"David (owner) answered the phone. We discussed my problem and he let me know he could get to my house mid-afternoon. Another job took longer than expected but he communicated throughout the day. The clogged drain was deep in the pipe buried in the wall, but after much persistence, David was able to get the drain cleared. He was very thorough and cleaned up after the work; also offered a 6-month warranty to return if it happens again. We found our new plumber; highly recommend!"

"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."

"The pvc pipe disconnected from under my kitchen sink. Bill called me within 2 hours of me trying to find a handyman and came right out. He fixed my sink right away. Great service and did not over charge. Thank you Bill ! Also sorry about our dog. She is not a happy camper having to be in her kennel when there is company, but you did very well about her. Thank you again! Shannon & George"

"I had low water pressure in my sink. Brickhaas Plumbing worked around my schedule when setting up an appointment. The aerator in my faucet had to be replaced and due to corrosion was difficult to get to. But Dominic persisted and was successful. The price was $125."

"Rich did a great job! I unexpectedly needed a dryer outlet installed. I called Rich on a Sunday and he set up a time that worked for me on Tuesday. He came prepared, I unfortunately gave him a wrong measurement (All my fault, I was off by a lot!) but Rich was a pro and brought extra and saved the day! Rich worked hard and nonstop, even fixing another problem I had on the spot. Whatever the project threw at him. Rich always knew what to do and would explain to me the options. Rich always had my family's and I's safety as a number one priority and I can't thank him enough for that. Overall, the prices are good and there is experience and knowhow behind the service. I know that any future project or mishap I have, I'll be calling Spellman Home Services for the job!"

"Ran power snake to clear sewer line clog (roots), and then ran camera to inspect line, locate problem area, and provide quote for permanent solution. Timely response. Work was well done. Encountered several unexpected issues, but the technician found a way to resolve each of them and complete the project for the price quoted."

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