"The work was completed. I needed repair to my bathroom done urgently and Southern Plumbing came the same day I called. My bathroom floor caved in from water damage from leaking pipes. I live in an older house. When one thing was fixed something else started leaking and Daniel Roady stayed with it and made sure everything was good before he left. I strongly recommend Southern Plumbing. I will make sure I keep their card close. They were every dollar I paid them. By the way they were extremely reasonable. Thank you Daniel Roady & your assistant Colonel for your professionalism and work, and responding immediately.?"

"I recently had my mudroom remodeled and the transformation is incredible. He removed the old closet doors, added beautiful casing and shelving, installed new flooring, painted the entire room, and put in a new interior door. The space is now clean, functional, and looks amazing. He also did extensive work outside, including cleaning up my flower beds, cutting down trees, trimming my crape myrtles, and removing old pavers. My yard looks better than it has in a long time. He was professional, dependable, and clearly takes pride in his work. Cleans everything up when he is done. Everything was done with great attention to detail. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Montpelier, VA

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.
