"I had a sewer line inspection with video done and was able to locate area of blockage and condition of drain lines under the house slab and into the main sewer line out to the street. Great to see live video and get a feel for issues that need fixing. Jose was very helpful and explained what was on the screen."

"Ryan was perfectly on-time and was a plumbing scholar and a gentleman. We had a simple drain replacement under a new sink. Going to Western saved me at least another day of trying to figure out proper parts and doing the install myself, and it also saved my wife's ears from hearing my salty language."

"Our bath water started to backup and laundry machine flooded the garage. I called Tony's Plumbing and they were at my house on that SAME DAY WITHIN AN HOUR of my call. They were no nonsense and quickly diagnosed the problem as a clogged main line and used a snake to clean out the pipes. This fixed the problem and water is now running fine. Tony's Plumbing is my go-to plumber for any serious issues! They've been very prompt and professional every time I've used them. Other plumbers might charge less (or more) but if you want quality work done and good customer service - I recommend these guys."

"I have a four unit apartment complex in Lemert Park and there was a major water blockage in the main water line that caused it to back up in the two downstairs units. This was on a late Saturday evening and because I have worked with Burris Brothers Plumbing in the past, whether heating or plumbing issues, he has always answered the call and has always been able to quickly rectify the problem. This case was no different, except the fact that it was on a late Saturday night and he was able to respond quickly and get there first thing Sunday morning and was able to fix the problem with complete satisfaction. I cannot thank him enough for all the work he has done for us over the years. When you need someone who can resolve an issue, take care of the problem and do so in a timely manner, Burris Brothers Plumbing and Heating are the ones to call. They are very professional, very trustworthy and very knowledgeable. Could not ask for better service."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Los Angeles, 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.
