"I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. They cam within a day of when I called, assessed and fixed one problem, installed a new water heater the same day, and returned the next day to install new pipes above the water heater. The plumbers were polite, professional, and explained clearly what they were doing. Pricing was very reasonable and I also have a yearly service contract. Office personnel were also friendly and knowledgeable. Will only use them from now on."

"I hired Leonard based on his excellent ratings. I needed him to install a new toilet and a new bathroom faucet in the master bath (both that I provided). Upon completion of the project, I noticed the sink chipped around the drain. Leonard said he had problems getting the old drain ring out. I'm left with an unsightly sink in an already old vanity that was, before this in great shape for it's age. (I was planning on selling the house without updating the bathroom. What was previously a dated, but nice looking sink and vanity, is now an UNSIGHTLY dated sink and will have to be replaced before selling. His repair cost will multiply several times now). The toilet was replaced, but later when sitting on it, the new toilet was installed so that there was space between the bare floor and the rear of the toilet (the empty space where the old toilet sat on the bare floor without linoleum). So now the toilet rocks back and forth between linoleum and bare floor. This could have been resolved by Leonard simply asking me if it's ok to cut out the linoleum where the new toilet will sit so the setting is flush. Thirty six hours later, my wife tells me that all the towels below this sink are wet, the new faucet install is leaking. So I have to call Leonard and get him out to fix the leak and shim the toilet so it doesn't rock. With all his great ratings, I'm sure my experience is simply a bad day for Leonard...but I can't recommend him to others. Both issues should not have occurred. Leonard was very nice to deal with and prompt with appointments."

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.
