"When the service guy arrived he asked what our problem was and showed up the price chart.  He was not pushing any other service and gave us all the details on why the drain was clogging.  He wore lilttle booties to protect our floor and put a rug down while he worked.  Used the rotor to unclog the sink and he even double checked that the drain was cleared.  Also came with a warranty if the same drain should clog again.

"I called the answering service on a Friday night and the lady told me that they would have someone at my house within 30 minutes. She also told me that there wasn't any up charge for weekends. The tech was at my house within 25 minutes and was very polite and friendly. He then figured out where the clog was and within 30 minutes he had our drains cleared and water flowing freely again. He did a great clean up job and the price I believe to be very fair for coming out on a Friday night without any appointment. I will not hesitate to call these guys again for any drain problem."

"They proved themselves absolutely excellent under the worst of circumstances, and honest as the day is long. We had a sewer backup in the basement and they came to clear the line. They gave us quotes for immediate and long term solutions. We chose both. Everything turned out to be much more difficult than they had imagined. The sewer layout was entirely different than would normally be expected. It caused problems with their equipment. Worse, it meant that the long term solution of installing an access point for boring was vastly more difficult than they had thought. NONETHELESS THEY STOOD BY THEIR ORIGINAL ESTIMATE. They did not charge us a dime extra! They ended up doing probably ten times they work they had expected for no more money. They had to dig an eight-foot deep hole entirely by hand! But they remained pleasant and friendly throughout, unwaveringly calm. Can not recommend them enough."

"The drain was cleared to satisfaction, but they priced additional services at an excessively high price, $4,000 to remove and replace cast iron pipes with PVC pipes, $700 to $600 to replace one toilet. My wife and I replaced 2 for less than $3 by ourselves. We are 68 and 57. All the staff were polite and friendly."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Auburn, IL

Snaking a simple clog near a tub, toilet, or sink often takes about five minutes. Deeper blockages along the main line can stretch the job to a few hours because the pro must feed extra cable and may need a camera to confirm the pipe is clear. Either way, specialized tools help pros work quickly and keep your drains running for the long haul.

Aggressive snaking can scratch pipes, push debris deeper, or even crack older lines. That risk is low with an experienced plumber who matches the cable size to the pipe and eases the snake through bends instead of forcing it. If you’re unsure of your technique—or your pipes are already fragile—calling a licensed pro is the safest, and often cheapest, move.

Start with simple barriers: mesh screens on every tub, shower, and sink keep hair, food bits, and jewelry out of the pipes. Skip harsh chemicals; a monthly flush with hot (not boiling) water clears light buildup without damaging plastic lines. Finally, practice smart disposal—no grease, wipes, or kitty litter down the drain—and schedule routine cleanings if you have older plumbing.

Roto‑Rooter typically charges a flat $160 to $450 for standard snaking, which may include a quick sewer inspection and basic clean‑out. Exact pricing depends on the clog’s location and complexity. Repairs or part replacements fall outside that flat fee, so ask for a line‑item estimate if your tech spots broken pipe sections or recommends additional work.

Most liquid cleaners rely on caustic chemicals that eat through hair and grime—but they also erode metal and even some plastics over time. Repeated use strips protective pipe coatings and can leave you with leaks or premature failures. If hot water or a plunger doesn’t help, call a plumber for mechanical removal instead of pouring more chemicals down the line.
