"I really do not know why some people have zeros with their reviews when they provide the praise they do. Dave had a major job at my residence. After the septic tank was pumped, he found major issues with the 85 year old sewer line. Tree roots had broken into the line, several sections of pipe had breaks, and of course, the pipes are under concrete! Thanks to his and his son's expertise with camera technology and state of the art equipment, I now have clear drains and sewer line and two access pipes. Because of the camera, Dave & Justin only had to dig up about 4 square feet of concrete to access the line. It took several days and a great deal of money, but it is worth every penny. I have a toilet and walk in shower that are no longer backing up, a drain in another bath that has not drained properly for several years, that drains perfectly. Previous plumbers would fix the problem, but it would re-occur. The last plumber, who has been extremely helpful, advised get a camera guy this is more than I can fix with a snake. Dave is extremely knowledgeable and a great diagnostician. He has good advice for how to prevent issues with drain and sewer lines as well, and even provided medicine, given with a glass of warm water every couple of weeks (down the drain, but NOT the toilets). I MADE SURE HE GAVE ME HIS BUSINESS CARD so I have it in the file."

"A little inexperience with my particular faucet caused the genttleman to give some incorrect advice but it was minor. Great customer service otherwise and nothing that a few more years of experience won't fix. Friendly and customer focused. I would definitely hire again and will."

"They talked with me nice and completed good normal work. It was very expensive, I assume mostly because they did come after normal business hours. I asked them if they could send someone right away. They didn't give an arrival expectation because they had limited staff but the plumber stopped out to my house within 3 hours from my original call. Overall I was relieved that they stopped the leaking water before more damage could be done."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in San Marcos, TX

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.
