"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."

"I got a call within 30 minutes of submitting my information online for a sewer line blockage. They first checked the manhole in front of my house and determined that the city line was also blocked with tree roots. They called the city and made sure their line was cleared before working on mine. Friendly and knowledgable. I will probably call them again when I need to."

"I had an urgent waste pipe clog. The office was able to send their tech Bill to me on short notice. He not only cleaned the clog, but helped me understand how to avoid issues in the future. When a second issue popped up a few days later, they took care of it. The office was prompt and helpful, calling a few days later to make sure everything was right. Best experience I've ever had with a plumbing company."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500

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.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

Roto-Rooter does not charge by the hour, so the quote you get after your in-person consultation should cover the whole project. This includes the time it takes a technician to get to your house and the time it takes to complete the job. For context, a plumber will charge anywhere from $45 to $200 per hour, but you may also pay a service fee or flat fee.
