"I called Winners Sewer & Drain to clear two clogged bathroom sinks in our tenant's apartment. Jesse called and explained their services and the cost. Jesse coordinated with my tenant to complete the job. After the job was complete, Jesse followed up with pictures of the material that was causing the clog. Very professional, punctual and honest company. I will definitely call them back for any sewer and drain clogs."

Customers say: True professional

"I had an excellent experience with Hakim from Haque Plumbing. I found him through Angi, and he was the first to respond to my service request. He arrived promptly, quickly diagnosed the problem, and clearly explained what needed to be done. One of my plumbing valve handles had broken, leaving me without water. Hakim repaired it efficiently and made sure everything was working properly before he left. He also fixed an issue with my outdoor hose connection that wasn't working correctly. Hakim was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and took pride in his work. It's not easy to find someone who responds quickly and provides such quality service. I highly recommend Haque Plumbing and will definitely call them again for any future plumbing needs."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in South Richmond Hill, 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.
