"Great customer service and quick response time. They had someone to me in hours during an emergency and fixed the problem in the same day. I would request Joe Winchester if you can. He was professional, kind, and didn't quit until the problem was solved. I wouldn't think twice to call Done Right Today again. "

"Zoom Drain is a company that I would use again. I needed a gas line removed and a duct vent relocated in my laundry room, zoom drain came, assessed the job and gave me a reasonable price to fit the job. Jonathan was very professional and polite, he explained in detail what he would have to do how long the job would take and made sure he addressed all of my questions. I didn’t feel pressured to hire them on the spot, he allowed me time to speak to my husband and set a date for the job. Upon walking me through the job Jonathan pointed out to me plumbing problems that I had from work that another company had just done and I told him my concerns with the work that was done and with no questions asked he told me he would fix it for me. I really appreciate when I get workers who are honest and really want to do the job and do it correctly and this company has shown me that I can trust and count on them to do the job."

"This company repaired a leak caused by a contractor error. We paid them and submitted to contractor to submit to their insurance company. Service Today will only provide a lump sum invoice which insurance company will not accept. They must have their reason for not providing a proper invoice, or providing invoice notes as stated on invoice. Overcharging? Shady company!"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Newark, DE

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.
