"Perfect! I called Western Rooter the AM my disposal went out. They were at the house the same day, at the time they stated they would arrive. The work was done efficiently and professionally and completed within an hour. I have called on Western Rooter for many years for various plumbing needs (clogged drains, replace water-heater, replace main water line, etc.) and have always had great, timely service at reasonable $$$."

"The line connecting my washing machine and kitchen to the main line was blocked; with water back up in the sink and washing machine. After an unsuccessful attempt to snake the line from the outside access, it was suggested by another that the clog couldnâ t be cleared, pipe was â done,â and the solution was to reroute the pipe for about 12 K! I called GMC, hopeful they could clear the line. Geremi responded immediately, quoted a reasonable price to unclog the line, was friendly and knowledgeable, and gave it his all until the line was clear!! His camera showed water running through the line after it was cleared, and his recommendation was simply annual snaking for $75. I was literally almost resigned to a huge 12 K problem and canâ t express how grateful I am that Geremi didnâ t give up and succeeded at unclogging this drain, and that I was able to see with his camera that the pipe was not, in fact, done. There were no added charges for the extra time or new snake blades it took to cut through this clog and no expensive and unnecessary recommendations. I now have a trusted plumber for life."

"Samuel is great - he’s done work at our condo a few times and I will absolutely hire him again and recommend him to others. He’s always respectful of our home, always helps me understand all of the options to solve the problem, and never tries to take advantage of the fact I know absolutely nothing about plumbing. For ex: He came to our house last week and charged me less than he had quoted me because the work was easier than expected."

"I have used Camarillo Rooter in my business and at my own home. Lonnie Jr & his team have done everything from hydro blast a sewer line, sewer lateral inspections & replace a sewer line to cleaning clogged drains, replacing water heaters and fixing leaky toilets. Lonnie Jr is honest, quick to respond and explains the situation. He is not an alarmist and provides options so you can decide what is best for your budget and situation. I have referred him with confidence and will continue to do so."

"Very professional. Free estimate. Easy scheduling. A little pricey for what was done (installing a user-supplied sink and faucet, and snaking a drain), but spent the time to do it well."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

While technically possible, it is unlikely that a clogged toilet will fix itself. Clogs caused by water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water, allowing flow to resume. However, this can take time, and any clogs from solid objects require manual removal. In most scenarios, especially if you don't have another bathroom, it is best to fix the clog yourself or call a plumber.

With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they’re usually U-shaped).

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.

On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.

Your clothes—and your washing machine—will send you a few signals if you’re overdue for cleaning your washing machine filter. If you notice a buildup of detergent residue on your clothes, your clothes don’t dry quickly or at all, or you’re noticing lint in the machine, it’s time to clean the filter.
