"Drain was cleared as contracted. The price was very high. But they did show up within two hours of the call. They worked out of their unmarked truck and one had their 3-4 yr old daughter in the cab during the job. So one of them had to stay in the truck all the time with her. It did not stop the work from getting done. But I had wondered why they kept splitting up who did what."

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"They immediately got started and started snaking the drain. The equipment they were using broke several times and had to be adjusted. They kept going and at approximately 40 feet in to the drain came to what appeared to be an obstruction. They informed me there was an obstruction in the line and provided a estimate of approximately $3900 to dig the line and replace what they believed to be a crushed line. That said, the obstruction was not fixed on the initial visit, but I was informed the original call cost would be deducted from the 5 foot spot fix for the crushed line.
Fortunately, my son in law was here for the holidays and he and I agreed the repair ($3900) was well outside of what was reasonable and that we would attempt to fix the crushed pipe ourselves. My single best decision from the not so good experience above. The Mr. Rooter plumber did show me approximately where the obstruction was outside my home so we started digging there today. We found the obstruction was actually an outside service pipe that had been installed by the previous owner. My son in law and I, opened the service line, relieved the pressure, ran my garden hose down the pipe and completely cleared the obstruction. All that said, I went from a costly service call ($262) to a $3900 repair in about 40 minutes using Mr. Rooter. Maybe if the equipment had been in better condition it would have gone through the pipe easier, don't know. I had used Mr. Rooter about 2 or so years ago and had a completely different experience and paid just under $100 (still costly) for the exact same service and that representative was able to rund the snake clear to the road, over 100 feed. Overall, nice representatives, not so good equipment, maybe a little more expertise prior to going for a costly repair. Thank goodness my son in law was home. We were actually done by 3PM, I now know the location of the outside service access and had a nice lunch as well. Again, get an estimate on the phone before you have them come to your home."

"Of the several things that broke (sewer clogged, refrigerator, ice maker, water dispenser) only half of one thing was covered. It takes days or weeks to find out if it is covered. The companies they send out are not the best. Some tried to sell me services I didn't need, the others took forever to get parts and return. After finding out the work wasn't covered, I found better companies, paid them out of pocket and had a much better outcome. I think the $300 I spend on the warranty would have been better spent on service companies that I judged as quality. I did not renew this warranty and would never buy it again."

"Waterman Plumbing’s Charles Waterman saved my day! I realized I had a sewer line issue after flushing the toilet, which ran very slow. Shortly after, I emptied my dish water and the water barely drained out of the sink. I panicked! I found Charlie’s business on my HomeAdvisor app and called. He was polite and came to my home right away. He and his wife were courteous, informative, quick to do the work and professional. Within a short period of time, tree roots were cleared from the sewer line, my toilets were draining and so was the water in my sink. They cleaned up after the work was completed and the price was reasonable. I will call them again if I have any plumbing issues, as well as highly recommend them to my family and friends. Relieved and grateful, Ginny M."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Wheeling, WV

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.
