"Joel went beyond the project he was hired for and helped me out with a sink backup which conveniently happened the night before my scheduled toilet repair. Joel saved me having to have an appointment with a Maplewood Plumbing drain cleaner. I’m very happy with Maplewood Pliumbing!"

"Nick G. Is professional, punctual and friendly. I had a leak coming from the kitchen sink and draining to my basement. This leak would have rotted the floor and caused considerable damage. Upon discovering this , I contacted my son, Clint Ehman, an electrician for Hoffman, to get a referral . Nick G. came out today, diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Nick fixed the problem and made my day so much better. The cost was fair and the work he did is exceptional. A shout out to a job well done. We will recommend Nick G. to family and friends."

"They did get the job done. Problem was 2 weeks ago it was clogged with "flushable" wipes and yesterday another wad of wipes. I literally stopped using them before ever calling the plumbers realizing they were the issue. He fixed the clog free this time but insinuated the idea that it was my fault. Unless they got stuck in the pipes on the way to the basement not my fault for the second time. Unsure about hiring again."

"This was a sales pitch, but that was not what I was expecting AT ALL. I was contacted by the company and asked if I wanted to have my water tested, so that is what I thought I was having done.  I became slightly suspicious when the day before the "test," a representative from the company called and said my husband needed to be present during the demonstration.  Demonstration?  What demonstration? <br /> Well, it was a demonstration.  Over three hours (YES -- if only I had billed for those hours, I'm sure it could have gone more quickly!) of my Saturday time was completely wasted. <br /> The water-softening system (they don't call it a water softener, but that's basically what it is) probably is very good, but while I was considering doing my research and maybe even purchasing the system (even though they tricked me), I lost ALL interest when I learned I had to make the decision THAT DAY to get the special pricing and the "free" annual supply of laundry soap.  When the pressure is that high, there probably is something wrong. <br /> The sales representative (they call themselves something else, like water treatment engineers or some silliness) was quite well-trained and very personable.  Good enough that I considered looking into the system further until she started with that "you must buy today" part of the pitch.  At that point, I knew none of it was sincere.  Just a good old-fashioned bait and switch. <br />"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Arnold, MO

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.
