"Had a flooding basement and Collins sent out Blake and Adam right away and they did a really great job getting the drains unclogged and running a camera through and taking the time to show me the condition of the whole drain pipe. Really professional and lowest price of all the bids I received, definitely recommend!"

"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."

"If you have any plumbing problems, this is THE plumber to call!  I had been trying to change my shower faucet, and well, it broke!
I had to shut off all the water to the house, so we could not use the toilets, wash dishes, you get the picture!  I had called 3 plumbers on the list, all stated that they could not help for a week or so, I was devistated!  Catenzaro was the third plumber on the list, I called and Mr. Catenzaro answered, I explained my problem, he said he could not make as there were many emergencies that he was handling at the moment, but he would call Dave, who was in the area, and have him call me.  Dave called right away, said he could be there later that evening.  He came in and took a look, he was very polite, he told me that I didn't do anything wrong, that whoever would  have tried to remove the valve, it would have broken.  It was late, so Dave fixed what he could at that moment, not having all the equipment he would need, we set up a time for him to come on Monday.  He arrived on time, and did not mind that I watched to learn what he was doing to fix the problem. He explained everything in words I could understand.  Dave had to cut open the wall, and when he was done, he closed up the wall so that I could use the shower until I had time to replace the drywall.  When he was done, everything was clean and where it should be.   Dave called two days later to ask how things were going, if all the leaking had stopped and if there was anything else I needed.  This is a great company, and I have thier number on my fridge!  I personally will not call anyone else for any of my plumbing needs!  I am telling you, THIS is your plumber!

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"One oven doesn't work at all ( my choice, see above), the "working" oven was never calibrated properly so using it is hit or miss. It's time to call American Home Shield to see about replacing the entire unit. I'm waiting to finish other home projects before calling them. I don't know if I'll request Greenway again."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Dakota, 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.
