"They were great. So polite and on time. I didn't know if I needed my septic tank emptied and Tammy said they will not do it if it isn't needed. Well Jason showed he when he opened it was almost to the top. He had a really hard time opening the other side but didn't give up till it was open. When they were finished closing it and putting my gravel back (which I didn't expect them to do) hew then explained when I should have it done again. I would definitely recommend them and will use them in the future. Thank you everyone."

"I contacted Rooter Pros to see if they could get to my leak that day. They said they could have someone there in a couple hours. They keep contact with me until they arrived. They had to dig down about 2 feet to find the leak and had everything they needed on the truck to fix it with. After they were done the cleaned everything up and you can hardly tell they were there. I can tell you from my 35 years of experience dealing with plumbers in the past that Rooter Pros are the best in the business at what they do. They are attentive to your request, efficient with there time and very effective at what they do. And to top it off they are very affordable."

"Excellent service from this company. Master plumber John H. and his assistant came quickly, diagnosed the problem and clearly explained to us our options on replacements. Within a few hours, the new water heater was installed. What a relief!"

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"After trying to get several other companies to answer phone calls and schedule an appointment, the dispatcher was very friendly and quickly took down my information and told me that I would receive a phone call soon, up to 30 minutes before the plumber would arrive at my house. about 2 hours later I received a phone call from the plumber who said they were about 10 minutes from my house. I met them at the house where the plumber quickly determined the problem was a hair clog and he unclogged two shower drains in about 45 minutes. He cleaned up after himself and made sure that the drains were running clear. While trying to open one of the drains the cover was broken, he tried to replace it, but determined that the age of the fixture was too old for what he had on had. He told me he would have to special order a new drain cover. He recommended that I instead visit a home improvement store where i could purchase a generic cover for $1-$2, a much cheaper alternative.

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in East Ellijay, GA

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.
