"Cody was AWESOME! I will be contacting him anytime I need a plumber! What we thought was a simple cartridge replacement on my bathtub handle ended up being a full valve replacement. Cody moved his day around for me so he could get the job done. The work is excellent. He is very polite, kind, and professional. Do yourself a favor and call Shaw Sewer and Drain Service for all your plumbing needs!"

"This is the first repair service I have ever used that explained their costs as if they were the customer (the cost would be more than the value received). All other services just do a job and hand the customer a bill that is outrageous. Thanks Gary for saving me a pile of money. You have earned my trust. ben bentley"

"We had a great experience with our plumber and would highly recommend his services. He fixed a leaky water valve, changed a drain spout and worked on a new faucet install quickly and efficiently. What really stood out was how friendly and personable he was throughout the entire visit. He took the time to clearly explain what the issue was, how he was going to fix it, and even walked us through what he had done once the work was complete. It was obvious that he genuinely enjoys his work and takes pride in doing it well. We also appreciated his professionalism and respect for our home?he even took his shoes off without being asked. It?s not often you come across someone who combines skill, honesty, and great customer service so well. We wouldn?t hesitate to call him again!"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Richmond, KY

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.
