The young men that dig up my back yard to improve our drainage issues were very polite, hard working, and appeared to be very knowledgeable about their work. They did the proper work before they broke ground which provided some confidence in this big project. I chose this company because of the care they said they would take to come back and level and replace the grass after dirt settled. It is too soon to see if that grass responds to our TLC, but the crew that returned to do that work also helped grade the ground away from the house. They checked in with me throughout the process. They had no problem with responding to my direction at any time. Very honest people to work with.

It was a sunny beautiful February Friday. Our main drain in our utility room backed up not once, but twice leaving us with standing water by end of business day. From first phone call getting scheduled, to our knowledgeable, honest, and professional tech coming to our home, assessing the situation and handling the issue we give all stars. Communication is excellent AND we got the camera scope included with cost with a detailed report of what caused the back up. The price is more than fair for the quick service, equipment being used, services included while being after hours… we were taken care of without breaking the bank. We will be utilizing this company for any plumbing issues in the future. Thank you and thank you to tech Anthony for being an all-star. Well done.

When sewage backed up into the house Roto Rooter came right away. The gentleman was able to get everything to drain and explained that we were ok for now but there was still something blocking the pipe somewhere. It was determined where the issue was and they returned to remove tree roots from the pipe. They thought they would have to dig up the front yard to do it. They showed up with a back hoe and before digging they wanted to try to unclog it without digging. They worked for quite a while in the crawl space and were actually able to unclog it and replaced the section of pipe that needed replaced. All without digging. The service was great and I give them more than 5 stars for their work. However, after submitting an insurance claim we have been unsuccessful at getting roto rooter to give us or the insurance company the info requested by our insurance. There have been numerous calls to them and we are told someone will call back and it never happens. I give them 0 stars for this. They did great work and were paid when the work was completed. It seems that once they were paid they no longer care. As a company you would think they would want repeat customers. This is definitely not the way to do that..

Roto-Rooter provided excellent and professional service for our compromised sewer pipe. We highly recommend Roto-Rooter for any problems related to sewer mishap or any other plumbing needs. Justin our field supervisor, was more than qualified and very professional with assisting us with our plumbing needs and he is the main reason we chose Roto-Rooter.

Very good service. I urgently needed help over my sewer line backing up from the drain in the basement. Traveion was sent out same day and actually showed up much earlier than the expected window of time, which was great. He fixed everything in no time at all so I am very thankful they were able to get me in on such short notice.

Short answer: Fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. Long answer: Put in an inquiry online and within a few hours was called to schedule. While I elected to wait for monday to have someone come out I was offered something sooner. Someone came out Monday, cleared the clog and the next day camera man came out to determine the reason for back up (tree roots). He sent pictures to his co-worker who assessed the damage to determine need for insurance claim. We then recieved a date to repair the damage(a week later). The prompt attention to the matter was fantastic, we would definently use again. Giving 4 stars for one reason: the initial appt they were 2 hrs early and the camera man gave short notice on his arrival. We can usually make timings work as long as I have a days notice. ALL worked out in this case, and pleased with the communication and prompt attention. From my inquiry to the pipe repairs was a total of 10 days which was great!!! Would recommend 100%

Mixed emotions about my experience... i thought price waa high but they did show up within a few hours of calling. While jetting the technician made it to my toilet and busted the sides out of my toilet, pieces of my toilet flew everywhere. This the second time my toilet was damage when Roto Rooter jetted my line, first time was a few years ago on which the toilet cracked. Both times they replaced the toilet at no charge which is expected and the lines are always clear after the jetting. I plan on using another company with hopefully more experienced plumbers, $462 seems like a price on which they would use a scope with the jet to prevent reaching toilets and causing additional damaging. The technician also barely cleaned after he was done, and said you'll need to sweep up a bit while walking out the door. Little pieces of porcelain was left for me to clean.

Christmas Day I started having some plumbing issues. After the holidays Rick Ray and Sons came out found I had a broken sewer line. They sent me an estimate and then set a date for it to be fixed. They came out and started work only to find my neighbors sewer line next to mine was broken; the reason another company bore through our sewer lines. The guys working took pictures and we notified my neighbor. After discussion Shane, my neighbor and myself agreed on the billing charges. The guys stayed into the evening as they previously told me it would be finished that day. They stood true to that. All work was done and cleaned up. They were great to work with and kept me notified as to what was going on. I would highly recommend Rick Ray and Sons.

You should totally use Roto-Rooter, especially Stephen! He was super helpful and worked hard to fix our sewer line, toilet, sink, and even the garbage disposal recently. He showed us what he did and talked about it. We really trust him and think you should too.

I’ve had roto rooter do a few different projects for us now. We got a partial sewer fix, burst pipe repair, dishwasher install, and will continue to go through them. They are professional and know what they are doing. They communicate issues they see happening, and have fair pricing. Plumbers are expensive and they have fair pricing for their services. For our sewer we got multiple quotes and roto rooter was communicative and fair throughout the process! Unlike other plumbing companies we got quotes from.

Ridings Plumbing truly sets the standard for quality and professionalism. From start to finish, their service was exceptional. Lou, the technician, tackled a particularly challenging job with skill and dedication, going above and beyond expectations. He arrived on time, communicated well, and treated my elderly dad with kindness and respect. The team ensured everything was cleaned up afterward and even provided a one-year warranty on the work. Ridings Plumbing is a company you can trust, and I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!

