"Just too expensive for what you get. Feels like a big company nickel and dime move. I get having a trip charge. Which was $109. But then to have the tech who was great btw (not his fault), but was tentative about fixing the problem because of creating more damage. Another $160 for a simple diagnostic charge, again without fixing the problem. I already knew the diagnosis. So he basically did a Band-Aid fix (greased the Knob) and still charged me over $280+ for what equated to be 10 minutes of work. It was ridiculously high for the service provided. Next time I?m going to an independent, local guy. "

Bourque Mechanical is family owned & operated since 1986!Our main gaol is to be honest with the customer..Give us a call for an estimate,for service or for a question and we will be happy to help you out! Award winning.

"We recently had Bourque Mechanical Systems replace our old oil boiler, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Steve was our main point of contact, and he was excellent throughout the process. He was straightforward, never overpromised, and consistently steered us in the right direction, which made a potentially stressful project feel very manageable. The quality of the work was legitimately the best we’ve experienced from any organization that has worked on our home in the last ten years. The job itself was sizable, yet the team was thorough, professional, and completed everything in a single day without cutting corners. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail. The work site was kept clean, and the final product was incredibly well done. I truly appreciate a clean, organized job site, and Bourque exceeded expectations in that regard. I couldn’t be more impressed and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing mechanical or heating system work."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Schenectady, NY

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.
