Robert Johnson has a reputation for being one of the most reliable plumbers in the Hillsborough County area. Robert specializes in water heater installations, service calls, boiler installations, and water softener/filtration system installations. Please do not hesitate to reach out and schedule an appointment today.

"Highly recommend Robert! He made it so easy to choose his services. First, he explained the pros and cons of different water heater types, and then helped us to make an educated decision on what was best for our needs, which was NOT the most expensive option. Not only was his bid the most reasonable, but he was very accommodating by being available the very next morning. He arrived on time, did his work, cleaned up his work area when completed, showed us how unit worked, what to watch for common problems, how to perform maintenance, and then explained where to go for warranty registration online. Definitely shows his decades of experience doing water heater installations."

"He was very knowledgeable about the job situation and gave me several choices of what I could do. We chose the option with the balloon to blow the blockage away, and it worked. The grinder sump pump kicked in and moved the water to the street. Then he closed everything up and told me I could get another balloon like the one he used and do the same thing myself in the future."

FAQs for drain cleaning projects in Chattanooga, TN

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.

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.
