John tacked my emergency on to an already work-filled Sunday. I called in the afternoon and he was able to come after a couple of other jobs. He was fast, clearly experienced, professional, reasonably priced. I'd absolutely hire him again for any plumbing needs. The job involved a pinhole...

Called DM Contracting & Restoration, Inc. for an estimate for extensive concrete repair work on my property. I spoke to Marie who set up the date and time for Danny, the owner, to come and look at the job. The next day Marie emailed me a full written estimate. There were 2 items not included...

Not able to do the complete drain job. Power failure in area was not their fault but they said only the service fee would be forgiven. Bill was over $400 since paying for 2 plumbers. They needed to protect the carpet and we allowed them to use protective cover. They should have been prepared...

He started with the obvious (cracked foundation) and quickly worked through a couple of other possibilities (sewer, AC) to solve the problem. I was amazed and very pleased. I think they have good knowledge about how homes are put together and how they work. Will definitely call them again!

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Effort, PA
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
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.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
