"I made the mistake of providing my telephone number and after I hit "enter" I received two phone calls from two different providers. This was a little too aggressive for my taste. Dun Rite called first, so I let them come out and give me an estimate. They were willing to do the work that night, but it was too late in the evening for me considering neighbors. They came the next day. Sterling knew what he was doing, but he was strictly a "drain" guy... not a plumber. He also had a trainee with him. While Sterling was very patient with the trainee, I felt that the trainee slowed him down. Ideally, I would have liked to have had someone who was a licensed plumber... not just knowledgeable in clearing drains. However, Sterling was good at what he did and was able to clear my clogged drain. He had to come back the next day, as they lost my check. Additionally, they had to return a third time, as we were left with no hot water. Sterling was professional, polite, and friendly. I would probably call again. Although, if you're not sure what the problem is... it might be better to contact a plumber."

"My shower drain was clogged. I needed someone to ð snake it. I thought that the chemicals I had been using over the years would eventually corrode the pipes. I called several companies that were very high priced.. Righttime was very reasonably priced and the service was excellent. The job took little time partly because of efficiency and experience. I would recommend them, ansolutely!"

The man I had my previous HVAC service contract with passed away in January and, before he died, he sold his service contracts to GAC.  I learned of this in two letters I received just about the time my spring service was due, one letter from the old company, explaining the death and sale, along with a letter from GAC welcoming me.  Since they had my money I figured I?d give them a try.  I called GAC on a Monday and scheduled my spring maintenance for Thursday.  On Tuesday my A/C made a horrendous noise and I shut it off.  Called GAC to ask if we could move the visit up to Wednesday and they said ?sure?.  Tech arrived on time on Wednesday, explained that my 19 year old system might not have too many years left.  I could spend $1,000 to replace the fan motor and cross my fingers that the condenser didn't go next, or invest in a new Furnace and A/C.  He patiently answered all my questions, we went over the pros and cons, and he didn?t talk down to me (which frequently happens as I am an older woman), under the circumstances it was a wonderful experience.  While he worked up the estimate for a new system in the van I did a computer search of the company and how much a new HVAC system should cost.  I figured I could spend weeks shopping around, but I had travel scheduled for much of April and really didn?t have time for that.  I lucked out, there were several rebates available in April from Washington Gas, PEPCO and Bryant, all of which the tech explained.  I was given two proposals with two different models, I accepted GAC?s proposal on the spot and they had their Quality Assurance man in my house on Thursday taking measurements and answering my questions (he also arrived right on time).  A new Furnace and Air Conditioner were installed on Monday, the furnace passed inspection yesterday, and everything is working well.  The new system is so much quieter than my old system and it appears to be very efficient.  Everyone I worked with at GAC was wonderful, very nice, professional, answered all my questions.  The three man team who installed the system was so upbeat for a Monday morning, I was amazed.  They arrived on time and went right to work like a well oiled machine.  One started outside on the Air Conditioner while the other began tearing out the furnace, the third was floating, helping each of the others, while unloading the trucks.  They had to work in a very tight closet like space but I never heard any grumbling.  They sang along with their music, truly seemed to like each other and they answered my questions as they worked.  They didn?t seem to be bothered by the fact that I checked in on them often.  A very different experience than the one I had 19 years ago when the old system was installed!  They warned me that, because of the area was tight, it could take up to 6 hours to complete, which it did.  They started a little after 8:00 and were done by 4:00. They left the area spotless and took their time walking me through the operation of the new thermostat, how to send in for the rebates and how to call for the county inspection.  All in all, I am happy I stayed with GAC Services and would highly recommend them.

"The drain in our upstairs bathtub was clogged and it would not drain. I left a voice mail at about 8 AM, and Patrick phoned me back immediately. He arrived earlier than promised. After surveying the job, he told me it was a flat rate for the job and he went to work. He got the drain all cleared out and left the area cleaner than he found it. I know that the job was straightforward, but Patrick set himself apart from others we've hired with his courtesy and professionalism. We would definitely hire him again for plumbing work."

"Sterling came out the same day I called. I had a very badly clogged drain in a shower we use to wash dogs. Not only did he quickly clear the clog but he descaled the pipe."

"I hired Richard's Drain to clear a clogged drain. However, when he arrived, he spent a good deal of time examining my problem to determine whether I needed my line snaked or not. He helped me see where my problem was and that I did not really have a clogged drain. He charged a minimal (fair) fee for his time. I was definitely happy to have an honest plumber that was not going to charge me for unnecessary services. I will definitely use him again."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Friendship, MD

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.
