6 months agoMAS Plumbing, Inc.
81 Monaco Dr, Roselle, IL 60172, USA
(630) 884-4201I have nothing but good things to say about MAS plumbing. My initial call was after work, for a slow drain on my kitchen sink, I had a little bit of a slow drain throughout the week, and I thought I had time before things totally clogged up, so I scheduled my visit for the weekend (WEEKEND AVAILABILITY IS SUCH A HARD THING TO FIND). I was told that MAS could have someone come out and perform an inspection and I signed up. I tried to see if I could fix the issue myself using a hand crank drain snake, and I wasn't getting anywhere. Low and behold, later that night my sink and dishwasher totally backed up, and I knew I needed help ASAP. I called MAS the same day at 9 p.m. and got a hold of their afterhours answering service, who let me know they would forward my call to the office to be addressed the next day. To my surprise, Carl called me back the same night! He offered to come out at 9 p.m. but let me know that since it wasn't really an emergency, he'd recommend that I just wait until the next day. He let me know that they could definitely get me in for the next day, and that he would probably be the one to come out and assist. Without Carl I wouldn't have been able to sleep, just getting a call back from Carl letting me know that MAS plumbing could be out the next day helped me rest easy. Carl came out the next day, and KILLED IT. Super kind, professional, skilled and also charismatic. He got the pro-sized snake out and got the job done in less than a couple hours. I could tell he really cared about the client experience, and he was super focused on getting the job done. Carl also went above and beyond and took a look at my drain line set-up so that I could ensure that it was pitched correctly. I can't recommend MAS enough. The customer service was excellent from start to slightly panicked late-night moment, all the way to when Carl came and won me over as a client for likely the rest of my time in this house. I'm so happy I found this Company, and Carl made me a client of MAS for life! Thanks again, Carl and MAS!
2 weeks agoI really appreciated Mas plumbing schedule my appointment for the very nice day. Everyone is very nice and friendly tackling the plumbing problem as soon as possible.

Thank you for a job swiftly done so my family could use our guest bathroom again. Diana

