"We had some trouble communicating, but once he got started on the project, he worked his head off. HE worked 10 hours one and about 5 or 6 hours the next. He did the job thoroughly and professionally. He did a very good job and I am pleased."

"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."

"Exceptional service. On time, polite, respectful, and upfront in regards to pricing. Main line completely clogged with year’s of built up tree roots. When the job was completed, a camera was used to show the whole 100 plus feet of line was clean of roots and debris. Highly recommend ALLN1 Plumbing."

"He and his coworker came for an estimate and were ready to get started as soon as I said yes to the estimate (even though it was late in the day). Their estimate was nice because it included not only some trouble shooting, drying,and clean up. I had another estimate where they said they could do clean up but I would need someone else to put the carpets and get the walls back, etc. I liked that they could do everything all together. They were such hard workers-evenings, weekends,etc. They were very pleasant and professional. Always put on those little booties to protect your home from outside dirt!  You could tell this is a family owned and operated business and they are committed to making it work. The owner was there each time and he answered questions well and I felt he was very honest and trustworthy. He also made comments on some things we could do to help prevent this from happening in the future. The work they did was very thorough. Drying process took a few days and they came regularly to check on the work.  The carpet stains came out and were dried. The walls were cleaned and put back in their original place. Would definitely recommend them!

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Cottage Hills, 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.
