"Robert and his crew were great. They were able to replace my rusty old drain pipes that had developed a hole in one pipe and replace them. The drain system works great and I appreciate the hard work and effort in just finding the parts needed for my almost 100 year old plumbing and getting the replacement parts installed quickly so I could use water again. Thank You Robert and the Facilities and Plumbing Crew!"

"I wanted to replace an old Kohler toilet, which had stopped flushing. I looked at a number of plumbers on Angi and selected Pinnacle Plumbing based on the reviews they received and because they were based locally. I contacted them and they quoted a price that I thought was fair based on the purchase of a well-known water-saving toilet and labor. Camilo and Luis arrived on time as promised and were very efficient in changing out the old toilet with a water-saving model. They explained the process as they worked. They tested the water pressure to make sure the toilet flushed well. I was very satisfied with their work. I also hired them to do a second job, to install a ball valve on a water line from the building into the backyard and to remove a galvanized pipe and replace it with copper. They quoted a fair price for their labor and materials (copper piping and the ball valve). They arrived early and finished within an hour and sent pictures of the work. I highly recommend them."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in El Cerrito, 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.
