"This company has lost my business. The plumbers were very professional and provided excellent service. I give them an A. However, the office staff gets a solid D, leaning toward an F. I took us 4 months to finally get a billing issue straightened out. The office staff told us they would bill the insurance company direct, but they never did. I made several calls over a few months (because they kept sending bills to me), and each time they told me to ignore the bill and they would send it to the insurance. I would have happily paid the bill and sent it to the insurance if Hill would have asked (I even offered). Finally, Hill sent me a collection notice; that made no sense since they agreed to bill the insurance. I finally paid the bill; it then took multiple phone calls and then a visit to get the paid receipt. When I went to pickup the receipt, the office staff was polite, but unconcerned about my trouble; the billing staff seemed affronted that I would offer criticism. I felt I was overly polite and offered constructive criticism on how they could avoid this in the future. I made it clear that I was happy with the plumbing work and would like to continue to patronize them, but I received no apology for the time I had to take to deal with this or any acknowledgement that that could have done better. Hill has lost my business. There are too many options in the service industry to do business with a average company anymore.

"Mike Hall dis a great job with my semi annual furnace/ac cleaning. He checked both inside and outside to make sure the systems and drains were in working order. He placed the order for the UV Blub and I got the call for serving appointment before he was out of the driveway. Thanks Swift. Mike is a good representative of your company."

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.
