"This was routine maintenance. The tech was very informative and gave me a lot of insight on our unit. It just took too long. He initially said it would take 45 minutes. It took twice that. I learned a lot, but my time is important to me."

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"I can't describe the sound of the blockage when it was cleared, but there was no question what the sound meant or the smile on my face. We've used them several times over the years and service has always been great. I showed Jose M the issue and pointed him to the closest clean-out. After quite a bit of effort it seemed he was running into a serious obstruction. Jose asked about another clean-out and started searching around the perimeter. He found one that I'd forgotten about as it had never been used, and sure enough, water was backed up in it. He snaked it and ran into a major obstruction about 35 feet in. After repeated attempts to clear it, he suggested we needed to camera the line. He called 'the boss' who headed over, and Jose continued trying to clear the line. And Murphy's Law, just before the boss arrived he got the line cleared. Again, what a wonderful sound! Greg arrived shortly after and even though the line seemed clear, ran the camera through it (no extra charge). Good move, he ran the camera to the city's line, and pointed out a couple spots that were problems waiting to happen. Knowing what we may be facing in the future is a relief. My original estimate was $77. Final cost $77. And that was on a Saturday! VERY IMPRESSIVE!!"

"They arrived on time.  They were very clear on what they were going to do.  They gave me options.  When I decided to do the clean outs they did it on their day off to accommodate me.  They left area clean."

"I spoke with them on the phone and explained the length of my line. They didn’t have the correct length camera line for my drain as it is pretty long. They refunded me for the deal."

"In my opinion this is an excellent vendor.  They were recommended to me by a representative of a company that came out to give me an estimate for a kitchen remodel.  I am glad that I  called them.  My call was returned promptly on the day I called and left a voice mail.  An appointment was then set for Mr. Dove to come to my home to give me an estimate.  Since Mr. Dove was only in my area a few days a week for the purpose of estimating there was over a week or so delay in his coming.  I thought that was a bit excessive but now that I have had the work done I think it was worth the wait.
Mr. Dove explained the process,  answered all my questions and had some great suggestions.  He was prompt friendly and very professional.  He did the estimate on a Thursday and the work was scheduled for the following Monday.
The two man crew arrived on time and we went over the instructions and plans.  Everything was in order just as I had arranged with Mr. Dove.  Once we finished the walk through everything was prepped and covered and they began the work.  They worked straight through from 8am to about 3pm when the work was completed.  The work looks great and the clean up was well done.
The two  gentlemen that were here (Matt and another young man whose name has left me, sorry) were friendly, professional and just plain nice!  I also appreciated that they were also especially kind to our dog who peeked in on them once in a while.
I am very happy with the work, the price and everything in general and will not hesitate to send them referrals."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Boulevard, CA

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.
