"I was very impressed with how he explained everything, performed the work and kept us informed with what was going on. I was able to watch everything and he followed the outline he gave us exactly. He was very knowledgeable and even offered much advice for a second house of mine that has a failing septic system. See their web site which lists all the types of work they perform with all the information that he was telling me personally. I would definitely use him again and certainly recommend him to anyone else. Note, that he will give a discount to Angie's List members, in our case 15%. The $400 charge, listed somewhere above, does not include the discount.
 
The following is a detailed account of what Jim did at our house for, I think, a typical badly blocked sewer line.
We contacted Anchor Sewer and Drain Cleaning in order to fix an apparent blocked main sewer line exiting the house.
The blockage was causing the water to back up and come into the cellar via holes in the vent pipe. The house was built in the 1930's so the pipes are very old and fragile.
We called about 8:30 AM and were pleasantly surprised that he could come that same day at 11:00 AM. He arrived on time at 11:00 AM.
Prior to the work being performed, he gave us prices for fixing the problem based on a couple of possible scenarios, dependent upon what he might find.
He also explained what each solution would entail and how long it might take. (3 hours in our case)
He was very careful getting the old main cap off the sewer line, which was stuck on, without breaking any of the old pipes.
Once access was obtained he used a specialized hose to pressurize the line to try to "blow out" any clog. However, this was not enough to fix the problem.
The next step was to use the electric "rooter" to cut through all the years of old sludge built up in the horizontal pipes and to cut any roots that might have gotten in over the last 80 years (which, it turns out we had). The rooter is a 200 pound machine that he had to get down the steep outside cellar stairs. It is an electric powered device with rotating cutters that clean the sewer and literally cut roots. The rooting was necessarily a slow process in our case as it was hitting blockages along the way that required slow going. He also had to negotiate joints in pipes that caused the machine to hang up. In the end, he was able to root the whole 90 feet to the town sewer.
Jim indicated that he always uses his "scope" to verify the success of the rooting process, which may not be performed by other companies, without an additional charge. This is a great device that clearly shows the inside of the pipe visually on the color screen (6" x 8" maybe?) of a portable device connected to the scope cable. In our case it showed a (now) very clean pipe with the remnants of very fine roots in the first 15 feet of pipe. (These were attended to last). The scope software also displays the current distance of the scope head to the house. Using the "scope" he was also able to identify a problem with the town's sewer that was not emptying properly and told us to notify the town.
The last step was to explain how to use a chemical, periodically, to kill the cut roots and to prevent future root growth. This is simply a foaming chemical that is applied through the toilet. He gave us the first treatment which we immediately applied.
Again, I recommend Anchor Sewer and Drain Cleaning for anyone else.

"I highly recommend Tom! He's a perfectionist with his work and very friendly. Anytime I need him, he's there. We own apartments in New England and pipes will sometimes break in the winter. Tom has come in the middle of the night to help out and I couldn't be happier with his service!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with J & O Plumbing, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! From the moment I called, they were prompt, professional, and courteous. They arrived right on time, quickly diagnosed the issue, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. The repair was done efficiently and with great attention to detail. What really stood out was how clean they left the area with no mess at all, which is always appreciated. Their pricing was fair and transparent, with no surprises. It’s rare to find tradespeople who are this reliable and respectful of your time and home. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future plumbing needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, quality service. "

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Mapleville, RI

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.