Previous to buying our house, Mike Williams installed a new PVC sewer line to the road. 5 years later, tree roots have gotten through one of their joints 8 feet underground (had it scoped by another company) and caused a sewage backup in our finished basement. This is a result of their shotty work, and there is no warranty at this point. Never should have happened. The previous owner paid them just under $10k, and it’s going to cost me another $10k to have a reputable company come in, dig up my yard, and fix their mistake. This is not to mention removing the basement carpet amongst other repairs. Unbelievable. Avoid this company if at all possible. Update: After having a reputable company come in, it turns out that Mike Williams actually left about a 10 foot section of clay pipe in the waste line. What I believed was a mistake when it was scoped by the original company, turns out to be negligence. I looked at the scope, and both the technician and myself could not believe they had done this. The clay pipe is collapsing, and the technician stated that it was inevitable to happen with the way Mike Williams left it. Truly despicable company.

Andrew fixed our furnace less than 24 hours after it went out in sub-zero temperatures. Our furnace was only 4.5 years old, and it turned out the wiring was done incorrectly by the company that installed it. We discussed the fact that there might have been more damage done, but he was able to figure out the heating elements were still intact before agreeing to having the work done. He let us know about the service club, which will save us money down the road. He was polite and professional, and we would recommend them if asked.

Kevin was friendly, informative and professional. He was focused and performed his tasks efficiently. Would recommend him from Tiger! I need to edit my previous post. Kevin was great, but company is very hard to work with if you have questions and want detailed information and answers. Owners and Management are not customer oriented or friendly and when called to get answers on what type of water heater I was getting they were vague and didn’t want to answer. I tried to cancel membership but was told, I agreed to membership for a year. They pressure you to at least sign up for membership before they start providing estimates or any type of service. For this reason, I give zero stars but google only allows 1 star.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Springfield

Springfield’s unique blend of historic architecture near the State Capitol and modern residential developments requires a specialized approach to plumbing. Whether you are dealing with a slow-moving kitchen sink in an older brick home or a major sewer backup in a newer suburb, finding a reliable professional shouldn't be a chore. Our service streamlines the process by connecting you with certified Illinois plumbers who are ready to work right now. We don't just provide a list of names; we proactively manage the search for you. By scanning our local Springfield network and filtering for your specific neighborhood and zip code, we identify the best matches for your needs. We then go the extra mile by calling the technicians ourselves to verify they have a truck available to solve your drain issue today, ensuring you don't waste time on unanswered calls or 'fully booked' messages.

Common Drain Issues in Springfield

Historic Pipe Deterioration: Many homes in Springfield’s established neighborhoods still utilize original cast iron or clay sewer lines. Over decades, these materials can scale, crack, or collapse, leading to persistent clogs that require more than a simple hardware store snake to clear.

Tree Root Intrusion: Springfield is known for its beautiful canopy of mature oaks and maples. Unfortunately, these thirsty roots often find their way into tiny fissures in underground pipes. Once inside, they grow rapidly, creating a 'net' that catches debris and causes total blockages that only a professional can remove.

Hard Water Scale: The groundwater in Central Illinois is notoriously hard. Over time, mineral deposits build up on the interior walls of your pipes, narrowing the passage for wastewater. This makes your drains significantly more susceptible to clogs from hair, soap scum, and food particles.

Stormwater Surcharge: During heavy Illinois rainstorms, Springfield’s drainage systems can become overwhelmed. This pressure often causes basement floor drains to back up, requiring immediate professional intervention to prevent water damage and sanitize the affected area.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Springfield

Spring Thaw Inspections: As the ground thaws in Sangamon County, keep a close eye on your basement floor drains. Ensure they are clear of any winter dust or debris so they can handle the increased moisture from spring rains.

Summer Grease Prevention: With more home cooking and summer gatherings, be extra careful about what goes down the disposal. Illinois heat doesn't keep grease liquid for long; once it hits your cooler underground pipes, it solidifies and creates a 'fatberg' that stops your kitchen sink cold.

Autumn Leaf Debris: Before the first heavy freeze, ensure your outdoor area drains and gutter downspouts are clear of leaves. If these become blocked, melting snow can back up into your foundation or into your home's internal drainage system.

Winter Pipe Protection: During Springfield's sub-zero stretches, keep your indoor temperatures consistent and allow air to circulate around pipes in cabinets. A frozen drain line can expand and crack, leading to a messy and expensive discovery once the weather warms up.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Springfield

$175-$450

Typical drain cleaning costs in Springfield depend on the severity of the blockage and the equipment required. A standard sink or tub snake is generally more affordable, while main sewer line cleanouts or hydro-jetting services fall on the higher end of the spectrum.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Springfield

How quickly can I get a plumber to my Springfield home?

Because we call and verify 24-hour availability for you, we can often find a certified Springfield plumber who can be at your door within a few hours of your request.

Do you cover all zip codes in the Springfield area?

Yes, our system filters specifically by your zip code in the Springfield metro area to ensure the plumber we find is local to you and can arrive quickly.

Are the plumbers in your network licensed to work in Illinois?

Absolutely. We only scan for certified plumbers who meet Illinois state licensing requirements and have the proper insurance to perform drain cleaning and sewer repairs.

What is the most common cause of sewer backups in Springfield?

In our experience, tree root intrusion and aging clay pipes are the leading causes of major backups in Springfield, particularly in neighborhoods with mature landscaping.

Will I have to call multiple plumbers myself?

No, that is the benefit of our service. We do the calling for you to confirm someone is available and ready to handle your specific drain issue today.
