Received a quote of $400 to unclog basement drain & $200 to camera the line. Was told it would take at least 2 hours. It took the plumber only 20 minutes from arriving to find the cause of the clog - a rubber drain plug had been inserted into the drain (plumber told me it was likely put in by the listing agents plumber). Then the camera was put in the pipe & got stuck. I was told I have to pay $115 an hour until it comes unstuck. I complained I didnt have the money to pay for that, plumber made a call & luckily it became unstuck shortly thereafter. Plumber was only able to camera to the basement wall due to a shifted pipe, was unable to camera out to the street to check the sewer lateral. Plumber told me that if I wanted, he could then & there saw out part of the basement floor & replace the shifted pipe for about $2700 additional & then another attempt to camera out the sewer lateral could be made. However, I was not the owner of the property yet, just someone with an offer on the place doing an inspection, not willing to sink $3300 on a plumbing inspection! All of this occurred in less than an hour. Was told I wouldnt have to pay more than the $600 quoted. I dont have prior experience with plumbers, but $600 to remove a rubber plug & camera the line for 20 feet, less than an hours work seems pretty steep. Would have thought the line would be cleaned before the camera was put in there, especially with the fee charged if it gets stuck! On the up side, they did come out to do the service within a day of my request, did provide a written quote on the additional work needed to replace the shifted pipe & I didnt have to pay more than the quoted $600.

We also specialize in water damage restoration & water cleanup services. We can fix and clean up your flooded basement too. Roto-Rooter is a 24-hour plumber near you and provides emergency service.
"The Roto-Rooter plumber was great and explained everything clearly. He fixed the issue and left everything neat and clean. The reason for the 4 star is they were supposed to call 30 mins before arrival. They showed up without calling and I had to rush home from work. The 4 stars is also due to sticker shock (no fault of the plumber). Original quote was $720 for a clogged drain. They knocked it down to $500 with only a 30 day warranty rather than 6 month. He found the clog at 35’ (10’ beyond my 25’ snake) in less than 20 mins. I now know I can get a 125’ power snake with all the different pipe size attachments for $300. I do appreciate the promptness of Roto Rooter, ease of scheduling, and fixing the issue right away, but I will invest in my own 100’ snake before spending $500 for 20 mins of labor (not including their travel). Thanks Roto Rooter for jumping on this and fixing the issue in less than 24 hours after contacting you."

French Drains questions, answered by experts
This scenario is unlikely but technically possible. Clogs that result from water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water and allow the water and waste to flow freely once again. A more likely scenario is that you’ll have to learn how to unclog a toilet or call a plumber.
Conventional drain cleaners, like you might buy at the grocery store, use bleach (sodium hydroxide) as the main ingredient. On the contrary, biodegradable drain cleaners use gentler ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water to clear out drains.
Bleach is extremely corrosive and releases harmful gasses—hence the need for wearing safety protections like rubber gloves, eye goggles, face masks, and long sleeves and properly ventilating the room while using bleach. Biodegradable cleaners, however, don’t use bleach. Therefore they are safer to use, especially if you have a house full of children.
It is not advisable to use drain cleaner in a washing machine. Drain cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can damage the internal components of your washer, including rubber seals, hoses, and even the drum. These chemicals can also react with any residual detergent or fabric softener, potentially leading to noxious fumes. If your washing machine is experiencing drainage issues, it's best to address the problem directly by inspecting and cleaning the lint filter, checking for clogs in the drain hose, or seeking professional repair services. Using drain cleaner in a washing machine is a risky solution that can cause more harm than good.
You can often unclog a garbage disposal in less than 10 minutes, though sometimes you might need longer if you’re unsure what’s causing the clog. For minor clogs, consider plunging the drain, flushing the drain with baking soda and vinegar, or using an Allen wrench to free the clog. If the clog is more severe, contact a local plumber.
If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.
