"Originally very happy with their service, a bit expensive though. My issue is now, I found the cracked pvc pipe where water was going on my floor after the furnace install. I figured after $15k worth of work from them they would have caught something like this. I had to fix myself. I also was sold a whole house water filter, which I actually like. What I didn't like is they wanted to charge me $360 for a $130 part which I was able to change myself in 10 minutes, and I'm a woman who's never done it before. I believe they charge way too much money for the work they do. They're quick so it's obvious they're paid by the job. I overheard a worker say the faster they get done the more jobs they get. So it's quantity over quality. I would much prefer to have a single individual and not a company from now on. I also do not appreciate the AI bot answering service. I much prefer talking to a human. Will not be doing business again. "

"Great service! Jordan and Bob came out within 30 mins of scheduling. Jordan was very knowledgeable on what he was doing which put me at ease. He even educated me on a few things while explaining. Not only did he fix the problem he told me the next steps to solve the issue indefinitely. I will be returning for the next steps. 10/10 highly recommend!"

"Jeremy went above and beyond installing a gas shut off valve for us. Answer to our prayer because we couldn’t find anyone without a lengthy waiting period and outrageous pricing. Even helped move the old stove. Great guy. Great service. "

"Our line froze ,I messaged early this morning & received a reply within less than a minute! Thankfully Bill was able to come out today ,he was going to come later in the day but was able to squeeze us in earlier .He gave a free estimate (of course he couldn't give me a full estimate until he saw what needed done ) but was very reasonable and friendly and had the job done quickly and professionally - in fact we will have him back to do more work ! We recommend highly ! Thank you Bill and Angie's list for having him listed that's how we found him ! Antesberger plumbing...oh he's not pushy either doesn't try to sell you something you don't need ! 5 stars !"

"I donâ  t know where to begin to say how satisfied I am with A & J Contracting! I needed my basement renovated ASAP and Mr. Anthony met with me in a timely manner explaining in great detail the work he would perform and how pleased I would be! Let me tell you he did NOT disappoint because he and his partner Mark performed what I call a â  miracleâ  in renovating my basement and went above and beyond my expectations!!!! Iâ  ve shown many the before and after pictures of what I now can call my family room and the response each time was how â  beautifulâ  of a job Anthony did!! If you are in need a great contractor donâ  t look anywhere else but A & J Contractor and call Anthony NOW! My family still canâ  t believe what A & J Contractor did with that old and in bad shape basement!! Very professional and the many years of experience really was on display!! Thank you again Anthony and Mark for restoring our basement!! Iâ  ll definitely be utilizing them in the future and wonâ  t have to look elsewhere!!"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Smithton, PA

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.
