"What a great experience! I called Best Plumbing around 8:15am after I realized I had a major issue and by 1:40pm that day Julian was there. Julian was informative and honest. I was charged exactly what I was quoted. After fixing my blocked pipe, I received 2 follow up calls asking about my service and satisfaction. I would highly recommend Best Plumbing to anyone who needs plumbing services. Thank you for such a positive experience!"

"I had a clogged kitchen sink drain, nothing I did would fix the problem. Called several places but they didn't work on mobile homes. Called Gold Star and I was in luck. They were able to come the next day. Nathan and Craig came and assessed the problem, explained thoroughly what needed to be done and gave us the estimate that was fair. We had the them do the work, they were pleasant, respectful of my home and upon completion cleaned up. I took several cards to have on hand for anyone in my area that is in need of their services. I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future if need.....I'm hoping I won't need."

"Had another company visit my home to open up a clogged drain. After about 45 minutes I was told that my sewer line was broken. I contacted Waterworks and they came to my home and after about 10 minutes Ryan told me that my sewer line was clear. Afterwards, he cleaned up the area, which the previous company left the mess for me to clean up. I would definitely use Waterworks again and would also recommend them to others. Glad I contacted David, really appreciate the concern that he had for my problem."

"I had called Pipey when I had an emergency leak under my sink. I got a call immediately within minutes and they gave me an appointment. I got a text that my appointment was confirmed. The team of two came in, they were very courteous and respectful. Since we don’t like have anyone wear shoes in our home they took them out and performed the work quickly and cleanly. Didn’t leave any trash behind for us. While they were there, I asked them to check a couple of additional things and they gave on the spot estimates. Work was clean overall and price was reasonable. I paid them using my phone which was also very convenient for me. Overall, it was a great experience."

"We previously had secured the services of this company to install a sump pump and then a back-up sump when conditions warranted. We met with Joe DiTrapani, Jr who immediately impressed us with his promptness, phone updates and communication, knowledge and his professionalism. He did what he had promised in a minimum of intrusion to our family, and at the price he quoted. Recently we encountered a plumbing problem where our kitchen sinks were plugged causing back-ups and the inability to use the sinks without waiting for the clog to subside. We decided to call this firm again. The set up an appointment for the next day for between 1-3:00PM. Approximately 11:30AM I received a call from Joseph DiTrapani Sr, who indicated that they had gotten a previous job completed earlier and would it be an imposition to our schedule to come a bit earlier. We agreed yes and at the appointed time he and his apprentice Adam showed up ready to work. First thing we noticed was their respect for our home as they donned cloth slippers over their shoes. They then discussed with us the symptoms we had encountered. Although this was primarily the kitchen sinks and disposal, they also thoroughly checked the plumbing in the rest of the house for any indication of current or future problems. When satisfied none existed, they expedited the repairs to the kitchen sinks. Once again they respected our home by bringing in tarps, towels, and buckets to prevent any water damage to our cabinets and home. In what seemed like only minutes (but in reality longer) the clogs were cleared, the drains working properly, and the area cleaned. It should be noted that I had already cleaned the traps and done things a laymen normally would, however we observed that the clog was rather extensive farther down in the system, and something we would not have been able to ascertain. Their expertise identified this area expeditiously. When it came to payment, the charge was exactly as quoted and even though we thought they deserved more for that "extra mile" they provided, Mr. Joseph DiTrapani Sr declined our offer. This firm reminds me of the companies of my childhood in the 50's and 60's. They are professional, courteous, knowledgeable and above all else a company where their word is their bond. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Because of our repeated experiences with them, we have no problem considering them now our family plumbers"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Birmingham, MI

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.
