"I can't say enough good things about Dustin at Honest Sewer & Drain. He did an amazing job. He made the whole process quick and easy, and at a great deal, unlike some of the outrageous quotes I was given by others. I'm recommending him to anyone I know."

"I had a clogged main line. I desperately just wanted a shower but I was terrified of the havoc that it would create at my home. I needed a plumber ASAP. Mr. Ramsey arrived within minutes, cleared up the problem and was on his way. He was very nice and incredibly efficient. I will definitely call him again if I have a plumbing issue."

"Was able to advise me about getting a sewer clean out installed and what was causing the problem with backed up pipes. No repair was needed. This company is really honest and I will be using them again if I have a plumbing issue. Kyle was supper nice. Very helpful."

"Douglas is great. I had Bonney come out first they wanted to put new pipe in for $2000. I called several other plumbers they all said new pipe up to $3500. My washing machine was backing up when emptying and ever plumber said new pipe. Douglas said he could send the camera down and check it out. He ran a snake down 3 or more times, each time running the camera down until pipe was clean and clear. He put new trap and clean out for washing machine machine. After cutting away the wall board he put it all back together like new. Don't waste your time call Lagos first off. He is honest, friendly and confident and does GREAT WORK."

"Talked to Carl. About an estimate and he came out the following day. He assessed the problem we were having and explain what was going on. He asked some questions regarding the toilet and suggested the best solution would be to replace it. We scheduled a date for the removal and replacement and he would procure the necessary items to complete the job. After the install, he checked for leaks made sure it operated as advertised and the the work area was cleaned. All in all, it was very pleasant experience and I would use hime again."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Sacramento, CA

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.
