Mike and Eli were there first thing in the morning the day after I called and were not only prompt and efficient, they went out of their way to be helpful. I would highly recommend them, and have saved the number in my phone as my go to for all of my plumbing needs. "

"My water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced. I have 4 kids, work a full time job & a part time job, and go to school full time. Mike was able to give me a quote over the phone with just a few photos (we knew it needed to be replaced due to where it was leaking from...this was an expected replacement). While other companies were charging $2500-$3000 (a $700 water heater and an hour or two of work) , Mike offered me a very fair quote and saved me a ton of money AND time. Mike was friendly and to the point with the repair. He had an apprentice Eli with him, who was very kind & playful with my toddler. They were in & out in under 2 hours and everything is now working perfectly. We chatted a bit about other small plumbing issues I've had, that I'll definitely hire them for. Thanks for everything! "

"Per my landscape contractor I requested a quote on patio leveling with a 1" raised pitch toward the back of the yard. After 2 conversations with salesman about this specific request, I put a downpayment and the install crew came out. Before work began I again said the scope was leveling with 1" pitch toward back of the yard. The crew foreman acknowledged. After work was done, I expressed concern that there was no 1" pitch, rather 1/4" pitch. After expressing my concerns to the office, they offered to come bacf out with increased risk of cracking the existing cement. I declined for obvious reasons. The collections agent said page 10 of the contract says this process is only to 'stabilize' the concrete. After BBB complaint, Bill Jirsa said the 1" is only a 'target'. No one discussed this during estimate discussions or installation. Nowhere on their website does it discuss this is only to 'stabilize' or it only guarantees 'target' raising. The water is still pooling on my patio."

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