"Brian came out and tried to unclog the kitchen drain. All other drains were working fine. Took three attempts with his electric snake which I give him kudos for, as third time was the charm. I was ready to give up after his second attempt (of course I wasn't doing anything but watching) but he did it a third time and it broke free, whatever it was. He then gave me advice on what I should do next and started to clean things up, but it was all my mess from me trying to un clog it for the last couple of weeks. Real nice guy and is great at answering and returning calls. Not once did I talk to a voicemail. Thanks."

"Mr. Rooter took the time to explain the problem to us and evaluate options taking care to identify ways to save costs. Based on our experience with them, we've asked them to help us determine how to install a sump in the basement because of flooding and a washer/dryer hookup. We will continue to use them as they are prompt, polite, and professional."

10 years experience half in service and repair work and the other half building commercial buildings or doing commercial tenant improvements. I hold Pro-Pex certification and Counterstrike Trac-Pipe(flexible Gas Pipe) certification while working in the area for over 20 years. I went to Granite Bay high school and have built great relationships with customers and suppliers over those years. I hold multiple commercial purchasing accounts with suppliers to enable me to purchase materials at the lowest Price and Best Quality. My company works locally and remains completely honest and straightforward so you get the best install and equipment at the lowest cost.

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Nevada City, 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.
