"John claims to be a great Christian honest man which I really felt good about until he got here and started trying to upsell me on many other things I did not hire him for. Now I did not do any of those things because I would have spent a small fortune if I had. As far as I can tell right now the air conditioner is fixed properly but it?s only been one day. Just hoping I was right to trust him on that. He also did not stick to his original price he gave me but came down $50 off the $100 more he added. I just needed air conditioner fixed fast and hope the price was fair. He carry?s on too much about being an honest Christian person , but trying to upsell things never hired for is not so honest and Christian like to me. I was surprised by all of that and that is why I don?t have the trust in him I originally had. I just pray I can trust the work he did but now I would be hesitant to hire him again. Sincerely. Pam Lxxxxx"

"The job was to run a gas line for a stove while I was out of town. They had told me the job would be done on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Friday I get a call that the drawers to the stove are on the floor and the piping is just hanging there. So I call them...apparently they didn't have the right part and the installer was off for the next 2 days - so would be there on Sunday to finish the job - which by itself isn't terrible; however, they didn't tell me that they'd shutoff all the gas to the house - meaning no hot water and no heat in the house. When I asked them to send someone out immediately to finish the job they said that they couldn't do that...meaning that Sunday would be the earliest. They did call me back later to let me know they would get someone out on Saturday to finish the work. Then, they called me back on Saturday morning to let me know that only Chris could finish this job and so I'd have to wait until Sunday - meaning no heat or hot water when I get home."

"The vendor was very nice. Prepared. We investigated the issue together and identified next steps. No issue was found and he let me know ahead of time that if he cut the drywall, he would not be replacing it. But, he did clean up after himself, which I appreciate."

"Without a doubt they are the very best contractor of any type I have ever dealt with. It's almost like I was an aging family member. Quality of work was top shelf. Fast efficient and courteous. Pricing would be hard to beat. I'd rate Daeunhauer way more than 5 star."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Louisville, KY

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.
