"Nathan (Alfco) was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. We had a shower enclosure replaced with a updated sliding door enclosure. Nathan walked us thru the entire process and gave us a VERY reasonable price. We will use Alfco with all our plumbing and relate needs. Sincerely, Ben and Kris"

"I had a tankless water heater installed but needed the gas line to be dug from the other side of the house for it to be connected. The job was complicated but Luke and his crew from Mr. Rooter did a great job! I would totally hire them again for any plumbing needs. "

Customers say: Quality work

"We had them replumb entire house and they did a good job but due to the rebuild they couldn't finish everything so had to come back a couple months later when we were ready to finish the job. We scheduled a couple weeks in advance and they never showed up. We called and were given an excuse of an emergency service but told they had a "big new job" they were starting Tuesday. We had to be in by Friday so we agreed as long as they got it done by then. Never heard from again! After we had already used them for thousands of dollars of work and referred to others. By Friday afternoon we hired another local plumber who completed the job in less than 3 hours on Saturday. Unfortunately, we would not recommend Anthony or Tri-Star ever again. Very sad and shows poor character."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Rockwood, TN

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.
