"Arrived quickly. The young man was professional and polite. He got the job done surprisingly fast and made sure to explain what he did and why. The cost was clear and very fair before the work started and payment was easy."

Customers say: Quality work

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"I needed new floors put down in my kitchen and Jake battled the bad weather and got the job done and done very well I might add, he even found an electrical issue with my dishwasher when he pulled it out and fixed it at no extra charge. Excellent workmanship and professionalism. I will definitely be using him again for future projects. Highly recommend!"

Any kind of repairs that you want done I can do. I am a jack of all trades and a little bit or a lot about a lot of things. I've worked as apartment maintenance overseeing 420 Apartments, and if it is something I cannot do I will let you know. But I guarantee quality work without the outrageous cost of most companies. I'm just a person that likes to fix things and make them look as good or better than they did before broken. That includes carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, AC repairs, even Appliance repairs. Something as small as hanging a TV bracket to as big as repairing Roofing or water leaks or water damage. Just give me a try I promise you won't be disappointed. I offer Senior Citizens and Veterans a 20% discount, and free estimates over the phone. \n\n "Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Hickory, NC

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.
