"Lazer replied to my inquiry immediately and showed up within an hour to clear a drain which turned out to be a much larger problem with our main pipe to the sewer. He was able to fix the larger problem and recommended follow-up services to ensure that the problem does not reoccur. He answered all of our questions thoroughly. Great price and great service."

"Called them on a Sunday when I noticed a backup at an outside drain; Pasquale & crew showed up the next morning. Given the kind of work they do, and the fact that the floors had just been washed, I asked them to take off their shoes in the house and they did! <3 It took maybe half an hour to clean out the sewer drain. While this was happening a tenant mentioned that he had a leak under his kitchen sink, and the crew was flexible enough to handle it on the spot, in the same visit. Thanks, guys! Would definitely hire again."

"Alfonso was great. He came to my house and did exactly what I asked him to. There was a pipe to cut which was rusted which he did and he replaced it with a rubber boot. He refitted the pipes of my pedestal bathroom sink which was pretty torn up after being snaked so many times due to clogged pipes. He also replaced the sinks faucet which was not easy because we had it for about 20 years so it was difficult to remove.Throughout this process Alfonso was calm and courteous and very professional. He was not cheap but his work was great and he is a very clean worker. The only issue I had was with the other job I had for him which was much larger and potentially involved the cutting of the pipe that was causing the persistent clog in our bathroom to begin with. This was actually the main reason why I contacted him in the first place. After he finished with the above mentioned projects he took a look and troubleshooted the job and gave me one estimate and was going to get back to me the following day with another estimate for another way to save the problem. I never heard from him again. I called, texted and practically begged him to let me know when he could return to take another look at the situation and to give me an estimate for the "other" possibility of solving the clogged pipe and he never once got back to me. to this day I have no reason why and it is a bit frustrating not to at least been given a response especially after paying good money for the first job. Just seems unusual but as far as the work he did, I have no complaints."

Customers say: True professional

"I had an excellent experience with this plumber. I called them for a severely clogged drain that was causing water to back up, and they responded quickly and professionally. The plumber arrived on time, inspected the issue, explained the cause of the clog, and fixed it efficiently. What impressed me most was their professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail. They made sure the drain was completely cleared, tested everything before leaving, and left the work area clean. The pricing was fair, and there were no surprise charges. If you’re looking for a reliable plumber for clogged drains or any plumbing issue, I highly recommend their services. Fast response, quality work, and outstanding customer service. I would use them again in the future."

"Used them to fix items on an inspection report including boiler relief valves, expansion tank draining and service, check waste water pipe. Great work, and even came back a few days later to drain an old expansion tank that was causing a valve to leak. No charge. Stand by their work and made it right. No complaints to."

"The team at 24 Seven were great! Candace and Diana were prompt in their response and arranged the appointment swiftly. 5 stars to Robert the plumber who put in the extra hard work and determination to remedy my plumbing issue. It should have been fairly routine drain cleanout but proved to be a bit of a pain and Robert’s expertise, patience and determination shined. He was polite and respectful. Prompt and efficient. I would certainly call them again. Now I can use my bathroom sink again without worry!"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Kew Gardens, NY

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.
