I made an appt for a special $77 to snake my clogged kitchen drain. The Serviceman immediately said that wouldn't work and I should schedule a hydro-jet for $1300. I asked him to try the snake first. He did and it worked. However, I did believe the serviceman was probably right that I should get the hydro-jet soon. So I called one other highly recommended plumber and he did the work for $550 the next day.
