" We hired David the plumber to do a job for one of our customers, at 4 Fern Lane Poughkeepsie, he was hired to install 2 vanity faucets, and additional plumbing work that were incorrectly installed we had to call him back several times to get him to fix the leaks that were caused by his lack of experience and incompetence, we thought he was a licensed plumber, but it turned out to be he is not licensed at all, but he has his van wrapped with his name "Davide The Plumber" this guy is a fraud I am warning everyone, to stay away if you don't want to want to deal with the stress, once he takes your money he will not go back to warranty his work, unless he is threaten to be sued. Whatever you do not hire this person. Our Attorney has been informed of the work he did and he is being sued. after several attempts to go back to fix his shabby job he would not go back to fix the issue, so we are suing him and we are filing a formal complaint with the town of Poughkeepsie "

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Marlboro, NY

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.
