"After a satisfactory gate installation in Dec 2024, I hired House Doctor for a patio door replacement in Jan 2025. I requested an experienced technician and scheduled a mid-March install, trusting their promise: "But no matter how big or small the project is, we can do it for you. We have many clients with a checklist of jobs, and when you schedule a House Doctor handyman, they arrive on time and complete the job with promptness and precision. We won?t waste your time." Instead, delays, a wrong door order, and conflicting measurements left me confused. I was told the owner would refund our deposit and cancel the project, with no explanation. With rising tariffs and home repair season, our door install maybe pushed to late summer. I cannot in good conscience recommend House Doctor. It is now May and we're forced to look for another provider. The prolonged delay and vague communication have forced me to seek other vendors, incurring higher costs as tariffs raise material prices.

"Angi's gave me quotes from 5 pros. ZOOM DRAIN was at the top of the list. Now they are at the top of my list as well! The outside drainage line from my sump pump was blocked. All pros listed were great plumbers. In checking their web sites, only ZOOM DRAIN appeared to offer all the specialized services and tools [pipe video, underground pipe locator, hydro jetting] I needed. I called ZOOM DRAIN and spoke with Brooke. She was a great help. James and Josh showed up on time the next day and did their magic. They replaced six feet of the broken drainage pipe. And we were 100% fixed. They even caulked the solvent welded new pipe fittings to add extra protection from future tree root damage. I avoided the full house-to-street tractor trenching done by my neighbors. I felt treated like FAMILY by all from ZOOM DRAIN! I thought their pricing was more than fair for the work involved. I would use them again for any of the services they provide. I highly recommend ZOOM DRAIN!"

Drain clog or blockage clearings FAQs

It may only take five minutes to snake a drain for loose clogs near the tub, toilet, or sink basin. However, clogs near the main line can take hours to resolve, especially if they affect multiple pipes. Plumbers have the skills, experience, and equipment to get the job faster, though you may pay a premium for their help.

Sometimes, using a snake to unclog a drain can cause more damage than intended. Too much force risks scratching the surface and damaging the coating, which could eventually cause cracks to develop. Depending on what’s obstructing the drain, the snake could worsen the problem by jamming the debris tighter and further down the pipe. It’s best to hire a pro with experience tackling a variety of clogged pipes.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent clogged drains is to install snug mesh screens over the drain openings in your sinks, bath, and shower. This tool prevents hair, food particles, and other solid items from entering the drain and forming clogs. A non-corrosive bacteriological drain cleaner is also a smart option to reduce the chances you’ll need to absorb the cost of unclogging a drain.

Hiring a Roto-Rooter professional for drain-clearing services costs between $160 and $450, depending on the complexity of the project. Roto-Rooter costs to snake drains are usually charged on a flat rate basis rather than an hourly fee. These job estimates may include the price of the sewer inspection and the Roto-Rooter sewer line cleaning cost. However, they do not cover the additional cost of repairs or parts replacement.
