"The plumber was very nice. The job, while not technically involved, was just "pain in the butt" hard. I'm glad the plumber was not easily deterred, because to my relief, he stuck with it until he finally fixed the issue. I was kinda surprised. If he wants it...I have more work for him!"

"Stop searching and hire The Tim’s. 100/5 stars. If you need someone who is honest, does great work, is extremely knowledgeable, goes above and beyond AND has fair pricing, you found them. We are SO lucky we found them. Our situation sucked but it could have been way worse (and frankly, 5x the cost). They communicated at every stage of the project, explained what was going on and what to expect and prepare for. They worked in single digit weather, early mornings/weekend/late nights, did everything possible to limit the cost, and really went the extra mile to complete the job although they had to move their schedule around. We had a leak in a pipe in the yard. It became urgent when we started to get water in the basement. They moved their schedule around, got the permits, rented the equipment, etc in the matter of about a day. Most people would have told us “oh well you’ll have to wait”, but the Tims CARE and that’s the difference."

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