"I had a subsurface drain completely clogged with tree roots. I had inserted a rod to determine where the clog started and dug down to the spot. I discovered that the old Kenova tarpaper pipe coupling had allowed several large roots to penetrate the pipe. I cut the coupling out with a hacksaw hoping to pull the roots out. However, the roots had grown up about 10 feet of the pipe and I was unable to dislodge them. I bought a 2 ft. section of 3and quot; ABS pipe to replace the cutout section, together with two flexible couplings. But, the old pipe is slightly larger that the replacement pipe and the couplings. I was standing there scratching my head, unable to remove the roots, with a large hole in my yard and couplings that would be the devil to install. I called another drain cleaner and was given high quotes and a bit of a run-around when it came to getting someone to come out and help me.
So, I called Roto-Rooter. The technician came in 15 minutes and gave me a quote that was 2/3 of the lowest quote I had received from the competition. He immediately set to work and in about an hour he had cleaned the line, cut the replacement pipe to length, and managed to install the couplings over the old pipe which was somewhat oversize. He backfilled the hole and tamped the replaced dirt after first checking the flow. It was the best service I have received from a tradesman in years. The technician's name was John. I don't know if he is representative of all of Roto-Rooter's people, but I know that any time tin future I need some drain work done, I will call Roto-Rooter and ask for John.

"They came out to check on a clog that turned out to be roots in the sewer pipe. They knew exactly what to do and the guys were super nice. They explained everything and they performed their work professionally. The customer service was perfect. I will be having them back to replace the sewer pipe under the basement floor with full confidence. I would hire them again for any plumbing job in the future."

"These guys were phenomenal. We hired them to replace our shower faucet and shower head yesterday. They went above and beyond to make sure it was done right. I will say that it was a bit more expensive than I thought it would be, but I completely understand why. What I was super impressed with was any time they had to go get parts or do this or that, he would ask me to come and look at what he's doing. Plumbing is a foreign language to me, but he explained everything in great detail about what they were doing, what needed to be done and why. He kept me so very well informed throughout the entire job. They worked very fast but not too fast to make mistakes. They cleaned up after the job very nicely and very timely. Kudos to them! I would absolutely 100% recommend these guys for any plumbing job and we will absolutely use them if needed in the future! Two areas of feedback. 1 -They had to replace panel behind our hallway toilet. It's just a smidge crooked. To be fair, the old panel was painted the same color as the walls, so it's very possible the old one wa a crooked too and we just didn't notice. And 2 - maybe look into booties to cover your rubber boots for non emergency situations? This is by no means a complaint. Plumbing is a messy job and I appreciate everything they did. Just a suggestion!"

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"These gentlemen were very conscientious about my home. They cleaned up after themselves thoroughly. Other than the hole in my ceiling, you would never know they were there. They came, got right to the job and completed it promptly. With some investigation, they knew exactly how to fix the leak. I have a very curious cat, and they even took time to pet him. I closed him in a room so he wouldn't bother them but they assured me he was fine. The cat liked both of the workers. I value animal instinct so I knew these were good people. I have absolutely no complaints about the work that was done at our home. As a matter of fact, I plan to use them again at a later date to install a gas heater and hot water tank. Keep up the great work!!"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Parkersburg, WV

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.
