"Jimmy answred my call and came over over within an hour. Diagnosed the problem (it was more than a simple snake job) unclogged the drain. Checked it to be sure it was working and also fixed a leak unrelated to the clog. Was also careful to not make a mess with the snake and cleaned up after he was done."

"I had a clogged sewage line out the back of my house and called Victory Plumbing. Anthony, the owner, and Keith, came to the house, evaluated what was going on and cleared the clog. They came back a second time to inspect the line with a camera and were very considerate with the pricing, since they had already been there. They found a huge grease blockage and blew it out using a water-jet line, but found the pipes were not pitched correctly. Anthony came out a third time at my request, so that he could mark the location of my pipe in the ground for the company that is now going to dig up and realign them properly to the street. These guys came out on a Sunday and did not hammer me with emergency rates like some second-rate companies do. I would strongly recommend Victory Plumbing over any other one out there. This is a family owned business that cares about satisfaction!"

"Our house main sewer line had backed up at the clean out plug area just before the main emptied to the street sewer system. Mark Scala promptly came to our house this Saturday morning and had cleared the clog at the main trap. I selected Scala Sewer & Drain because of the reviews here on "Home Advisor" and I was impressed as everyone else. Having just come in from a long flight the night before, Mark was very courteous , professional and indicated he'd be right over within the hour. From the time Mark arrived our drain was cleared within the hour. Considering the task at hand, the area was cleaned and disinfected with bleach with little or no debris left behind. I highly recommend Mark Scala and his family owned business. Outstanding service. Thank you again, Mark."

"Integrated Electrical Solutions was fantastic, I can highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional workmanship at an extremely fair price. I had a blockage in my sewer line and called a company that I usually use, they came out and power snaked the line but to no avail. They told me that they could come back and hydro-jet the line the next day (for an exorbitant amount) but that might not work. The cost seemed far too high and they didn't even scope the line to see what the problem was. So I looked on Angie and found Integrated Electric Solutions. Freddy called me within 15 minutes and after hearing my description described each step of how they would proceed to solve my problem with costs for each step of the way. I cancelled the other company and Integrated was there within two hours. Patrick was wonderful, He scoped the line to determine the problem , tried the snake, then hydro-jeted. Long story short - my problem was solved in 1-1/2 hours for 1/4 of the cost."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Essex Fells, NJ

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.
