"FIVE STAR COMPANY .... First visit from Brooks Plumbing was on May 13th 2015 to run a new gas line so that I could use my gas dryer. They were able to accommodate my schedule and be available to do the job on the day I moved into my new house. They showed up on time and were very professional and did a top-notch job. They accommodated my request to switch location of the washer/dryer because of how doors opened. It was a little bit of a challenge since the dryer set up was where I wanted the washer. I have to say that plumbing is not really all that exciting but the way that the washer/dryer was hooked up and vented looked awesome ... very neat and clean install. Next 2 visits in August 2015, Johnathon installed 2 bathroom faucets, a kitchen faucet, a reverse osmosis water filtration system, a shower bar, and a roman tub faucet with handheld, The prices were good especially for the quality of workmanship. Very professional service, everything that was done was done well I plan to call Brooks Plumbing for any future plumbing needs and I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends."

"Very professional service. Price was as quoted and less than local competitors. Showed up a little late but contacted us to let us know he was running behind first. Took about an hour to complete the work. Would definitely use them again."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

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.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

You’ll likely pay between $300 and $450 to unclog your toilet with Roto-Rooter. However, the price could change depending on if the clog has caused a lot of damage, which your plumbing pro will want to inspect during your service appointment. Keep in mind that you won’t get a quote from Roto-Rooter over the phone. They have to send a pro out for an in-person cost estimate. You can also attempt to snake your own clog for a lot less, and simple drain snakes cost no more than $50.

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
