"The toilet clog was an UNNERVING MESS for me. But Lions Head Owner came and inspected. He then explained and Went To Work On It! He accomplished the work expediently, economically and cleanly (the problem was BOTH under the house and inside). I Highly Recommend Lions Head. And will keep this company for future jobs."

"Great. Atomic Plumbing's Jim Miller showed up during the scheduled maintenance window. We talked about the problem of the clogged pipe, and then he looked at a few things. Then he explained to me what was going, and why. My drainage pipe from the washing machine was smaller than it should have been. I could replace it, and other pipes under the house, or get it snaked out and cleaned out for now. I choose just the snake procedure. He was very thorough and meticulous as he drained the water from my deep sink and then undid the drain plug on the pipe, and proceeded to snake the pipe. Once done, he tested the drainage of the pipe with a full washing machine of water. It passed the test! I was very happy everything went as he said it would. Jim is also a funny guy, as he was working and we talked, he had some stories he told me, that I thought were quite hilarious. Bottom line, I am extremely happy with the job he performed at the price stated. I would not hesitate to recommend Jim, and Atomic plumbing if some one asked me about knowing a good plumber. I know if I have another plumbing problem, I will be calling Atomic Plumbers again. Thanks Jim!"

"James Ludwig provided very quick service to our clogged toilet drain and in the process another problem with a cracked drain pipe flange that another technician might have missed. Excellent work."

"I got a plumber to come on Saturday to open a clogged sewer line. He cleared the line and was very helpful in suggesting the probable cause of the clog, which has happened several times, and to show how to replace the line."

"From the first phone call, I was impressed, but cautiously so. I hear too often of the person or organization that provides "quality service", only to be disappointed with the service or the cost. I am pleased to report that I received that true quality service from start to finish, from the first phone call to completion of the requested work. I give my highest recommendation to Adem R., the Field Team Lead that cleared our drains this month. Adem was professional, and taught me some basic strategies for maintenance. The entire visit was finished within thirty minutes, and we had clear drains and simple plan to keep our pipes clear moving forward. Thank you, to the whole Mr. Rooter Plumbing team, for understanding what quality service is and ensuring that it is provided to the community. I know who to call with plumbing issue from here on out! All my best, Scott Cadwell"

His work is clean, well thought out and executed. The bottom line is, he wants the work to be right and the customer to be happy. I highly recommend Tony for your plumbing needs."

"The unit had a pinhole leak and was about a pound off of Freon. Stop leak was put in and added Freon. Butch was the field service rep and he was professional with what you could tell was inherent knowledge of the HVAC system. He looked at all components and even helped me tape up some ducting that was leaking A/C to the attic. What more can you say for a company who comes out quickly and leaves with all your concerns answered and then some! Great company and better people."

"BLUF: Extremely professional, detail-driven, highly recommend, intend to use again. Lost one star on overall grade due to lack of subcontractor control. *Edited to give the star back because of how quickly Worleys made things right. Work completed: Backed up drain cleaned out then scoped, revealed bellied pipes, required 150 ft of sewer pipe replacement (to include going through the slab for access), adding gravel under the pipe, and French drain installation near the sewer pipe to prevent recurrence. Worleys caught the root cause of our problems, which at least 4 other local plumbing companies missed. What impressed us is they hold a professionalism/technical standard higher than state requirements. They went the extra mile in many ways; even saved my more expensive landscaping plants and did not have to. The sub-contractor was just okay, we ran into a couple quality control issues there. Worleys very quick to make it right. Ask for a Happy Check if there is a problem with a subcontractor."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Chesapeake, VA

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.
