"Had a slow drain in the kitchen sink. Was able to get an appointment the next day. Person scheduling the appointment was emphatic that they do not quote the job until the tech has a look of the problem. Their price, however, was competitive and in-line with the one other quote I got over text message. The tech was friendly, super knowledgable, and got my clogged cleared up within one hour. Definitely recommend!!!"

"Jess and his crew did a great job recently repiping my house, both the water supply and drain lines. Jess is easy to work with and very responsive. His price was very reasonable. He came back promptly to fix some very minor issues I found (tiny leaks from the kitchen sink drain and from one of the outside faucets). Everything is fine now. The sprinklers in my backyard work better now because they're getting more pressure than they got from the very old galvanized pipes that were replaced. I'm happy to recommend him."

"We thought we needed just our washer drain unclogged so we called the company that had fixed that before, you guys. Guys came out. Under the house they discovered rusted sewer lines. When we had our plumbing redone years ago, the company who did those did not remove the old lines. Those old lines were up against the sewer lines and were corroding our sewer lines. So we had to replace the sewer lines. A broken line just before the city line was discovered so we had to replace that too. Anyhow, we so appreciated the kind workers who smiled and waved at us. They worked around our water schedule as we have a physically disabled adult son we care for. They let us watch all the things they had to do. I took pictures and the guys were fine with that. My brand new front yard was not ruined by trenchless sewer system that went in. And my yard looks like we never had sewer lines done. It was amazing. Yes, we would recommend you to all."

"We recently had Major League Plumbing & Rooter complete a sewer main repair at one of our commercial properties, and we couldn?t be happier with the service. From the initial inspection to the completion of the repair, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. They clearly explained the issue, provided honest recommendations, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the repair with minimal disruption to our business operations. Their attention to detail, cleanliness, and commitment to quality workmanship truly stood out. Commercial plumbing issues can be stressful, but Major League Plumbing made the entire process smooth and hassle-free. We highly recommend them to any business or property owner in need of reliable, professional plumbing services. Thank you for a job well done!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Our guest house bathroom had a drain issue. ICR started the snake cable and found out that there was an obstruction on the main line. They used their camera to find out what the issue was and found out that an old cable was left in the line. They were able to call the city to work on the issue. All was done very quickly and professionally. I would use them again for sure."

"At first the company's name made us imagine they were just about clearing clogged drain lines, but we got superb service on a project to replace leaking shower faucets in the bathroom. Gerardo came to see what was needed and was very helpful in finding a quick and cost effective way to source the materials. He was completely committed to taking care of his customers. He returned to do the installation at the time we had agreed would be convenient for us, despite having been up working till all hours of the night on another emergency job. He even spent the time before returning to his emergency site to check and make sure the existing shower head was free of grit and working as it should. We absolutely will want this company, and him, for any future projects."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Gilroy, CA

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.
