"EXCELLENT! The pipe clogged on a SUNDAY AFTERNOON, of course. Water was leaking into our basement! I started looking for someone with 24 hour service, and no one could come out. Then I got a call from IL Sewer and Drain. Joe said he could be out in about an hour, it was already after 4:30 pm. He came out, and was able to unclog our pipe! But upon inspection, the pipe needed to be replaced. He was able to schedule it for the next morning! The work took a few hours, but was all finished and cleaned up! I would not hesitate to hire them again or give them an outstanding reference."

"Ken was friendly, efficient, and gave what ended up being a fair (and very accurate) estimate. The tasks were daunting but he got everything we discussed as " imperative" completed and gave me some advise as far as my water conditioning is concerned. Would recommend and if needed, I will use Price-Less Plumbing & Drain, Inc. in the future."

"After the big spring rains, water began seeping into my basement at several locations. I could see tree roots encroaching on the sump pump and assumed that drain tile was clogged resulting in water pressure strong enough to seep through the joint between the foundation wall and the floor. Tim explained that tree roots should be killed off with copper sulfate and that seepage was likely the result of cracks in the foundation wall that are covered up by the drywall. He said a single leak can appear in multiple locations as it travels along the 2x4's anchored to the floor. We talked about how I could go about finding cracks. He showed me the machine he would use if I decided to have him clear out the drains and warned that the silt and debris may tear up my sump pump. His focus was on helping me understand what my options are, not selling me a service I may not need and for that I'm grateful. I will definitely call him back when the time comes."

"Terrence Spranger was my plumber. His quote was fair. He was on time to the job. He replaced my hot water tank and shut off valve. He suggested placing a tray under the tank that has a drain hose just in case the new tank eventually leaks then it won’t run all over my basement. He had the model and serial numbers added to my receipt for insurance purposes. He was very personable and put the customer first. He went beyond what was expected of him to do. Thank you"

"Un-clogged a totally closed bathtub drain, worked hard on a nonworking faucet handle until he explained that it was irreparable and required replacement by the manufacturer. He identified a problem in the toilet tank and went out to buy a new handle. He didn't charge for his time shopping or for the cost of the handle."

"It went amazing. They were there for me when I needed them most. They got the job done in a timely manner and kept me up to date throughout the entire process. Not only did they communicate well, but the quality of work that was done was completely mind blowing. They transformed my crawlspace from the openings on the crawlspace walls to a new and improved sewer, drain tile system and vapor barrier. Holy cow was I impressed when I went into my crawlspace after they were done. They deserve more than just an A. Their work is extraordinary and hard to find these days. I definitely could not recommend anyone better. Thank you Aqua Doctor!"

"Agent came well within the time we were told. Keith was a very pleasant fellow. Worked without stop. Left my place clean as it was when he started. Recommended that an old valve be swapped for a new ball valve. He said he could do it for $50.00. A no brainer for me. 15 minutes later he was leaving. BTW, the price was very reasonable. Good job Dynamic"

"My old cast iron main drain from my ejector pit that runs through the basement ceiling, broke and spilled sewage into my basement. Aqua Knight Plumbing showed up within the hour, assessed the situation, came up with a plan and had fixed it all the same day! They were so kind to my kids too! Lucas and Matt and wonderful."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to clean your linear drain every two to three months to prevent debris buildup. However, if you notice it draining slowly or an odor from your drainpipes, it’s best to clear the clogged drain and maintain it more often. If you let a clog go for too long, you may have to invest in the price of professional shower drain cleaning, which costs about $225.

Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.

Air gaps get clogged by a few different means. Over time, food and grime can collect in the air gap, leading to a blockage. Mineral deposits from hard water are a common problem. Mineral buildup creates a film in the air gap and tubing, which can cause flow issues, as well as attract debris. Homeowners with hard water may want to remove mineral deposits regularly to keep the air gap clean and clear.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

Most clogs are resolved quickly, often within an hour. More complex issues requiring pipe disassembly might take longer.
