"Did a great job. Had to snake out the main drain because of roots that were blocking in the main drain twice to get it cleared out. He did a fantastic job and I would definitely hire him again......Thank You......"

"A++ Clog-Busters!! We called in the early morning and they were out to our house within a couple of hours. We will definately recommend this company to friends and family! Chris V., the plumber, who was professional and knowledgeable, came to our house and within an hour he had diagnosed, and de-clogged the main drain, and re-set the toilet. He also left our house clean of the debris pulled from the drain. Thank-you!"

"Came out on time. Presented two offers. Snaked drain and used camera to detect any other blockage. Cleaned up after. Had to come back a second time to install a part they needed to order. Did a great job."

"Randy and Mary were super helpful, efficient, considerate. Clearly competent and no-nonsense, friendly. A delight to have them in our home. They the removed blocked-up toilet, cleared the blocked line, and had a toilet back in and working in a half an hour. Very reasonable price too. I highly recommend them for any plumbing issues, light electrical, and construction too!"

"The drain in my basement overflowed for the second time in a couple weeks on a Friday afternoon. The person who had worked on it before had already come twice in two days because the first time he couldn't find a drain pipe that would make it easier to get the snake down. He suggested we might want to tear up the carpet in our family room to find it (like that was going to happen). He came back the second day and snaked through the drain in the laundry room. He did get through the blockage but must have only made a small hole through it because the water was backed up again in less than a week. Again, water and gunk are all over my laundry room. My emergency call was met with a promise that he would get to me sometime on Monday. Monday! Seriously, I couldn't wait three days without water, and I certainly couldn't let the gunk continue to cover my laundry room for the weekend. So, I called around to get someone who was available Friday afternoon. I called another local company, but they weren't able to come out and directed me to Associated Plumbing who had someone at my house within a couple hours. The man inspected the crawlspace that had been flooded during the previous week's catastrophe, and in just a couple minutes, he was able to find the elusive pipe and got down to work. After a few wacks, he decided the pipe was too old and he didn't want to put too much pressure on it and break the pipe, so through the drain he went. The guy was at my house for a good hour or so. He pulled out some gunk and a few roots, and I was back in business. The price was lower than the other guy, and the service and work were far superior. He even gave me a couple suggestions about the pipe and told me to call back if there was a problem. All in all, I am very satisfied and will call Associated Plumbing the next time I am in need of a plumber."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Chelsea, 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.
