"We highly recommend Green Arrow Plumbing. Our clogged drain was due to the corroded cast iron drain pipes original from 1957 and Cornelio replaced them in short order. While he was here, he also fixed two toilet flushing problems which two handymen had been unable to do. Cornelio was very knowledgeable, his rates reasonable, and it was a pleasure to work with him."

"We called Plumbtree Plumbing and Rooter to our mothers home to deal with a clogged kitchen drain. Josh arrived on time and put his shoe covers and mask on before entering our mothers home. Josh seemed to have all the equipment he would possibly need as our kitchen drain proved to be rater stubborn but after about a half hour of hard work he announced that the drain would work. Josh cleaned up after the work was done and sanitized all the surfaces that he had touched!! We will definitely be recommending Josh and Plumbtree Plumbing to our friends and family for their plumbing needs!"

"Gustavo from Escamilla plumbing is a pro thru and thru. I gave him a tough job that I wanted to tackle but didn't have the necessary tools or time to tackle. I had him relocate the water heater lines and install a tankless water heater, remove steel pipes and redo drain lines. The kicker for the water lines was access next to a furnace and new gas lines that needed to be run due to insufficient gas supply. During the project we found micky mouse water line taps that needed to be removed and the house water shutoff valve that failed to closed completely. Lots of unexpected work but he gave decent quotes to complete the job. He is quick, doesn't cut corners, and gets the job done. I wholeheartedly recommend him for project a homeowner wouldn't touch or doesn't have time to do."

"Very friendly. He dealt with the drain clog effectively, even though the actual clog was about 20 feet down the drain from the bathtub. He came the same day I contacted him through Angi."

"Felipe is extremely knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They replaced my sewer one-way clean out valve with a new two-way one. They arrived and completed the work the same day they contacted me at a cost better than my other quotes. They voluntarily inspected my whole main sewer line from clean out valve to the street and left the job site exactly as they found it. I couldnâ t be more pleased with Angi or Moor Plumbing."

"We thought we needed just our washer drain unclogged so we called the company that had fixed that before, you guys. Guys came out. Under the house they discovered rusted sewer lines. When we had our plumbing redone years ago, the company who did those did not remove the old lines. Those old lines were up against the sewer lines and were corroding our sewer lines. So we had to replace the sewer lines. A broken line just before the city line was discovered so we had to replace that too. Anyhow, we so appreciated the kind workers who smiled and waved at us. They worked around our water schedule as we have a physically disabled adult son we care for. They let us watch all the things they had to do. I took pictures and the guys were fine with that. My brand new front yard was not ruined by trenchless sewer system that went in. And my yard looks like we never had sewer lines done. It was amazing. Yes, we would recommend you to all."

"They did a number of things. Braced and restrapped water heater and ran copper line for pressure relief to outside. Unclogged master toilet and reseated. Bolted down second toilet. Reconnected clothes dryer vent. Repaired air gap/garbage disposal and drain line under kitchen sink, crawled under house and remove galvanized pipe straps and replaced with nylon pipe clamps. I was a contractor and used to do this work, o an very critical. They did an outstanding job. Went the extra mile several times. I was expecting a bill for a higher amount but they stuck with their estimate. I recommend them highly and would use them again!!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.

DIY plunging or drain cleaning chemicals may help minor clogs, but professional hydro jetting ensures long-term solutions.

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

The cost varies from $150 to $600, depending on the severity of the clog, pipe access, and required equipment.
