What Is the Cost of Clearing a Clog in a Sink, Bathtub, Toilet, or Garbage Disposal?

Plumbing costs can vary a lot, even if the symptoms are similar. The underlying issues that you start observing when using your plumbing system might be minor or might take a lot more effort to solve. This is why it’s hard to know exactly how much a plumbing repair will cost, but we can give you an idea.

Clogged drains are one of the most common problems people call the plumber for, and the cost may vary depending on what part of your plumbing system is affected. Here are some of the most common issues with clogged drains, and how much it will cost to repair them.

Clearing a Clog in a Sink

The cost of clearing a clogged sink depends on the method that the plumber uses. The cheapest will be for them to use a drain snake, which will cost around $100, or even less, depending on the average in your area. Using an electric snake will cost between $150 and $400. Keep in mind, though, that this method should not be used for older pipe systems.

If there’s a stubborn clog, the plumber might need to use a high-pressure water hose. The cost of the repair will be between $300 and $500. The worst-case scenario is for the pipe to be dismantled and cleaned separately, which can lead to $800 repairs.

Clearing a Clog in a Bathtub

If you’re dealing with a clogged bathtub, the costs will be similar to those of a clogged sink. However, if the plumber needs to access the pipes, the cost of the repairs can go up, as they might need to break into the wall or floor.

Clearing a Toilet

Clearing a toilet clog is mostly a minor repair, but it might get expensive if you’re calling the plumber on an emergency intervention, and if you’re unlucky enough to have this happen during the weekend, a holiday, or in the middle of the night.

The cost will also vary depending on the issue. If the plumber needs to only use a snake, the repair will only be $100-$150. But if they need to disassemble and reassemble the fixture or repair an underlying issue, it can cost a few hundred dollars.

Clearing a Garbage Disposal

Again, depending on the cause of the drain clogging, the repair will be minor or not. If the plumber easily dislodges the clog, you will pay around $100. If they identify a defective garbage disposal unit, you might need to replace it, and that can lead to repairs of a few hundred dollars.
