"My basement sink was clogged. I poured Drano (I know I should not have done that) down it. As the water just sat there looking at me laughing while the Drano ate away at my pipes, I knew I needed help. I called Extreme Plumbing Tuesday afternoon. They were prepared to come out that day but I was not prepared. They came out Thursday afternoon. They were running a little late and they called, not when they were supposed to be there but 15-20 minutes before to let me know they were going to be a little late. As they were working, they explained everything to me. They explained how much it would cost if it was a simple fix and what it would cost if there was major problems. It was a simple fix with minor parts and what they quoted for a simple fix is what I paid. No hidden cost at all. These men were professional, clean, informative, and friendly. They are in my contacts as my plumber now. I was so impressed with their professionalism I got several of their cards to pass along to my friends. If you have plumbing problems, this is the company you need to call."

"I hired them to unclog a toilet. Got a next day appointment. Patrick was helpful and courteous in scheduling and quoting the job. Justin came early and asked questions to understand the problem and what I had already tried to clear the drain. Within 15 minutes he had the drain running. Good service at a good price. I would use them again."

"The Technicians were professional and great to work with. They informed me of what the issue was and what was needed to resolve it. I was very pleased with the work and attitude of the technicians, they made me feel very comfortable that they had the job under control. In about 20 - 30 minutes I had my Kitchen sink back, clog cleared, and operating as it should. It was a great and satisfying outcome."

"The first guy tried everything to get my clog clear. The clog was completely my fault, and he did everything he could to clear it at the best price point possible. When we had to go to more extreme measures, that second guy was able to get the clog clear, and they billed me very fairly for what they had to do for me. I am very great full to them. Very professional, and left everything clean upon leaving! I would definitely get them again."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Swarthmore, 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.
