Published national guides put standard plumbing work at $75 to $150 per hour plus a trip or service fee of $50 to $150, with emergency and after hours work at 1.5 to 3 times the standard rate. By the job: drain snaking runs $100 to $275 for a single drain and $200 to $500 for a main line, a sewer camera inspection $125 to $500, leak detection $150 to $600, and water heater replacement $1,200 to $3,500 installed for a tank unit. A written price for the named job, after diagnosis, is the number to compare, not an hourly guess by phone.
