"Paul and Howie from St. Paul Pipeworks did a great job. When doing some plumbing repairs myself on our 1927 house, ran into an issue above my pay grade. St. Paul Pipeworks was able to be out within a week, cost $1100 less than one of the bigger outfits in town, and worked quickly when here. They were also happy to work with me on a quote that just addressed the issue I couldn't handle on my own. Would definitely hire again."
"Major sewer line backup while visiting my sister in Minneapolis. Had called a "rooter" service that was unable to fix the problem. They said it needed to be lined. Luckily, I discovered the Dig Free team. They came out right away, gave me a quote (which was fabulous), and was able to start right away! I was incredibly impressed and relieved. Their service and work was great and everything was cleaned up too. I would definitely recommend Dig Free to anyone!! Great job!!"
"As a person in the plumbing trades both new construction and service work I have come to appreciate the skills of someone who does a craft full time and is encouraged to develop skills to make it “their” full time occupation and career. Drain cleaning is part of maintaining a plumbing system. It is a craft different than installing and repairing plumbing but it is just as important to do it correctly. The other values in McDonough’s services are several having the equipment and personnel trained and available is paramount to this no matter how big a job has gotten they have never stopped until it was completed! The other feature that is not fully understood by many is that it is always best to use someone that has only one purpose in mind and that is to get the drain cleaned and inspected and has no reason to up sell you on some repairs or replacement that you don’t need. That why we use them as a plumbing company and recommend them to our valued clients. Great company that invests in training, retaining and having the equipment that their service people need to be efficient, productive and provide the services that they are being relied on to provide."
"I was in need of quick and professional service. I called Cutting Edge Sewer and spoke with Joe. He was prompt knowledgeable, very professional and was able to have a technician come out to my home the same day. My floor drain was cleared, and my main line was also cleared solving the problem. I was also given a loyalty discount for being a repeat customer and a warranty. I am beyond happy with this company and will continue to use them for my home needs. Great company to work with and trust!"
"Professional, courteous, responsive. Offered alternative repair options for light fixture replacement. Very clean--changed shoes in house, put down drop cloth, cleaned up when finished, and removed old fixture to my trash. Fast service and less expensive than a second quote. Will use Randy's Electric again."
"Plumber arrived in no time and was friendly, explained what he needed to do, and gave us advice to keep the drain flowing. Will definitely recommend him for his work and will use him again in the future."
"The impetus for this job was a slow drip from the laundry tub faucet. We decided as long as we were at it we should replace the faucet (we have been unable to turn the water on or off for years due to corrosion) and the laundry tub as well as the clothes washer connections and hoses. All of these were very old and inadequate so a little preventive and deferred maintenance was in order. Our call was answered immediately by a knowledgeable person who explained the pricing policies and made an appointment for a service call that same day. Jon Scheumann showed up a few minutes early after calling to confirm his arrival. He explained options and provided an estimate and completed the work that afternoon. The plumbing work and fixtures are all top quality. Jon nicked the wall in the stairway carrying the new laundry tub down to the basement. He apologized and arranged to have a painter come patch it up at his expense. That work was done the next day and also is top quality. We will not hesitate to call American Eagle Plumbing again the next time we need a plumber."
If you don’t have a sewer cleanout, clearing out clogs can be extremely difficult. You would need to try to clear the clog from sink drains, but it can be harder to reach the clog all the way in the drain line. A sewer cleanout makes it much faster and easier for pros to clear clogs from your main sewer line.
Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.
Costs vary by severity and access requirements. Typical pricing ranges from $100 to $350, increasing with complexity or for emergency services.
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.
The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.
