My bathroom sink drain had been slow for all of the 23 years I lived in my home, but it just kept getting worse, despite all of the baking soda & vinegar, enzymes and chemicals I put down it to temporarily help it. I actually have rarely needed a plumber, so I did not know where to turn. I was hesitant at first to call Roto-Rooter, but the experience was a good one. I scheduled a Monday AM visit on a Sunday evening. The dispatcher called me about 40 minutes before the plumber arrived, and he arrived when the dispatcher said he would. I had the connection pipes off of my sink already, since I had tried to use a manual "snake" on it prior to that. It took the plumber about 20 minutes to do the work. Before he did the work, he told me that the charge would be $309 for routing a drain, and did I want to proceed. I said "yes" and told him that I had a coupon for $50, and he said that was fine. He explained to me how my pipes turned in my bathroom and the places where the sludge builds up. So, the whole thing cost me $259 ($283.61 with tax) and although it was not cheap, they did a good job and I am pleased with the results. The sink is draining like a champ now, the first time in 23 years......
