"Firstly, I do not have a lot of experience with plumbing services...until now. We needed a gas line installed from a tee we discovered under our house.

I use Home Adviser to find services like this (after friend recs) and Earl's Plumbing were the 2nd company that contacted me. the 3rd to come to our house to give a free estimate. I guess it's true what they say that '3rd times a charm'! 

Our service person, Jason assessed the situation and gave me an estimate that was (NO JOKE) a third the price of the first 2 companies! I had a feeling I was getting hosed on the first two so I'm incredibly pleased that I waited to have Earl's Plumbing estimate.

Extra bonus-he was able to install that line right then!!! Who does that? In my experience, no one.

If you have a plumbing or gas line need, get Earl's plumbing to come and give you an estimate, you'll be happy you did!

Thanks Jason and Earl's Plumbing!

"Scotty provided a clear and detailed explanation of all my options, promptly restored my hot water heater to working condition, and informed me that the unit was out of warranty and may soon require a complete replacement. I found him to be highly knowledgeable, honest, and transparent throughout the process. Moving forward, he will be my primary plumber, and I will rely on him for all future plumbing projects."

"Quick call back after submiting my request. Wa sable to meet this emergency situaiton very timely. Showed up in a couple of hours as planned. Completed drain unclog and also fixed the toitle shut off valve and wax seal. Good clean up after tasks completed. Was a little disppointed that the flange bolts replaced for the new wax seal were too long for the plastic caps that cover the bolts.. More an aesthetic issue. No leaks and drains working well. Satisfactory and knowledgeable work work."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Palermo, 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.