1 month agoJourneymen Plumbing and Sewer LLC
30W270 Butterfield Rd Unit 117, Warrenville, IL 60555, USA
(630) 447-8629Our sewer had backed up. Caleb came out quickly, cleared the problem, and provided us with a great video of our pipes all the way to the connection with the city sewer. Great service at a very reasonable price. We have our new plumber for any future plumbing work!
2 weeks agoWe contacted Journeymen Plumbing and received a call back from Caleb the same day. He was very professional and friendly and booked an appointment for the following day. Kyle unclogged the kitchen sink drain and fixed a low pressure faucet. He was very knowledgeable, professional and listened. He covered the floor before setting his equipment down, which I really appreciated. His work was high quality at a very fair price. I will definitely use their service again.
5 months agoI called Journeymen plumbing out for some dishwasher and tub leaking issues, both of which they were able to accurately diagnose and troubleshoot, resulting in both issues being fixed. Over the phone I talked with Caleb who was very pleasant and professional to talk with, and then Noah was the technician that arrived to the house. Noah was also very pleasant, communicative, and easy to talk with. He walked through all the steps of the repair with us before doing it, and very nicely showed us the problems and what needed to be fixed. Overall, I was very happy with our experience with the company!
1 month agoDrainmaster Sewer & Plumbing LLC
1302 Raymond St, South Elgin, IL 60177, USA
(224) 704-6220Drain Masters was recommended to me by two friends at the gym for what I thought was a plugged toilet drain line. They came by within a day of my call, diagnosed the problem at no charge, and told me I could fix it myself, or have them repair the issue at what I thought was a pretty reasonable price. I elected to do it myself to save the money as it was a pretty simple fix. They were honest and comfortable to deal with. I will definitely be calling these guys again for any plumbing issues I have.
3 months agoThis is the second time we’ve used drain master to route our Floor drain by washer/dryer prevent back ups! They are Extremely professional, and cleaned the area after the work was done. They charged a reasonable fee, they were on time and full of helpful information. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area who Have plumbing issues.
5 months agoI needed some help fixing an underground downspout drain that I shattered while digging out a shrub in my garden. Tim was incredibly responsive, prices were competitive, the job was done quickly and no mess was left behind. DSP's card has found its rightful place on my fridge and they will be my first call if a future plumbing need arises.
5 months ago1-Tom-Plumber
9200 Pyott Rd, Lake in the Hills, IL 60156, USA
(815) 900-2223What I thought was a simple laundry clog turned out to be a much larger sewer job. Even though Justin was slotted for what was probably a fast job, he was still able to quickly adapt thanks to being incredibly prepared and having everything he could need in his truck, didn't have to run out for parts or tools even once. Got me back up and running quickly and expertly, highly recommend!
2 weeks agoI had a wonderful experience with 1-Tom-Plumber from start to finish. They answered my call right away after I discovered my old water heater was leaking, which honestly caught me off guard since it was only about 8 years old. I had a big bulky 75-gallon Richmond power-vent water heater, and by the time I noticed the issue, water was leaking throughout my basement. To make matters worse, some of my existing plumbing lines were already corroded and beginning to leak as well. I went a full week without hot water while trying to figure out the best long term solution, which was incredibly stressful. When 1-Tom-Plumber came out, they were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain all of my replacement options without pressure. After talking it through, I decided to upgrade to a tankless “endless hot water” system. I’m so glad I did. The new system works amazingly well. I never run out of hot water, and unlike traditional systems, it doesn’t require a specific hard-water softener, so I didn’t have to invest in an additional water softening system. It also doesn’t require costly yearly flushes, which was a huge plus for me. On top of that, the system comes with a 15-year manufacturer warranty and is made right here in America, which gave me even more confidence in my decision. The workmanship was truly top-notch, the installation was clean, and everything was explained clearly along the way. I’m extremely happy with my experience and the upgrade. If you’re dealing with water heater issues or considering going tankless, I highly recommend 1-Tom-Plumber. They made a stressful situation so much easier and delivered excellent results.
1 month agoI would absolutely recommend this company and its valuable employee Eric! He was here within 2 hours (Sunday am at 7) for a leak in the garage ceiling. Eric was professional and patient in answering our questions and very knowledgeable….for a cubs fan 😂. He fixed the issue! I would absolutely recommend this company again
1 month agoJ. Blanton Plumbing, Sewer & Drain
964 N McLean Blvd, Elgin, IL 60123, USA
(224) 642-2904I had a fantastic experience with Edgar as he replaced our kitchen sink drain system. He was thorough and patient with me, as he explained what the issue was and how was going to solve the problem. He even walked me through the repair/installation at key points during the process. I'd highly recommend Edgar and J. Blanton for any of your plumbing needs.
3 weeks agoDominic ran into some very large build up during the cleaning, but was able to modify his approach to make sure the job was done perfectly. Very thankful for his expertise and service.
5 months agoCameron showed up in time, was super knowledgeable, friendly and paid attention to detail. He offered advice, conscious about the property and building shut off time frame. He made sure that all water sources in my condo were working when finished. Well worth the time and money spent.
6 months agoFerrari Plumbing, Inc.
120 Bridge St #200, Wheaton, IL 60187, USA
(630) 260-5898Ferrari Plumbing is outstanding! They came quickly, were right on time, and worked with great detail and efficiency. Wes was amazing—kind, respectful, and clearly cares about customers. Him and his team not only fixed our shower drain and pipe backup, but also gave helpful suggestions to prevent future issues and even pointed out small things around the house just to protect us, not to upsell. Honestly, your day—and maybe even your life—will be better if you even spend a few minutes talking to Wes. It’s rare to find a company that takes such a holistic, customer-first approach. Highly recommend Ferrari Plumbing!
5 months agoOur water heater, at the 12-year mark, finally died, and I called a few local HVAC companies, including our regular HVAC company in Winfield. They couldn't help immediately, wanting to schedule an appointment for a later date, and that wasn't going to work. So I remembered Ferrari Plumbing, which I passed many times going to work, and I called them. They were literally here in ten minutes, and within two hours, I had a brand new water heater installed. Brand new valves were installed—the same high-end water heater that I had before, the same brand, at least. Wes and his assistant, Josh, were just absolutely fantastic, and they put up with my grumpy attitude to boot. I can't say enough about them. The work they did was fantastic, and needless to say, I'm appreciative of their spur-of-the-moment service. I would highly recommend them to anybody.
1 week agoWes and Josh were great. We had a couple leaks we needed checked out and addressed quickly. They came out same day, repaired one issue, and came back to install the new water heaters the next day. Repairs are done. No more leaks and no more headaches! Thanks Wes and Josh!
1 week agoRestore Plumbing and Drain
1401 Timber Dr, Elgin, IL 60123, USA
(847) 448-0487The shower had no hot water. We called Restore plumbing and drain. The woman who answered the phone was very nice. John came the next day to inspect and explain the possibilities in detail. He was extremely patient and tried to fix the problem. Finally, we had hot water running. Very happy with the service we received from John.👍👍
2 weeks agoQuick in and out. Half as much as a plumbing company I've been using for years with the same product and quality. Friendly and fast. I believe in paying fair wages and paying what for what you get but the other guys were ridiculous for what the job is. If I wasn't old and fat now....I could do it myself but it would take me a whole day lol! Thank you Restore Plumbing for being accessible and affordable without losing the fantastic service and quality.
3 months agoAbsolute incredible experience from start to finish with the Restore team. From my very first phone call, everything was handled professionally, clearly, and with real care. The consultation with Dave was thorough and straightforward. He took the time to explain the system, answer questions, and make sure I was comfortable with every step before moving forward. The installation work completed by John and CJ was equally impressive. They were punctual, respectful of my home, and clearly took pride in their work. The install was clean, efficient, and well explained, and they made sure everything was working properly before they left. It is obvious this team knows what they are doing and genuinely cares about delivering a great experience, not just finishing a job. It is rare to work with a company where every touchpoint feels this well run and thoughtful. I would give this group 1000 stars if I could. Restore has absolutely earned my long term business, and I will confidently refer them to anyone I know who needs reverse osmosis or plumbing solutions. I truly appreciated the experience and could not recommend them more highly.

