"Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Yelp!! Paid $1700 to unclog the main sewer line, then was ignored when trying to contact them. Mike showed up and got sewer line flowing, but as this was a recurring problem, I asked them to diagnose the damage for a full repair quote. They sent a camera to see the damage, but it did not go far, so they started hydro jetting to clear the obstruction which would allow the camera to go further. The hydro jet stopped at the same spot as the camera and I was charged $1700 for it. Quoted over $12000 to do the rest of the work. Ultimately, no additional information other than something is blocking it and we can not see what it is. It is going to cost $12k to get down and fix it. Your bill is $1700 for what we tried to do I called to get a partial refund as the check was cashed immediately, only to be ignored from that point on. I checked Yelp, BBB, and got a second opinion. I was charged 9 times what the work was worth."

"I was charged $985.00 for 1 hour of work and a fitting. I let him know I was recently widowed. After reading the Yelp reviews, this seems to be a pattern of overcharging women. He did give me an estimate which I balked about, he told me there was a lot of digging. I assumed there would be several hours of work. Nope. 1 hour and a fitting. A friend from my Church talked to several plumbers first, then called to complain. Rick told him too bad, I had been given an estimate. He should be ashamed of himself."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Live Oak, CA

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.
