The Most Common Drain Calls We Get

“The kitchen sink won’t drain.” Almost always grease and food waste. The coating builds inside the pipe until water can’t get through. We clear the line and, if the buildup is heavy, recommend jetting so the sink stays clear.

“The tub fills up when I shower.” Hair and soap scum have formed a plug in the drain or trap. These clear quickly with the right equipment, and a hair catcher helps keep them from returning.

“The toilet keeps clogging.” Too much paper, wipes or other items are the usual cause. If the toilet also gurgles when other drains run, the problem may be in the main line instead.

“There’s water in the basement by the floor drain.” That’s a main sewer line problem in most cases, and it’s urgent. Stop using water upstairs and call.

“Everything is draining slowly.” When several fixtures are slow at once, the main line is restricted. We clean it from a cleanout and often televise it to see why.

Residential Drain Cleaning in Carpentersville

We clean kitchen sinks, disposals, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, laundry standpipes, utility sinks, floor drains and main sewer lines. Our technicians use equipment matched to each line, work carefully inside your home and test every drain before they leave. You’ll always receive a free estimate before work begins, and if we televise the line, we’ll show you the footage.

Commercial Drain Cleaning in Carpentersville

Aqua Doctor Plumbing provides commercial drain cleaning for Carpentersville restaurants, retail stores, offices, industrial and warehouse facilities, schools, churches and multifamily properties. Commercial drains see far more use, and the consequences of a backup are bigger: closed restrooms, halted kitchens and unhappy tenants.

We work quickly to restore service, then help you understand why the line failed. Restaurants usually benefit from hydro jetting to remove grease. Industrial facilities often need floor and trench drains flushed of sediment. Apartment buildings need fast response when a shared line backs up. For any line that clogs predictably, we can schedule regular maintenance.

Power Rodding, Hydro Jetting and Televising

Power rodding

Our power rodding equipment drives a heavy cable with a cutting head through the line, breaking up blockages and cutting out roots. It’s the right first step for most main-line clogs. Take advantage of $89.99 power rodding with free televising, which includes a camera inspection.

Hydro jetting

Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the inside of the pipe, removing grease, scale, sediment and sludge. It’s the most thorough cleaning method and ideal for commercial kitchens and repeat clogs. Save $50 on hydro jetting.

Camera inspection

Televising the line reveals roots, cracks, sags and buildup. It helps us confirm a line is clear and decide whether it needs sewer or drain repair.

What to Expect From Our Technicians

Our technicians arrive prepared, listen to what you’ve noticed and explain what they plan to do before they begin. They choose the most direct access to the blockage, which for main lines usually means a cleanout, so fixtures don’t need to be removed. After the line is clear, they flush it and confirm it drains at full flow. If the camera shows roots, buildup or damage, they’ll point it out and explain your options. And they clean up before they leave.

Keeping Your Drains Healthy

• Keep grease, oil and fat out of the kitchen sink
• Use strainers and hair catchers
• Flush only toilet paper
• Clean lint traps and laundry filters regularly
• Call when a drain first slows down, before it stops completely

Chemical drain openers are a tempting shortcut, but they rarely clean the pipe and can be hard on older plumbing. If you’ve needed them more than once, the line needs a proper cleaning.
