"We were relieved to learn that we had a blocked drain and not something worse. The owner used a high powered snake to unblock the drain and tested the water flow several times to make sure everything was draining properly. Very grateful that this company responded to our request so quickly! Would absolutely use them again."

"Brickhaas Plumbing was extremely helpful and put up with a lot of questions throughout the process of running a new gas service line for my new house. The owner was very patient with me even when paperwork needed resubmitted to the gas company due to mishandling on their end. I would absolutely recommend Brickhaas to friends and family."

"Mr. Kachurick installed a gas line for a fireplace in my home. He was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and professional. The service he provided was top tier. He made sure I understood everything he would be doing and even showed me how he checked to make sure the gas line wasn’t leaking after installing it. Not only did he provide us with excellent service in terms of the line installation, his expertise also gave me peace of mind, knowing that we were provided with high quality work."

"The plumber they sent said that I didn't need my sewer cleaned, and that my problem was likely due to old, corroded pipes and debris build up. He suggested pouring degreaser down my drains instead."

The problem with most "pros"? Too many bad habits.\nIt's easy to get swept away in the day to day monotony, even for those that call themselves "pros". When it comes to hiring a heating and cooling technician, nobody wants to deal with being treated like a sale rather than a person, the use of scare tactics instead of education, or someone who just wants to get to job done quickly instead of correctly. \nAll our HVAC pros go through 5 years of HVAC schooling, for a total of 10,000 hours of on-the-job training. And it's not just technical training either; it's training that focuses on you, on making you feel comfortable every step of the way. We will roll out the red carpet for you, both figuratively and literally.\nRed Carpet Treatment\nDuring every visit to a home, we lay out an actual red carpet to prevent any additional mess. But what may be even more important than just protecting your home is making sure you feel like you've received the best in customer service.

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Penn Hills, PA

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.
