"Hired this company March 2020 and he said that he replaced the pipe all the way out across the road (at least 80ft). Well that was a lie. new company came out today and put a camera down and it shows the piping only goes out 40ft which is only my yard and not across the street. Do not hire these people."

"I hired West Water and Sewer to fix an issue with my sewer line that Roto Rooter caused at my house in Detroit. Without going into too much detail, they charged me $11k to replace maybe 20ft of pipe, and found some old disused septic tanks under my yard. They told me I wasnt hooked up to the sewer at all, that it would be $40k to install a new line, then diverted my pipes into the dilapidated tanks they found. So glad that I got in contact with Geoff from West Water and Sewer, he was straight with me and told me that Roto Rooter had most likely lost the lead to the sewer and were just trying to squeeze more money out of me. They came out on Easter sunday to excavate and fix the issue, found the lead to my sewer line, piped me back in, sleeved and snaked it all the way to the main and did it for $6k. I wish I would have called him first, it would have saved me from so much stress. Highly recommend them if you're looking for an honest and professional plumber."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Dexter, MI

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.