1 month agoJack Simonson was great! Had 5 different companies for quotes in my sewer line. He was the most honest and transparent of the plumbers. He gave me a estimate onsite and did not try to upsell me like the others. Scottish Plumber made sure the hydro jet and stent was done timely and show me the before and after.
2 weeks agoElliot is a thorough, professional, and proactive plumber. He went above and beyond while he was at our home, found the core issue after detailed troubleshooting, and made sure our pump worked properly. We really appreciated his attention to detail and willingness to ensure everything worked as it should. After calling 4 plumbers and getting ghosted (not sure why), it was a huge relief to speak with someone over the phone to schedule Elliot to come by and help us out. Scottish Plumber has an excellent system and brought a great plumber! Update: we had Carlos come to install a new back up sump pump and check valve and he was prompt, kind, and careful! We are so grateful for the team at Scottish plumbing.

542 Shaker Ln, Lake Zurich, IL 60047, USA
(224) 483-8438Urban Plumbing Inc. did an excellent job installing the complete water and sewer system, as well as connecting the water heating boiler for my beauty salon.

Residents of the 'City in the Suburbs' know that a clogged drain can bring a busy household to a standstill.

Common Drain Issues in Elgin
Tree Root Intrusion: Many of Elgin's established neighborhoods feature mature, beautiful trees whose roots are naturally drawn to the moisture in older sewer lines. These roots can penetrate clay or cast iron pipes, leading to recurring backups that require professional intervention.
Fox River Valley Hard Water: The water in the Elgin area is known for its mineral content, which can lead to significant scale buildup inside your plumbing. Over time, these minerals narrow the diameter of your pipes, causing slow drainage and making clogs much more frequent.
Aging Infrastructure: In Elgin's historic districts, original plumbing systems are common. These older pipes are more susceptible to corrosion and sagging, which can trap debris and create stubborn blockages that a standard plunger simply cannot fix.
Basement Floor Drain Backups: With the Fox River nearby and the regional water table, Elgin basements are prone to moisture. If a floor drain becomes clogged with sediment or debris, it can lead to localized flooding during heavy Illinois rainstorms, requiring immediate cleaning.
Kitchen Grease and Disposal Clogs: As a vibrant community of families, Elgin kitchens see heavy use. Fats, oils, and grease often solidify in the underground pipes cooled by the Illinois soil, creating 'fatbergs' that completely obstruct your kitchen's drainage system.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Elgin
Spring Sump Pump Check: As the Fox River Valley thaws and spring rains arrive, ensure your sump pump and its discharge line are clear of debris to prevent basement backups.
Fall Leaf Prevention: Keep outdoor drains and gutters clear of Elgin's heavy autumn leaf fall. Debris in your exterior drains can lead to water backing up into your foundation during the first freeze.
Winter Pipe Protection: During Elgin’s sub-zero winter stretches, ensure pipes in unheated areas are insulated. A frozen pipe that cracks can introduce debris into the system, causing major clogs once the ice melts.
Summer Grease Awareness: During BBQ season, avoid pouring cooking oils down the sink. While they may stay liquid in a warm kitchen, they quickly solidify in the cooler subterranean pipes typical of the Illinois climate.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Elgin
Pricing for drain cleaning in Elgin typically depends on the location of the clog and the equipment required. Simple sink or tub snaking is on the lower end, while main sewer line cleaning or hydro-jetting to remove tree roots will fall on the higher end of the scale.
Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Elgin
How fast can you find a plumber in Elgin?
Because we verify availability across Elgin zip codes before connecting you, we can often find a technician who can arrive within a few hours for emergency clogs.
Does the Fox River affect my home's drainage?
While the river doesn't enter your pipes, the high water table in Elgin can cause soil shifting, which may lead to cracked or misaligned sewer lines that frequently clog.
Do I need a permit for drain cleaning in Elgin?
Standard drain cleaning and snaking do not require a permit. However, if a verified plumber discovers a collapsed pipe that needs replacement, they will handle the necessary City of Elgin permits for the repair.
