"They did a great job replacing leaking elbow on pressure tank. They used brass as a replacement, not the plastic that was there before."

"They did a great job. They were able to use a small pump to pump the waste water out before replacing the broken pump. The other company wanted us to pay for a pump truck costing $600 before giving the estimate."

"Preston from Neighborhood drains was the 3rd drain company that came out to my home for the vent clog in my roof drain. They didn’t even go onto my roof where the problem originated. He went up on my roof and cleared the vent drain and the blockage cleared out. If you have a drain clog give Neighborhood Drains a call. Preston is a true professional, honest, and reasonable rates. I’ve had a lot of work done around my house having hired many different companies and he was simply the best guy that I’ve encountered. "

"Today my wife was washing clothes and decided to use the downstairs bathroom. When she walked in, there was water coming from the shower drain and onto the floor. She called me at work to let me know what was going on. I left work right away and on my way home I called Bass Reddy Rooter. I was able to speak to Tim, who was very easy to talk to, and he reassured me that they would be able to take care of my problem. Within a short period of time, John arrived at my house, and after assessing the problem, he unclogged the drain pipe, and we were back to being able to use our water again. I can’t say enough about John, and the way he explained everything he was doing and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Bass Reddy Rooter to anyone who has a septic system issue. "

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Bristol, RI

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.
