"we had a problem in our downstairs bathroom. Rooter Man Plumbing & Drain was able to respond on the same day, within about two hours from my "Quote Request." Rooter Man cleared my clog and cleaned out the main pipes in less than an hour. A special commendation to Dave for his service and his expertise. He was also able to suggest some other options for a separate project I was considering. Also, Tammy was the most knowledgeable and professional "voice on the phone" I have heard in decades. She was clear and concise in her pitch and scheduling of a service. I haven't had that kind of service since I retired from the military twenty-five years ago."

"Mike and Brian came to the house exactly when they said they would. The main sewer drain was clogged. The assessment of the issue and more importantly the advise was so helpful and honest. We would highly recommend and plan to utilize their service in the future!"

"Richard and Jonathan were extremely professional, friendly and helped us when we truly needed it. After being stood up for over 3 weeks by 3 different â reliableâ drain cleaning team - they called immediately after the initial call and weâ re onsite sooner than anticipated. During the service they were friendly, understanding and even gave us tips on how to prevent our clog in the future! They were also SO BETTER PRICED than any of the local competition! Couldnâ t say enough good things about them! Thank you again Richard and Jonathan! Iâ ll be sure to tell others about your incredible service! -Larry and Joy"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Coke and other sodas do clean a clogged drain, so this is one of those urban myths that has some truth behind it. Coke and similar sodas are caustic and will provide some cleaning power to your drains. However, the power of soda pales in comparison to dedicated cleaners or even baking soda.

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain. 

Drain clearing removes debris and clogs from drain pipes enough to allow water to drain properly. On the other hand, drain cleaning removes all of the material from the pipe so that water flows unrestricted, which is a longer-term solution. Your plumbing pro will be able to recommend the right service depending on the clog size, frequency of issues, and surrounding pipework.

If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.

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