[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A plumber yesterday told me they charge $420 per hour.  I was shocked inflation drove plumbing service to $420 per hour!  Now how many college majors offer $420 per hour, even ten years post-graduation?   And the icing on the cake is AI will not replace residential plumbing maintenance jobs![/quote]

Earlier this week, I had a plumber snake a clogged kitchen sink drain - he charged $350 for 35 minutes of effort! [/quote]

I spent $1100 today for 5 hours of work bc the main drain was backed up and the drain needed to be snaked 70 feet.  Ugh- but that man worked his butt off.  [/quote]

You got ripped off. [/quote]

No, ~$200/hour for a plumber with a large company is typical.  Also, it's business where you pay for them from the time they leave the previous job until they leave your house.  The 45 mins they spend driving between a job to get to you is paid for by you.  So in a HCOL area, $200/hour is a typical price.  
Go for a small business and you might get $150/hr (less overhead, 1 person managing the office not 15 in a large company means less overhead)[/quote]
