"We have used David several times over the last 2 years and he has been fantastic! Originally found him on here when I had a clogged tub drain the day we had houseguests arriving. Of the 3 companies recommended by Angie’s List he was the one who was able to come out same day and save the day! We have since used him for sewer work at our old house and new house as well as another clogged drain at the new house. David (and his crew) are great to work with! He does a wonderful job of explaining things, is personable, works hard, follows up, is up front about what is actually needed (ie, doesn’t suggest work that isn’t actually a necessity) and is very fairly priced. So thankful to have found our go-to guy! We definitely recommend!"

He worked methodically and focused, and cleaned up after himself, including all the materials clogging the rain gutters. A. first rate job.,"

"The plumber they sent said that I didn't need my sewer cleaned, and that my problem was likely due to old, corroded pipes and debris build up. He suggested pouring degreaser down my drains instead."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
