"I had a sewer back up that needed immediate attention and Felipe with Moor Plumbing Solutions was able to come within a couple hours to fix the problem. He was friendly, knowledgeable, provided a fair estimate on the phone. When he snaked the sewer line, he also took the the time to put a camera down the pipe and show me the tree roots that were the issue. He gave me a few options for a short term & long term solution. In addition to this he snaked my kids upstairs bathroom sink that had been clogged. Good attention to detail and someone I would definitely hire anytime you need plumbing help."

"He was fast, professional, and knew his stuff. He initially contacted me via both a phone call and the messenger tool within HomeAdvisor. I exchanged texts with him and got a quote. After a 2nd quote, Wilmar was the lower price. Wilmar showed up slightly early, just the right amount to be early but not annoying. After I explained the problem and showed him where, he quickly determined that coming through the vent in the roof to snake the pipe was best. Within five minutes of starting, my clogged sink was once again draining. He spent some extra time to make sure everything worked and it wasn't just a quick fluke. He was super friendly the whole time and explained when I asked him for the details."

"Our main drain backed up on a Friday evening. When we called Octavio he and his team came out at 8am the next day. They arrived promptly, discovered the problem, and cleared the blockage. They were professional and friendly throughout the process and left the worksite clean. The rate was reasonable."

"Excellent. I had an outdoor water pipe leaking. I simply wanted the pipe cut and capped. They did exactly as requested. Done is less than 20 minutes. Very reasonable price. Definitely would use them again."

"After talking to Jaime of SWAGS, I was made aware that it was not his company who did the plumbing work in my house, but anothe company. My apologies. Jaime was also kind enough to tell me that his company makes sure to be on the appointed time or if not, that their customers are reasonably informed of any delay. His company would have been my first choice since he told me he tried contacting me 3 times and did not get any call back from me. It must have been the day or days when I was having problems with the phone service. If only for his effort to reach out and that he was nice enough despite the mistake speaks greatly of professionalism I will definitely give his company a call the next time the need arises."

"CORE Plumbing, Jose gave us a very competitive quote to replace all of the house drain pipes and replacing the main sewer line. Jose showed us how our pipes were metal and very corroded causing the blockage. He able to start working the next day and finished everything in 2 1/2 days! He and his crew were professional and neat, always cleaning as the worked. We highly recommend Core Plumbing Solutions!"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in San Jose, 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.
