At Roy's, we understand how stressful it is to lose plumbing, electrical, or heating and cooling comfort. And while we can't always prevent that stress from happening when those breakdowns first occur, we can give you a great experience that takes that stress away fast. Creating a worry-free service experience takes teamwork, resources, and skill. It also takes dedication from every technician, plumber, and customer service representative we have, all working with the same purpose: to make your repair or install as easy as possible, as quickly as possible. But it goes beyond good service. We're dedicated to giving back to our community, as well. Every month, our Roy's Cares program makes a $500 donation to a local charity, and each time a technician places a lawn sign at the end of a job well done, we donate $5 to another monthly charity recipient. It's just one way we dedicate ourselves to our city and the people in it, both in our business and beyond!

"Rep (Tyler) arrived on time. Was very personable and professional. Evaluated and completed repair quickly and without issue. I’m very happy with the results. (Note…Angi categorized project as a broken pipe when actual issue was wit an on demand water heater.)"

Our locally owned and operated team is committed to delivering reliable service, upfront pricing, and top-notch customer care. Whether it’s a routine repair or a full system installation, Cellino’s licensed technicians bring comfort and peace of mind to every home we serve.

"I’m reluctant to leave a negative review, but my recent experience with Cellino has left me no choice. I initially hired Cellino for a greenhouse HVAC project, based on a positive recommendation and previous great service with a furnace issue. On September 6, Chris came out to assess the job, spending significant time taking measurements and photos, and assured me they had handled similar projects. After weeks of visits and reassurances, we received a quote on September 18. Though it was higher than others, I trusted Cellino based on their professionalism. However, on October 22, over a month later and after multiple assessments, the installation team informed me that the heater they specified was actually overpowered for our greenhouse—news that should have been caught early on. This oversight led to weeks of back-and-forth exchanges, ending with us exchanging the heater for a more suitable model. This delay has cost my business thousands in lost stock due to inadequate heating."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Buffalo, NY

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.
