"Tyler installed a complete septic system for our new home construction project. This included a 2000 gallon concrete tank with a distribution box and 165â of leach field. The installation was completed ahead of schedule and the site was finish graded very nicely upon completion. The system design engineer and the city building inspector both signed off with positive comments on the quality of work. We used Tyler to trench and install our water connection as well. We intend to use his services in the future also. We highly recommend him."

"1st of all, this company IS LICENSED! Not only did they provide their LLC license upon request, but I validated it with the State of California. As for the review...I rarely take the time to post reviews, but I had to with this company/experience.  It is a company that has their heart and talent in the right place! Such a breath of fresh air. The company name says it all. They explained that they started it to help people and proved that they truly do put PEOPLE 1st. They do amazing work, and 100% stand behind it. They are so flexible, patient, and easy & wonderful to work with, and incredibly efficient too! I hired them when I received a notice from my Homeowners Insurance Company stating non-renewal due to algae growth on my roof?!? (that apparently established in a matter of months this year according to the drone pictures they took and provided upon request). When I inquired about what I could do to lift the non-renewal they required the roof to be professionally cleaned and that I provide an invoice and photos after the cleaning in order for the underwriters to reconsider.  I did just that thanks to People's 1st!  There was an urgency to my request and they came through...and were extremely reasonably priced too! After calling my insurance company for an underwriter review of the invoice & photos, they lifted the non-renewal in minutes!   Endless thanks to People's 1st who did the work efficiently, effectively, and with such kindness and grace. And many thanks to Angi for connecting me to them!"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in San Luis Obispo, 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.
