"The servicemen from L&P Plumbing and Heating arrived 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time. They were courteous and helpful. They explained what they were going to do and worked quickly and efficiently. They snaked over twenty feet into the drain to clear the cement that lodged in the drain when our steps were renovated. The call was an urgent one as severe rain was expected and we had already experienced flooding in our laundry room once. L & P restored my piece of mind and I am grateful!"

"I selected ASAP from 3 out of 10 A rated providers, who responded from Angies. I don't know why Home Advisor has grouped this under CLOG service. That was not the case. An unscrupulous worker had removed drain pipes. Udi offered a free fast estimate. Utility sink needed repiping. Arrived within an hour. Craftsman was neat and so expert he hardly used or needed any tools! I mean he precisely just eyeballed fittings to make matters perfect. Final price was right within the estimate. I look forward to using their trades' services again for plaster and complete bathroom sink replacement."

"My boiler was not working. I had a company come out and say that it was so old and carbonized the best bet was to replace it. I called other companies who either refused the work of attempting to fix and clean or suggested a full replacement. Upon recommendation of my realtor, I called Franco Belli Plumbing. I spoke with the manager there, Manny, who after seeing photos of my boiler, insisted he could fix the boiler. And fix it he did! Manny knows what he is doing, he's like a boiler artist, a Mozart of heating systems. He just gets it. My boiler is up and running perfectly, and judging from the way it looked on the inside before and after - is running even better than it was before. Such fair pricing as well, after a lot of researching and calling around - Manny did this amazing work and saved me from using another company and their easy way out of installing an entire new boiler at $5K when I could get another 10 years out of this one. Don't hesitate to call Franco Belli Plumbing & Heating! Manny is the best!"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Manhattan, NY

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.
