"We hired Fantastic Rooter to re-pipe my mother-in-law's house. They did a fantastic job - even the city inspector was praising Gerardo and his crew for their work. She also needed a new water heater and sink, and those were reasonable priced. The guy that replaced the sheetrock did a great job. You can't even tell the walls were ever cut into, he made them so smooth again. And they cleaned up well, too. I highly recommend them!"

"My husband and I tried to locate the source of a foul smell coming from the sink in a guest bathroom on a Saturday morning and got ourselves in trouble and ended up with a leak. We were in a panic, as we had guests arriving Monday morning. We contacted Alvco Plumbing on the recommendation from our cousin who had given us their ad in the Villages newsletter. Tim, Jr. told us he could come by early Monday morning and assess our situation. He graciously called us later on Saturday afternoon and said he could swing by and help us out. He was AMAZING and did a thorough assessment of our plumbing issue, fixed our mistake and saved us a lot of headache. Throughout the process, he explained everything, gave us options, respected our home, was extremely clean, and thoroughly cleaned the work area when done. We are grateful to now have Alvco Plumbing listed in our contact list as our plumber and are working to have them to return to do additional work. There is a peace of mind when you can trust and rely on a contractor. Believe me - we just had a different plumber in our home two weeks prior who never returned to finish the job they started (unfortunately, we had already paid him for the job - lesson learned!)"

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

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.

No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

Toilet paper is the only material that you should flush down toilets. Other items like wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and medications should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing these items can lead to plumbing issues and damage to sewage systems. Grease and cooking oils should also be avoided as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages. Proper disposal helps prevent clogs and ensures the efficient operation of wastewater treatment systems while protecting the environment.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.
