"I hired Waterworks Plumbing & Drain to fix a leaking water spigot and a dripping showerhead. Jared arrived the same day I called and quickly fixed the outside spigot and the showerhead drip. Jared’s quick response and excellent communication is why I will use Waterworks Plumbing & Drain for all my future plumbing needs."

"Daniel was very responsive , great customer service skills, saved us 1000s of dollars. Our septic tank kept overflowing. We had it pumped 3x in 6 months. (There's only two of us living in the home) the company we used to pump out recommend replacing the entire leech field. Cost appx 8 k to replace and get permits from a third party company. (Why can't they pull the permits themselves. Red flag) We then called Alabama Plumbimg and left a message about a 2nd opinion. I glad I did!!! Within minutes we got a call back from Daniel, we explained our issue and he said he'd be here tomorrow afternoon to take a look. He did some tests and offered a chemical treatment that could kill the roots that clogged our leech field for a fraction of the replacement. It's a two day process. Daniel came back the next day and completed the treatment then did a complete pressure test and a water volume acceptance test and my field took every drop of water he pumped in. It didn't do any noticeable damage to my next door neighbors huge trees and my problem was fixed. A win win win situation. Win 1 I saved 1000s of dollars and my field is not collapsed and in great shape win 2 my neighbors trees weren't damaged. Win 3 Daniel added an inspection "T" pipe that I can inspect and possibly fix myself should something goes wrong. Very cool indeed. I cannot say enough about our experience. I recommend that anyone with septic tank or leech field issues in Alabama or Pensacola and other areas make Alabama Plumbing your first call. Note* they do NOT do pump outs. If you are told by the pump out company that you need to replace your leech field, do yourself a favor and call Alabama Plumbing for a second opinion. They're honest, reliable and could save you 1000s without digging up your whole back yard.. its been over six month that I waited to post this to really give it time for any problems to happen. That access pipe let's me check from time to time and it is 100% free and clear of the tree roots. It's also not toxic to pets as it's underground. No permits needed. CALL THIS COMPANY AND ASK FOR DANIEL. You'll be glad you did. Steve S. Pensacola Florida. I'd rate then a 10 out of 5 if I could. They're that good! Thank you again Daniel.!!! I thank you , my pocket thanks you and my yard thanks you!"

"I hired Ds Plumbing for a different job which he completed. I have not had any problems with his work and I appreciate his professionalism and services. He was on time for scheduled appointments even when I had to call and change the times. I would most definitely use him again and refer him to others in need of a good plumber."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Bayou La Batre, AL

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.
