I called to get Angie's List "Plumbing - Drain Clean...$189 for Drain Cleaning with Camera Inspection". The person on the phone would not verify the price and told me she didn't know much about Angie's List. She indicated that the plumber would have to verify when he got to the job site. Being anxious to get the problem taken care of, I went ahead and scheduled immediately. When the plumber arrived, he took a quick look and announced that the price was actually $600. When I reminded him of the price on Angie's list he started talking about branch lines versus main lines and how he'd have to remove the water closet. I'm not sure if he was saying that it was worth $411.00 extra to R/R the toilet, but it just sounded like a bunch of BS to me, so I sent him on his way. Luckily the plumbing service that I have used in the past, S & B in Sugar Land ,found a crack in their schedule, so they called me right after the Big State guy left. Within an hour of the time that he called, the drain was flowing again. No BS, no need to remove the "water closet", no $600. and no big deal. My total was $180.

I had to call them again a few days later. The excessive water draining continued and the unit would short out blowing hot air. They came out again promptly and supposedly cleared the line again. They said the circuit board needed to be replaced and since it was such an old unit, I would probably need to buy a new AC unit since they might not be able to find one. This unit is not that old. A month earlier, they had added Freon to another unit (one which is quite old), and said at that time, I should replace that unit, but this unit is only 4 years old. They said they would get back to me. They never called or contacted me. I didn't bother to call them back and called another AC company, who promptly came out and found that the primary drain line was still plugged. Once they really opened the drain line and put in a secondary drain for the upper drain pan, the unit has worked perfectly.
It seems the Sun technician only wanted to sell me a new unit. While Sun has in the past provided excellent service, I was totally tuned off by this experience and will not use them again.

Perfect from estimate (flat $180 fee to clear drain, $20 extra if I wanted acid treatment which I did not). Lowest estimate of the 3 plumbers I called. Said they would arrive that afternoon 4-6pm, Omar and Josh arrived at 4, pulled a disgusting blob out of the shower and while they were there...
Cleared the drain and gave us advice for keeping it clear.

First of all I want to make it clear that no work was actually performed. It never got past their attempt to tripple the price. I called to get Angie's List "Plumbing - Drain Clean...$189 for Drain Cleaning with Camera Inspection". The person on the phone would not verify the price and...

"I purchased my first water softener and reverse osmosis water purifier 18 years ago when we first built our house. We loved both! But nothing lasts forever and both needed to be replaced. Luckily, I still had the paperwork from the original installation and I knew who to call. I received the same great service and attention as I had 18 years ago. Both the office staff and installers were extremely professional and courteous. The installers were very good about explaining everything…how the equipment worked and how to maintain it. A big plus for me, is they were very respectful of my property. They left everything clean and organized before leaving."

Please call or click for a free estimate today!
"I can’t say enough about Ryan Stegent Plumbing!!! As with any home service, one expects courtesy and care for one’s property. From the first contact to project completion, Ryan was a consummate professional. Ryan and I were in continuous communication related to the job. He was very responsive to questions and flexible to my schedule. When he got to my house, he had everything he needed to do the job and did exactly what I asked him to do. No negotiating an easier path. I really appreciated that. When all was said and done, Ryan had done a superb, professional job despite the heat in the attic (over 120 deg F). If one can do a professional job under difficult conditions, I’d trust him to do any work on my house. I would hire this guy in a second for any future plumbing job. Oh, it was also a nice touch that he charged what he said he would."

"recently called John Moore Services for what should have been a simple plumbing issue — a clogged bathroom sink connected to my air conditioner drain line. I reached out after seeing their TV commercial promoting clogged sink service for “about $69.” What I quickly discovered is that this advertised rate applies to an extremely narrow and unadvertised category of sinks that almost no real-world situation meets. My straightforward, less-than-20-minute fix was quoted at over $600 to snake. This is an outrageous markup for such a basic job. As a former small business owner, I find these tactics troubling. This is a textbook example of bait-and-switch advertising — grabbing attention with a low price, then upselling with inflated charges once the customer is committed. Practices like this harm consumers and tarnish the reputation of the many honest, hardworking service providers in our community. Shame on you, John Moore Services. My strong recommendation: Do Not Use."

"At first the company seemed super helpful. Eric was always pleasant and seemed to be supporting us. HOWEVER, they told us that they were dealing directly with insurance and that we wouldn't need to worry about anything. Therefore no costs, no options, no explanations of services were ever given to us. When the bill came back higher than insurance would cover they assured us that Joyce was the best in the business and would get it taken care of for us. the gap ended up being $3000 out of our pocket and as far as I can tell, no genuine effort was made to come to an agreement because we would have to pay it anyway. They were not actually working for us. In addition, the whole process was frustrating because appointments were made with us, where we canceled plans and they never showed or called. They removed equipment before it was dry and then covered themselves by putting it back in. At the end of the day our house is dry as is our bank account. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!"

FAQs for drain cleaning projects in Pleak, TX
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.
