"I came home from work to find our 40-gallon water heater was not working (it was working that morning). The pilot was out and I could not get it re-lit (I do know how to light a pilot) After checking a number of companies on Angie's List, I contacted DB's Plumbing and Drain. Although it was almost 6pm, a very nice person answered the phone and I explained my dilemma. I was told they could send someone that night but would have to charge an after-hours rate. I was reasonably certain what was wrong would not be a simple fix like re-lighting a pilot so scheduled a visit for the following morning between 10 am and 12 noon. Michael D arrived shortly after 10 am. He was very courteous, polite and professional. Before entering my home, he donned a pair of shoe covers which was kept on as long as he was in the house. He diagnosed the problem as being a failed main burner system. As the water heater was 14-years-old, I weighed the cost of replacing just the main burner system on such an old unit against replacing the unit itself. I opted for the water heater replacement. Michael setup the old unit to drain while he went to retrieve the new one from their warehouse which took him about 45 minutes. Upon his return, he removed the old unit and cleaned up the area. He then cut back the existing copper lines to eliminate the numerous soldered couplings from the previous homeowner's repairs. He installed new copper pipes including a new quarter turn shut-off valve. A catch pan was placed and the water heater setup in it. Up reconnecting the gas line, he installed a sediment trap or drip leg (it did not have one previously) which catches sediment sometimes present in natural gas. After bringing the system online, Michael checked the gas line connections for leaks using a detection monitor. The installation was clean and neat and it is obvious Michael is conscientious about his work. Always interested in how things in my home work, Michael was very gracious in answering my questions regarding the installation. I am very happy with the install.and would like to thank Michael for his professionalism and the education."

"Technician was very honest saying we didn't have a leaking shower head, it was just slow to drain. He was very professional and informative for other recommendations on plumbing improvements."

"I have used David for several plumbing projects at my home as well as my rental unit to include hot water heater installation, utility sink installation, and clearing of a kitchen sink clog. David is very responsive even on a weekend and offered very fair and upfront pricing even when completed on a a weekend. Additionally, David is very communicative as when he will arrive so you arenâ t left wondering as to when to expect him to arrive to complete the work. I will definitely use David again for plumbing issues and projects."

"We had our sewer ejector pump running continuously one morning and we weren't sure if that was normal or not. We were referred to Paul by our neighbor a while back after he had some sump pump issues and we were so happy we stored his info right away. We called Paul at 7:30am and he was here by 8am. He was awesome! He told us what he wanted to do to troubleshoot the issue, see if he could repair it first, worked on it (cleaned it out, flushed it) and then informed us we needed to replace the ejector itself. Before he did all the work and before he gave us the estimate for the replacement, he had already called to Winchester and made sure they had a new pump for him to pick up, so when he informed us we needed a new pump of course our next questions were, "how much?" and "how long for the part?". The estimate was a good price (and it included the time he already was with us, get the new part from Winchester and installing it, all in the same day!) and he was off to another call and to pick up the pump. He called us as he was on the way back to us. He arrived and installed the new pump and a piece of melted PVC pipe that was warped from the old pump overheating and melting it. Paul was professional, timely and we will definitely be using his services in the future. He worked clean and left no trace that he was here working! Booties, took all the trash and even wiped the floor where he initially came in and had some wetness on the floor (it was ice storming the day he came). Thank you Paul and Priority One Plumbing!"

"The job went beautifully as expected. (Adam had unstopped our clogged drain the week prior.) We happily agreed to have our kitchen drain system hydro-jetted to cleanse it entirely. Though the drain had cleared to allow water to run freely, residue within the pipes meant the clog would return in a matter of months. (And this indeed has been our experience in recent years. Thrilled to have 33 year old pipes thoroughly cleaned. Adam is professional, clear in what he’s doing and why, excellent at immediately assessing and then remedying the problem. I cannot recommend him highly enough.."

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