Sometimes plumbers charge by the hour. Plumbers typically have a minimum hour requirement, even if it's a quick job. Plumbers who charge by the hour double or even triple their fee if they have to come out after business hours. However, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast Georgia offers flat-rate fees for the service itself. We do not charge overtime rates. Thus, prices don’t vary even if it takes longer than expected.
For example, fixing a clog in a bathroom sink could take less than an hour. Fixing a clog in the main sewer line could take most of a day and might require sewer line repair. When main sewer lines are clogged, the cost of drain cleaning significantly increases. You will need to repair or replace the damaged sewer line, which is why it can be more expensive.
Typically, drain cleaning costs can range between $109 to $575. The price variance depends on the plumber you hire, the time of day you need it fixed, and the severity of the clog.
