Plumbing Pricing FAQ

1How much does it cost to unclog a drain?
Simple drain snaking costs $100–$350. Hydro jetting for severe blockages runs $300–$800. A camera inspection ($100–$500) is worthwhile if the problem recurs, as it reveals root intrusion, pipe damage, or bellied sections.
2Tank or tankless water heater — which is cheaper?
Tank heaters cost $800–$2,200 installed, while tankless units run $2,000–$5,500. Tankless models save $100–$150/year on energy bills and last 20+ years vs. 10–12 for tanks, but upfront costs are significantly higher.
3How long does a whole-house repipe take?
PEX repiping takes 2–4 days for a typical home; copper takes 3–5 days. PEX is faster and less expensive ($2,500–$9,000 vs. $4,000–$15,000 for copper) and is the preferred material for most residential work today.
4Should I repair or replace my sewer line?
A spot repair ($1,000–$5,000) works if damage is localized. If your line has multiple failing sections or is made of Orangeburg/clay pipe, full replacement ($3,000–$12,000) is more cost-effective long-term. Trenchless methods minimize yard disruption.
5Do plumbers charge by the hour or by the job?
Most plumbers quote flat rates for defined tasks like drain cleaning or fixture installs. Larger or exploratory jobs (leaks, repiping) are often time-and-materials. Always get a written estimate before work begins.
6When is a plumbing issue an emergency?
Burst pipes, sewage backups, no hot water in winter, and gas-line leaks qualify as emergencies. Expect a 1.5× surcharge for after-hours or weekend calls. Shut off the water main and call immediately to limit damage.
