"Best response and service we have ever had for a plumbing problem. They called us immediately and very patiently listened to our issue and walked through the pricing and process. A plumber came to our home as scheduled and worked efficiently to assess and fix the problem. We had a drain clog (not camera locate breakage) and they removed the toilet, snaked the drain and fixed the problem very quickly! There were no surprises and we paid for their service by the hour rather than by the job which saved us many $$s. We would definitely use then again and highly recommend."

We pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We are experts in our trade! We will always do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular task or project. We look forward to earning your business! Call us anytime! I am a plumber I know how to fix any plumbing line. I install gas or water lines. I install sewer main or repair them I install toilets anywhere you want them

"Gabriel charged us ridiculous prices for simple tasks ($75 for replacing a valve faucet in the backyard and $200 for replacing an older bathtub drain with one that we bought) on top of the $300 (150/hour labor) that he took just to show up and diagnose a potential leak. He initially said that the $200 included work on a second drain that was very corroded and stuck and promise that he will come again since he was missing a tool but when he show up he asked for an additional $300 at which point we almost let him do it but he requested the money beforehand since he was worried (rightfully) that if he breaks the tub we will not be paying him. At which point we decided to not let him do the job since he does not put his money on his skill. We managed to fix the second drain with $20 given to another plumber who came in for an unrelated issue."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Santa Cruz, 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.
