"CALL THESE GUYS FIRST! We have a drain in our basement that has overflowed for years. It's finicky and the problem comes and goes depending on the activity. We recently decided to fix it once and for all- we had THREE Rooter companies come out and all three provided different 'solutions'. Rooter-Man was the ONLY company to spend the time to determine the problem, test their theories and work tirelessly until the pipe was cleared out. The other companies had me prepared to spend TEN THOUSAND dollars with them to trench a new line in our backyard. Shane from Rooter-Man was honest, professional, nice, hardworking and knowledgeable. SHANE WAS AWESOME. DO NOT CALL OTHER ROOTER COMPANIES. DO NOT GO ELSEWHERE. CALL THESE GUYS FIRST and save yourself the headache"

"We wanted a new sump pump and had gutter drain issues. He collaborated with us well, did more of the work than we expected and charged a fair price. We will be using him for future plumbing projects."

"These were really nice guys and they did a good job but they're were a few areas where they could improve. The shower water blender is reversed, so hot and cold are switched from what it says on the hardware. The outdoor water spigot was installed without screws so it swivels slightly. We can fix that easily but they should have secured it with screws. They needed to leave to get a party, and both went. It would have been more efficient our one stayed to do the other repair while the other went shopping. More efficient and more economical to save time on the job. These were really nice young guys, respectful and responsive."

Small jobs welcome

I like what I do. Always something different, and always meeting new people. I've been doing plumbing/handyman services for over 35 years, and I still learn something almost every day. My work has carried me all over Virginia, and my customers have always called me for more work when they needed it.\nI like that. If I don't know something, I'll find out, or, I'll pass it on to someone who knows. \n I'm not afraid to bet you'll be happy with whatever I do for you.

"AWESOME. We have been in the Charlottesville area for about 10 years, and have gone through many plumbers searching for someone we can rely on and trust. After making a handful of calls when our garbage disposal in our new house started leaking from the bottom, I was so discouraged by the really bad customer service out there and was hesitant to call the large companies because of their cost to fix. I wanted to give up, and then I actually got a call back from Fluvanna Plumbing and it completely turned my day around! Excellent customer service - Sheila took a long time on the phone to talk with me about their business and our situation, and what some solutions might be. She was able to make an appointment for the next day. Jimmy came out and was fast, courteous and very professional. I can't say enough how grateful we are to have found a company we look forward to working with again. If we need an upgrade or a fix, we will be calling Fluvanna Plumbing."

"Cody is the best. He came out on short notice and worked for several hours to figure out a way to clear out my clogged basement drains without ripping off the toilet. This is the second time I've hired Cody and both times I was very happy."

"The reviews are correct. Wesley came out in the evening and worked on our clogged shower drain. He deduced that that the old drain lines needed replaced, very old house. He did not have supplies so he finished in the morning. He was friendly, knowledgeable and his price was much less that I expected. I would highly recommend his service to anyone. I will definitely use him again."

"Very well.  Mr. Smith showed up with what he thought he might need (after discussing the problem with me before he came )  so there was no "I have to go get a part" involved.  Totally professional.

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Elkton, VA

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.
