Drain Cleaning in Fox Lake, IL

Aqua Doctor Plumbing is based at 25380 Main St in Round Lake, a short drive from Fox Lake, which makes it easy for us to get to your home or business when a drain stops working.

Residential Drain Cleaning in Fox Lake

We clean kitchen sinks and disposals, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, laundry drains, utility sinks, floor drains and main sewer lines. When one fixture is slow, the clog is usually close to it: grease in a kitchen line, hair in a shower, too much paper in a toilet. When several fixtures slow down together, or water appears at the lowest drain in the house, the main line needs attention.

We use equipment sized for each job, work carefully inside your home and test every line before we leave. When we televise, you’ll see exactly what was in the pipe.

Seasonal and part-time homes

Homes that sit empty for stretches can develop drain issues that don’t show up until they’re back in use: dried-out traps that let sewer gas in, or a restriction that goes unnoticed until guests arrive and the drains get busy. If a seasonal home has slow drains or odors when you open it up, we can clear the lines and check the main before a busy weekend.

Commercial Drain Cleaning in Fox Lake

Restaurants, bars, shops, rental properties, churches and other businesses in Fox Lake see traffic rise and fall with the seasons, and their drains need to keep up on the busiest days. Aqua Doctor Plumbing provides commercial drain cleaning that restores service quickly and helps prevent the next backup.

Restaurant and bar kitchens accumulate grease that hydro jetting removes thoroughly. Restroom lines in busy businesses clog from paper and foreign objects. Rental properties need prompt service to keep guests and tenants happy. For lines that load up predictably, particularly before a busy season, we can schedule a cleaning in advance.

How We Clean Drains

Power rodding. Power rodding drives a cable with a cutting head through the pipe to break up blockages and cut out roots. It’s the fastest fix for most main-line clogs. Our $89.99 power rodding with free televising special includes a camera inspection.

Hydro jetting. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, scale and sludge from the pipe walls. It’s the thorough solution for kitchen lines and repeat clogs. Save $50 on hydro jetting.

Camera inspection. Televising shows roots, cracks, sags and buildup, so you know what’s happening inside the line and whether sewer or drain repair is needed.

Getting Ready for a Busy Season

If your household or business sees a surge of activity at certain times of year, like summer weekends or holidays, it’s worth having problem drains cleaned before the rush rather than during it. A pre-season cleaning, especially for kitchen lines and main sewer lines that have given trouble before, can prevent the kind of backup that ruins a holiday weekend or forces a restaurant to close a restroom on its busiest night.

What to Expect

We ask what’s happening, inspect the drains involved and choose the best access point. You’ll get a free estimate before we begin. After clearing the line, we confirm it drains properly and review any camera footage with you. If we recommend further work, we explain why and leave the decision to you.

Warning Signs

• Several slow drains at once
• Gurgling toilets or sinks
