"While unclogging the drain, the technician noted there was a steady leak in the same drain. He mentioned he wasn’t able to fix this and left me with a leaking drain. Also mentioned several times that the slow drain was due to my having 1 1/4 inch drains (common in sinks) instead of the standard 1 1/2 for tubs. I am handy enough to be able to replace the leaks, and the old drains were in fact 1 1/2 inches. Most likely the slow drain is due to the drum trap, not the size of the pipes. Kept overall rating to a B because he was able to clear my drain and VERY quickly, which is what I hired them for."

"Gary Lindman was not able to come the day I called him. He said he could come the next day in the afternoon. Gary kept in touch with me and came when he said he could. Because of very close working conditions, it took him almost a hour to cut through the broken drain. Once that was accomplished, Gary was able to install a new elbow and fittings. Gary was patient and I thought he did a fine job."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Minneapolis, MN

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.
