"Aaronâ s was able to get out sooner than other local company I contacted. Technician Alex is knowledgeable and good at explaining the situation as we figured out the problem over 3 visits. This was during our 2022-2023 160-year series of rainstorms. My basement and garage were flooding and I could hear the sump pump wasnâ t running. Replaced sump pump after finding the correct size. Then it ran but still flooded. He came back, figured out drain was blocked and where. This 60 year old house has had many changes over the years, so that wasnâ t easy. Replaced old drain in cost-effective way. All the while he maintained a positive professional attitude. I will call them again, including for a bid when I redo laundry room service."

"Jesus was awesome - not only was he the first to respond to my inquiry, he fit me in quickly after a weekend and did the best job of any plumber I have ever had service my condo. Not all plumbers do a thorough or ideal set up and Jesus corrected what was leaking and fixed prior issues. Personable, professional, and reasonably priced, I am definitely hiring him again for any future plumbing work!"

"Mike knew what he was doing and explained the whole process for us. After unblocking the clogged pipe, he recommended using a tv probe to check out the pipe. This allowed us to see the condition of our sewer pipe and take the necessary flushing option. I feel much better knowing the condition of our sewer pipes."

"The folks @ Mike Counsil have done work for us in the past, including the heater installation and unclogging/cleaning a backed up drain. Any time we've had work done by them, they are always right on time and very professional. They get the job done and clean up after they're finished to ensure there's no clean up for the customer. I highly recommend them for all of your plumbing needs."

"At first the company's name made us imagine they were just about clearing clogged drain lines, but we got superb service on a project to replace leaking shower faucets in the bathroom. Gerardo came to see what was needed and was very helpful in finding a quick and cost effective way to source the materials. He was completely committed to taking care of his customers. He returned to do the installation at the time we had agreed would be convenient for us, despite having been up working till all hours of the night on another emergency job. He even spent the time before returning to his emergency site to check and make sure the existing shower head was free of grit and working as it should. We absolutely will want this company, and him, for any future projects."

"Mike Counsil Plumbing was very responsive to scheduling the repair of a water heater leak at my house. Service provider Xavier Zepeda was very clear about their process and how they would determine the cost and get my agreement prior to commencing work. Xaviers writeup of the scope of work was very detailed and very clear. He took the time to explain exactly the work he was going to do and itemized the cost for the work. I am very pleased with the quality of the work that was done and will definitely hire this firm for future plumbing jobs at my house. Service providers Xavier Zepeda and Juan Arreola did a great job upgrading some piping and values of our water heater and adjusting the pressure in the system to stop the leak from the drain line. High quality work."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in New-almaden, 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.
