refrigerator delivered and water continued to leak. We had thought that it was the old refrigerator that the water was leaking from but it persisted even after my husband turned off all the water in the house. and he had to put an endless array of towels to sop up the water oozingt out.I telphoned DB's Plumbing and Drain at approximately 1:30 pm and was told that the plumber would arrive between 2 and 4. Shane arrived around 3 pm. (This in itself was remarkable as we have been waiting for deliveries of appliances and no one ever arrived during their stated range of hours or even the same day.) Shane was friendly and professional. He immediately told us that he knew what the problem was as he has seen it numerous times. The plastic had worn out and there was a breakdown on the line, He replaced the plastic pipe with copper."

Customers say: Quality work

"Plumber showed up on time. Plumber fixed the issue properly, and did not seem rushed. He was patient while we thoroughly tested the repair he made. Plumber did not do an unnecessary work. The previous plumber had a high estimate including work that did not need to be done. Plumber did only the work needed at a reasonable price. We have used him since to do other plumbing work for us and will continue to use him."

"I had Mayco Andrade Plumbing come to my house to give me a free estimate on repairing or replacing my toilets, replacing my kitchen faucet and replacing the pop-up drain in my master bathroom. The plumber Ariel took his time and explained everything to me. He also told me he would recommend me replacing the entire toilet because if you repair it, it could leak. I searched for other plumbers to compare the estimates however, every other plumber I called charged a fee for an estimate. They would wave the fee if I decided to go with that company. I did not want to pay an estimate fee so I called to schedule Mayco Andrade Plumbing. Ariel came back to my house. When he went to shut the water off to replace the kitchen faucet. He noticed I needed new valves. Again he explained what having bad valves meant. I decided to replace the valves and Ariel replaced them first. I was always watching him and asking questions. He always took his time to explain everything to me. I really love my new faucet, toilets, and I'm glad the drain works in my master bathroom."

"Very well. The pipe had a pinhole leak in a copper elbow joint and required cutting the pipe, in a confined space, to drain standing water. G**** Miranda did a remarkable job repairing the pipe and an adjacent supply pipe I elected to have repaired in case its joint might leak. Workmanship was exceptional, potential mess and additional Sheetrock damage was minimized, G**** Miranda worked tirelessly for 3 hours and produced a satisfactory repair."

"This was real plumbing work, new drains, vents, and supplies, not drain clearing or leaky faucets. I'm an Architect so I know what to ask for but these guys did good work, listened carefully to what I wanted done and how I wanted it done, and even my wife was impressed with the way they protected our carpeting, cleaned up after their work, etc. Highly recommend."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Alexandria, VA

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.
