"I would highly recommend Brookside Plumbing. They did a great job in replacing my shower valve and connecting my home to city water but putting in a separate valve so I still have access to my well when needed."

"I recently hired Hunter with Foothills Plumbing and Construction to remodel my bathroom, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The project involved relocating plumbing and installing brand-new fixtures, and their expertise was evident every step of the way. From the start, they were incredibly prompt, showing up exactly when they said they would and staying on schedule throughout the job. They took the time to explain the process clearly, helping me understand what was involved with moving pipes and ensuring everything would be installed safely and efficiently. Their knowledge truly set them apart. They offered valuable suggestions to improve the layout of the space, and the finished bathroom is both functional and beautiful. Every detail, from the pipework to the fixtures, was done with precision and care. The team was professional, courteous, and cleaned up thoroughly after each day. I highly recommend Hunter with Foothills Plumbing and Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled plumber for a major project. I’ll definitely call them again for future plumbing needs!"

"I have never worked with more intelligent, professional, and kind experts. He communicated beautifully and always answered questions with knowledge and ease. I tried for 4 years to find a plumber that would fix a horrible problem that a terrible contractor created and this was the first plumber that knew exactly what to do. I am so grateful and impressed. I trust them and will continue to call on only them for plumbing. Thank you!!!"

On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.
Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.
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.
