Had a water spot on ceiling and assumed there was a leak from plumbing above. Noah’s came out and cut hole in ceiling. Looked and flushed toilets and said it must have been previous clog that cleared itself. Called construction company a month later to fix the hole in ceiling. The contractor said there was a leak and needed that to get fixed so it doesn’t damage the new drywall. I called Noah’s and spoke with a lady that answered the phone. She was nice and I explained the situation. She said the owner would need to call me back. I received a call from a man that was very aggressive. He said you are calling demanding a refund. I explained I was not and wanted to give them opportunity to fix the problem. I offered photos. He said weren’t you there when they flushed the toilet and ran the shower I said I was. He said you didn’t see the leak. I told him I wasn’t the professional. I let him know it was not the toilet they looked at. He said so you are telling me there is a toilet right behind the other toilet. I said yes there is and the pipes run together. He told me he was going to call the plumbing board on me and I would have them knocking on my door because the company I have at my house is not licensed plumbers (this is incorrect, they are). I said I called so you aware as the owner and to see if you can make it correct. He said have you ever went to the doctor with a problem and they didn’t have the answer or have you ever taken you vehicle to the mechanic and they can’t find the problem. He continued to yell until I just hung up the phone. Also be aware of reviews because I choose them so to their high rating, now I look closer at the reviews and there are several that are edited. Not sure why the stars are edited but something I haven’t seen in the past.

I can’t remember if I reviewed you guys before but my house is a plumbing lemon. It was built in 1970 and all the pipes are disasters waiting to happen. They came out today and unclogged my kitchen sink - guys are always prompt and friendly, really reasonable pricing, honest and upfront. As a woman a lot of the time you encounter men who give you what seemed to be escalated prices or unnecessary services in their estimates, and I have never found that to be true with All About Plumbing! Last year they replaced the sewer pipe in my backyard for half the cost of what Rescue Rooter estimated. They also fixed my main input line a couple years ago and a pipe in my attic. Love these guys, and I’m sure I’ll see them again soon, unfortunately 😂

Sometimes when it rains at pores. And that's kind of what I was going through. When my drain in my basement decided it wasn't gonna drain anymore. I had more five hundred dollar problems than I had five hundred dollars coming in. In this is just after the holidays. Of course, these people did not know any of this.All they knew is that I had a basement.That was backed up with about three inches of water.And I needed some service. I called them friday monring. A very friendly lady answered the phone.Took my address and my phone number and told me that somebody would be there probably within the next few hours.And that they would message me when they were in route. I got my message and I headed to the bank to grab some cash and home to meet them. In the past, i've been charged everywhere, from $300 -$700 hundred dollars for this to be done. It's tree roots, and it has to be done about every three years. I've used Parks ann Roto Rooter in the past. So when I got home and found that they had already fixed the problem.In under an hour. And it was only gonna cost me a $160. I cried because like I said. Right now I have more $500 problems than I can juggle at this time. I had a head back to work. But I gave my son two hundred dollars and told him to give it to the guys when they left and keep the change.And thank you very much. You don't know how much you helped me. In more ways then you know.

Very pleased. They were able to get out the same day. I just had Parks out within the past month, and the problem started happening again within a day or two. Kelly's was able to figure out the problem and resolve it. I was very pleased. I feel like I've wasted a lot of money this past year having frequent service calls with other sewer services and none of them were able to identify the problem until Kelly's.

The service was great. They were quick to help. Mike the plumber that came out was wonderful. He diagnosed the problem and corrected it. Then was through in making sure it was solved. He was friendly and careful not to make a mess. I highly recommend this service.

Long story short, we ended up contacting these guys as a second opinion for a busted sewer pipe. The folks we had out originally had told us the break was under our garage floor and that they would need to bust up our concrete, a job that would take several days. After the situation got much worse,( sewer backing up into our garage!), we had to call Advanced Plumbing. They came out the SAME DAY I called, within hours, and determined that the sewer break was actually OUTSIDE of our house, not inside like we were originally told. They were even able to start AND finish the repairs the very next day, getting us back in business and using our OWN bathroom in less than 48 hours, it was amazing! Not only did they do a fantastic job repairing our sewer, Jim and his crew saved us a huge headache, a few thousand dollars ,and who knows how many days without being able to use our own bathroom, by NOT busting up our garage floor unnecessarily! I absolutely recommend them for any plumbing needs and will definitely call them again if needed! Great job guys!

