Best Clogged Drain Pros in Augusta

#1Conditional Hire

Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service

4.7Reviewed for clogged drain

I paid high dollar service and got low dollar work. I won't use them again. I paid them to install new fixtures and it isn't flush or even sturdy.

4.7Reviewed for clogged drain

The owner, Mr Coleman came himself in our time of need. Not only fixed our issue, he double checked the other toilets too. He went above and beyond for us.

#3Conditional Hire

4.5Reviewed for clogged drain

I had a scheduled appointment this morning. When they never showed, I called and was informed 'the boss pulled me off your job and scheduled me to go to another job' yet I received no phone call informing me they weren't coming.

Common Clogged Drain Scenarios

Stop Using the Drain

Running more water into a clogged drain can cause overflow. Stop all water use in the affected area until the clog is cleared.

Try a Plunger First

A cup plunger (not a flange plunger) works for sinks. Create a seal and plunge firmly 10-15 times. If it doesn't clear in 3 attempts, call a pro.

Skip the Chemical Drain Cleaners

Chemical drain cleaners (Drano, Liquid-Plumr) can corrode pipes and are hazardous. A plumber's snake or hydro-jet is safer and more effective.

Check Other Drains

If multiple drains are slow or backing up, the clog is in the main sewer line — not a single fixture. This is more urgent and needs professional attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I call a plumber for a clogged drain?
Call a plumber if: the plunger doesn't work after 3 attempts, multiple drains are slow at once, water is backing up (not just slow), or you've had recurring clogs in the same drain. Most drain cleaning pros in Augusta can come same-day.
What causes clogged drains?
Common causes: hair and soap in bathroom drains, grease and food in kitchen drains, tree roots in main sewer lines, and mineral buildup in older pipes. In Augusta homes with mature trees, root intrusion is a frequent cause of main line clogs.
How much does it cost to fix a clogged drain in Augusta?
Drain unclogging in Augusta costs $150-$450 depending on location and severity. Kitchen and bathroom drain clogs are on the lower end. Main sewer line clogs requiring camera inspection and hydro-jetting cost $350-$900.
Can a clogged drain damage my home?
Yes — a clogged drain that causes backup can lead to water damage, mold growth, and sewage contamination. A main sewer line backup in your Augusta home is a health hazard. Don't delay getting it cleared.
