"Tim is professional and knowledgeable. Opened up the sewer line and showed me what was causing the blockage. Ran the camera line through the pipe and showed me how much was cleared and gave me the option to leave it like it is, or continue and clear everything out. I will definitely use him again next spring to maintain the line"

Yes, I would highly recommend DLA Sewer & Drain to homeowners and businesses. Thank you!"

"Several were recommended by Home Advisor, but Chicago Sewer Experts were the only ones available the same day. The rep was prompt, took care of my clogged drain and offered very good advise on preventing future clogs. Hope I don't have this problem again, but if I do I will call Chicago Sewer again."

"I had a great experience working with Ben, who came to replace a faulty shower cartridge. He was punctual, professional, and clearly very skilled at his work. He took the time to explain what needed to be done and completed the job efficiently and neatly. Everything is working perfectly now. I really appreciated his friendly attitude and attention to detail. I’d highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable plumber."

"Andy was a pleasure to have here at our home . He was professional and very engaging . I would hire him again as well as refer him to others for any plumbing needs. Andy always response to my messages promptly and I was given a very good price for his work. He was very clean and made sure I understood what he was doing. Andy also did some work on my boiler and went through all the steps with me for proper preventive maintenance. The plumbing work he performed was reinstalling the drain pipe and p trap under my double bowl kitchen sink. Andy also removed my sink drain and dishwasher drain assembly under my kitchen floor in the crawlspace and installed everything properly for better drainage/performance. Thanks Andy"

"Wow, these guys know what they are doing! After a heavy rain we found out driveway drain was clogged. I called J&S and they came out the very next day. The crew was extremely professional and knowledgeable. They determined that our main sewer line was the problem and did a great job rodding it and getting rid of all the tree roots that caused the issue. It was so clogged that they had to rod it several time using various pieces of equipment in order to clear it. They televised the drain and made sure the drain was sound and totally clear. I would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone. I plan to have them come back annually to inspect and rod the drain."

"I had a kitchen sink that was draining very slowly and would back up. Additionally, I had a laundry tub that was draining very slowly. Jason & Chris promptly came to rod pipes. They both were professional and answered my numerous questions. The rodding of kitchen drain took longer than I expected because the kitchen drain did not clear immediately. They were were patient and worked through the presenting issues with both the kitchen sink and laundry tub. They also spent time after rodding pipes to look at a potential future project. I look forward to using perma seal in the future."

"I highly recommend Copper Sky Plumbing. They are very prompt and professional. We initially used their service to replace a leaky Back Flow Preventer. Since then we had a leak in plumbing between the walls and they made it a priority to immediately visit our house, diagnose the issue, make a small cut in the wall and fix the issue. All this was done without any major dry wall damage."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Glen Ellyn, 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.
