"Had a flooding basement and Collins sent out Blake and Adam right away and they did a really great job getting the drains unclogged and running a camera through and taking the time to show me the condition of the whole drain pipe. Really professional and lowest price of all the bids I received, definitely recommend!"

"Well. I have a sewer backup system that Permaseal installed in 2012. Never had a problem with it and it solved my sewer backup problem. I am supposed to have it inspected annually. I skipped a few years by laziness. They inspected this year. All was in order. They did however recommend that I replace a pump that is beyond its expected useful life and also batteries that are beyond their life. Those will be done in September or October. At same time I asked them to look at a floor drain in an unfinished portion of my basement. Water had come up. They diagnosed that my kitchen sink was backing up into the floor drain and fixed the problem by rodding the pipe under the floor drain. They were prompt and efficient. I also arranged to prepay for 5 years of servicing."

"Mike is clearly experienced and respects someone who likes to DIY and repair things independently, but knows their own limits. My faucet works like new, doesn't leak, and is much easier to turn the handle now!"

"I found Mr. Rooter on Angi and got a call back from them within just a few hours. They were able to send someone to our house the following morning, and the technician (Yuri) communicated well and explained what his diagnosis was and how he would propose to treat it. Time will tell how effective the treatment was since we were addressing an intermittent problem rather than an existing blockage. Yuri also gave some good advice about how to try to avoid problems in the future."

"The service men were cordial and polite. These informed me as to their requests and how they were going to proceed with the duct cleaning. After the cleaning the area was policed and everything was back in order. An excellent experience and I would recommend 4 Seasons to anybody that may need a new system, or to have their system cleaned."

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