"We called John’s Plumbing and Drain Service to replace our old water heater and pressure regulator. John came out, gave us a quote. Since we were doing more than one item he offered us a package deal. Due to high pressure our water heater was busted. After replacing regulator and installing a new water heater the issue was sold. John did the job with reasonable price. He is very knowledgeable. I will highly recommend John’s Plumbing Company."

"I hired Make it Drain to fix my leaking toilet because my regular plumber was unavailable. I spoke with the main office and was told that a repairman would be at my house within an hour. After an hour and with no repairman in sight or call to explain his absence, I called the office back. I was told that the repairman had to get a part and that's why it was taking so long. The repairman finally showed up two hours after my initial call and promptly left again to get another part -- for which he added an additional $50 to the original quote. The work was completed and they did come back the following day when the toilet still wasn't fixed. But they could not detect any problem and left. The best thing about this experience is that it has renewed my already-considerable confidence in my regular plumber. Should I have an urgent matter in the future, I will wait until he is available. He is more reliable than Make it Drain (he comes when he says he will) and he is much more reasonably priced."

"The line connecting my washing machine and kitchen to the main line was blocked; with water back up in the sink and washing machine. After an unsuccessful attempt to snake the line from the outside access, it was suggested by another that the clog couldnâ t be cleared, pipe was â done,â and the solution was to reroute the pipe for about 12 K! I called GMC, hopeful they could clear the line. Geremi responded immediately, quoted a reasonable price to unclog the line, was friendly and knowledgeable, and gave it his all until the line was clear!! His camera showed water running through the line after it was cleared, and his recommendation was simply annual snaking for $75. I was literally almost resigned to a huge 12 K problem and canâ t express how grateful I am that Geremi didnâ t give up and succeeded at unclogging this drain, and that I was able to see with his camera that the pipe was not, in fact, done. There were no added charges for the extra time or new snake blades it took to cut through this clog and no expensive and unnecessary recommendations. I now have a trusted plumber for life."

"HONEST. Licensed. Reliable. Responsive. Knowledgeable. Communicative. Competent. Great value. Lonnie is all these things. I have used Lonnie several times: 1) plumbing repipe an en entire house 2) install new water heaters in two different houses 3) run sewer cameras in four different houses 4) pressure jetted sewer lines in three different houses 5) re-routed furnace gas lines 6) multiple smaller jobs I use Lonnie for my plumbing jobs because I trust him. I simply call him, explain what needs to be done. He provides me a very competitive quote, He starts the job quickly, keeps me updated on progress or if any unexpected issues arise. The job is done competently on a timely basis. Cleanup is thorough. Even after all my dealings with him, I am still surprised AND impressed with how responsive he is to my phone calls and texts . I know it can be stressful finding a plumber.that is trustworthy. I have already done the hard part for you. The fact I have used him several times and for large jobs (and smaller jobs) speaks volumes about his skill and even more so about his character. Call Lonnie and you will quickly realize he will competently complete your job. Furthermore, once heâ s done, you will feel very comfortable recommending him to to friends and family."

"Harry was prompt, he was courteous, and I don't think I've ever seen someone work so hard! At one point we decided to do something extra with the water valve in my garage, plus he was also in the process of putting in my new shower head. He could have said I'll come back tomorrow, but he stayed with the job until it was complete! I told Harry he is now my plumber. I highly recommend this young man, his work ethic is stellar! I will definitely use him again."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Malibu, 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.