Jim and Donovan did a wonderful job on my bathroom. I bought a bit of a fixer upper and there had been some pretty bad leaks in the bathroom prior. Jim identified the problems and recommended the solutions. They were able to get me on the schedule that week and they got the work done in a day! I really appreciated that they were able to get it done so quickly as I was trying to get the house ready to be able to move in asap. Thank you, Jim and Donovan!

We have called Advanced Plumbing out two different times and were very happy with them. Jim and another gentleman came out both times and were prompt and very friendly. They explained the problem and what they could do to resolve it. They did a great job and I will continue to use them and refer them to anyone else who has a problem. Very professional.

Responded quickly with problems involving our septic tank. Office staff was friendly and good at keeping me updated with everything. Other places in town wouldn't even answer the phone or respond to voicemails. I will definitely use them for plumbing issues in the future.

We had a pipe bust in the basement on the evening of Christmas Eve. Travis took my call, explained that he had quite a few services calls ahead of me but not to worry, he would be here. He showed up, was friendly, knowledgeable and fast! 10/10 I would recommend.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Decatur, Illinois

Decatur residents know that a slow drain can quickly turn into a major headache, especially in our historic neighborhoods near the West End or around Millikin University. Finding a plumber who is actually available when you have an emergency shouldn't involve hours of phone tag. That is where our specialized verification service changes the game for Macon County homeowners.

We don't just give you a list of names; we actively scan our network of certified Decatur plumbers and filter them by your exact zip code. Most importantly, we call them ourselves to confirm they have a technician ready to solve your specific issue right now. Whether it’s a stubborn kitchen sink or a main line backup, we ensure the help you need is truly on its way before you ever pick up the phone.

Common Drain Issues in Decatur, Illinois

Many of Decatur’s charming older homes, particularly in the historic districts, still utilize original clay or cast-iron sewer lines. Over time, these pipes develop cracks that invite invasive tree roots from our lush local foliage, leading to frequent and severe main line blockages that require professional clearing.

Central Illinois is known for its hard water, and Decatur is no exception. Mineral buildup from calcium and magnesium can narrow the diameter of your pipes over the years, making it much easier for soap scum and hair to create stubborn clogs that a simple plunger can't handle.

With the heavy rainfall common in the Midwest, Decatur basements are often equipped with floor drains and sump pumps. When these become clogged with silt or debris, especially during the stormy spring season, it can lead to localized flooding and water damage if not cleared immediately.

In residential areas near Lake Decatur, kitchen drains often take a beating from heavy daily use. Fat, oil, and grease (FOG) poured down the sink might seem liquid at first, but they quickly solidify in the cool underground pipes, creating 'fatbergs' that completely stop your drainage system.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Decatur, Illinois

Spring: As the Illinois ground thaws and spring showers arrive, check your basement floor drains for any standing water. Ensuring these are clear is vital for preventing basement flooding during heavy Decatur thunderstorms.

Summer: With kids home from school and more outdoor activities, your garbage disposal works overtime. Avoid putting fibrous vegetables like corn husks or celery—common in Illinois gardens—down the drain, as they can tangle and cause motor failure.

Fall: Before the first frost hits Macon County, clear your outdoor drains and gutters. Leaves and organic debris can wash into your perimeter drains, leading to ice dams and drainage backups once the temperature drops.

Winter: Decatur winters can be brutal. If your drains are running slow, they are more susceptible to freezing. Keep your home at a consistent temperature and ensure your main sewer cleanout is accessible and not buried under snow drifts.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Decatur, Illinois

$175-$425

Pricing in Decatur typically ranges based on the severity of the clog and the equipment required. A standard snake service for a single drain is on the lower end, while hydro-jetting or main line clearing involving root removal may reach higher price points.
