"Unfortunately I had to call them three times in a month (not due to anything done by them) but I would call them again in a heartbeat. I appreciate that the same gentleman was sent each time. He was efficient and wasted no time in completing the job. All three times he didnâ t leave anything behind or undone and always let me know exactly what he did. I really really hope I donâ t have to call them again any time soon, but if I have another plumbing issue, I know who Iâ m calling."

"Bryan Stalcup did a great job and saved us a LOT of time and money. He responded quickly and we found him to be very helpful, experienced, and honest. Our toilets weren't flushing right and we had sewage smells coming out of our drains. A different company came out, disconnected our toilet, incorrectly diagnosed the problem, and told us the repair would cost thousands of dollars to fix and they couldn't do it for a week. They instructed us not to use any plumbing until they returned in seven days. (!!) We called Stalcup for a second evaluation. Bryan was on-site fast. He unclogged our sewer line within 20 minutes, ran a video camera down the entire line to show us that it was clear and undamaged, and re-sealed our toilet for 3% (yep, THREE percent) of the cost the other company had quoted. He also taught us how to stop our toilet from continuously running. The plumbing has worked perfectly since his visit. We especially appreciate that Bryan knew another company had quoted us for a large repair and could have taken advantage of this, but instead he was honest, helpful, and fast. Thank you Bryan! We've found our plumber from now on."

"The plumbing technician, Tyler Herriage, was able to arrive very quickly, inspect the damaged tile, bathroom faucets and pipes, water heater, and water meter, and determine that the water damage was not due to a leak this time. He was knowledgeable explaining the types and signs of leaks and I appreciated his honesty advising that there was not evidence a costly pressure test or camera run was needed."

"Arrived on time, quoted a price to clear a clogged drain and repair two toilets that were "singing." Left to pick up parts, returned and completed the job effectively. Was careful and personable. We were very satisfied and would use him again and recommend him Alex"

"Great service! Just needed tankless water heater flushed and it took about an hour. During the wait time the technician inquired if there were other plumbing issues needing addressing. Though I had nothing else, we talked about PMs to do and he gave me some good tips. A bit expensive but quality work."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Arlington, TX

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.
