"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.

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."

"Larry was great. I walked him through what work I wanted done and he provided three proposals. The work was scheduled and completed in a timely fashion and I couldn't be happier with the result. The only thing that I think could be improved is the process of the consultation. I originally found Larry's company via Angi. When I contacted him to come out for the consultation, there was no mention of a fee. Even though he eventually waived the fee when the job was completed, the failure to mention that seemed like an oversight."

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