"I hired Andrew Browning to replace my sewer lateral. He brought his equipment in threw my neighbors yard after he was specifically told that was not my yard and he couldn't bring his equipment in that way but when I got home from work I found out he did anyway. He also stopped short of the sewer main and tied into the old sewer pipe and when I said something to him he argued with me telling me that's the way they do it and that the pipe from there was ok and clean and that he said he would go up to the main and thats up to the main. After arguing with him and telling him that's not acceptable he finally dug up the rest and tied into the main as he was hired to do. Then after back filling the trench he took the excess rock and dirty fill and spreaded over my yard instead of hauling it away and then argued with me that it's not his fault that there was alot of rock he had to dig threw to install the new pipe. Then he told me if I paid to have new dirt brought in he would spread over the rock and debris he spreaded all over my yard. He finally brought some dirt in himself that is mainly mud and clay and rock I can barely get any grass to grow in it and my yard is in worst shape now than it was before he started. Also were he tied into the cast iron pipe coming out of the house was right next to my gutter downspout drain pipe that after he was done I realized it was now missing. When I asked him about it he told me it was collapsed so he did away with it and just covered it up and did not say anything about and giving me the ability to replace it. I had to dig up everything he just did in order to install new drain pipe. He is the most unprofessional contractor I've ever dealt with and the quality of his work is terrible. I will not ever refer him or use him again. Totally unsatisfied with my yard and the experience in dealing with him."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in East Carondelet, 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.
