Customers say: Quality work

"Had a really great experience with this company. Hired them twice for two separate problems we had and they did a great both times. They were timely, reliable and produced high quality work. They showed up and finished when they said they they would, they cleaned up well after they left and surpassed our expectation on the quality of the job. One of the times we needed a well dug out and installed, it looks great. Best of all it has withstood all of this on-going rain we have and I haven't had any problems since their work. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to others. I have them saved in my phone."

"Repairman was very polite and professional. He looked at what he could but said he couldn’t really give a complete inspection because it was dry out and sump pump wasn’t running. Probably true but didn’t really feel like a complete inspection."

Customers say: Quick response

"Had a great experience all around with Ray's plumbing, and his performance on this project from the first call through to completion was a 10/10. I highly recommend Ray's Plumbing. I had never worked with Ray before. I had a repair project on a gas line running from furnace and water heater in basement that required attention. Ray was responsive, reasonable, competent, and accommodating. His quote was less than other quotes, and he performed the work efficiently and worked within our timeline and on schedule. He made a very positive impression. Based on my experience on this project, Ray definitely deserves consideration for whatever project you are considering."

"Vasyl was contracted through Angi?s List for a toilet installation for 12/9. He calls me the day before to see if he could do the installation that day, unfortunately I was not available. He says no worries and he?ll be there for the scheduled appointment on 12/9. The next day he calls and says he?s on a project and will not be able to make the appointment and asked if either the next day or Friday would work. I told him whichever one works best I?m good. He tells me he?ll call me the next day. I never received a phone call from him so I called him back to see if Friday was the better option. He tells me someone will be there around noon on Friday. Friday around 1 pm I call Vasyl and he tells me his guy is on his way to Lowe?s to pick up the toilet and should be there in an hour. At 2:45 pm I call Vasyl to check in and see what the status is with my installation. It goes straight to voicemail and he never calls me back. "

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Elk Grove Village, 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.
