"I had the fantastic experience with 911 Service Plumbing and highly recommend them! Their response was almost immediate, which was a huge relief during a stressful plumbing issue. Our technician, Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in identifying the problem. He took the time to explain the situation clearly and provide several repair solutions. As homeowners for 26 years, we've dealt with many contractors, but none have matched the professionalism, flexibility, and dependability of 911 Service Plumbing.

ARS®/Rescue Rooter® Chicago was founded with the goal of providing the highest quality air conditioning, heating, insulation, and plumbing services to our customers. We understand that when it comes to the HVAC and plumbing systems in your home, you need to find a team that is trustworthy, experienced, and able to quickly diagnose and resolve your issues. Our company offers a dependable 24/7 emergency service that is designed to meet your needs, whenever they may arise.

"DO NOT HIRE ARS !!!!!!!!!! Extremely disappointed with ARS. We were misquoted on a major sewer line repair ? their technician gave us a firm price without fully inspecting the line, only to come back later with an additional $7,499 estimate after the job was supposedly finished. We also had a basement flood due to a pipe left open by their tech, which cost us time off work and stress. Despite multiple visits, miscommunications, and promises, we still had unresolved issues weeks later. Even the contract stated 2?10 ft of pipe would be replaced, but only 7 ft was done per the permit. When we raised concerns, ARS gave us the runaround. This was a frustrating, expensive experience, and we feel taken advantage of. We trusted their expertise and got poor service instead. It has been almost a month and they have NOT SOLVED OUR PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!"

Drain clog or blockage clearings FAQs

It may only take five minutes to snake a drain for loose clogs near the tub, toilet, or sink basin. However, clogs near the main line can take hours to resolve, especially if they affect multiple pipes. Plumbers have the skills, experience, and equipment to get the job faster, though you may pay a premium for their help.

Sometimes, using a snake to unclog a drain can cause more damage than intended. Too much force risks scratching the surface and damaging the coating, which could eventually cause cracks to develop. Depending on what’s obstructing the drain, the snake could worsen the problem by jamming the debris tighter and further down the pipe. It’s best to hire a pro with experience tackling a variety of clogged pipes.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent clogged drains is to install snug mesh screens over the drain openings in your sinks, bath, and shower. This tool prevents hair, food particles, and other solid items from entering the drain and forming clogs. A non-corrosive bacteriological drain cleaner is also a smart option to reduce the chances you’ll need to absorb the cost of unclogging a drain.

Hiring a Roto-Rooter professional for drain-clearing services costs between $160 and $450, depending on the complexity of the project. Roto-Rooter costs to snake drains are usually charged on a flat rate basis rather than an hourly fee. These job estimates may include the price of the sewer inspection and the Roto-Rooter sewer line cleaning cost. However, they do not cover the additional cost of repairs or parts replacement.
