Residential Drain Cleaning

Every home has a few drains that clog more than others. We clean them all:

• Kitchen sinks where grease and food waste collect
• Bathroom sinks and showers slowed by hair
• Toilets that won’t flush or clog frequently
• Laundry drains that overflow
• Basement floor drains
• Main sewer lines that back up into the lowest fixtures

Homes Near the Water

Properties near lakes and low areas often deal with high groundwater, and that affects how a basement handles water. A floor drain backing up during a storm may be a clog in your line, or it may be the ground and the system being saturated. Cleaning and camera inspection tell you which. Homes that rely on a sump pump should make sure it’s in good shape before the wet season. We service sump pumps and offer $50 off sump pumps and batteries.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

We serve restaurants, bars, shops, offices, churches, schools and rental properties in and around Island Lake. Restaurant grease lines benefit from hydro jetting, and landlords can call us to clear shared lines quickly so tenants aren’t without plumbing. We also offer maintenance cleaning for lines that clog on a predictable schedule.

The Right Tool for Each Clog

Power rodding

Power rodding cuts through clogs and roots with a spinning blade on a heavy cable. Our $89.99 power rodding with free televising special includes a camera inspection.

Hydro jetting

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean grease and sludge off the pipe walls. Save $50 on hydro jetting.

Camera inspection

Our camera shows what’s inside the line, whether it’s roots, a sag, a crack or buildup, so we can recommend cleaning or sewer and drain repair.

Rental Properties and Landlords

A backed-up drain in a rental means a tenant call and pressure to fix it fast. We work with landlords and property managers to clear drains quickly, and we can tell you whether the clog was caused by something flushed or by a problem with the pipe. That information helps you decide what to address and who is responsible.

Signs You Need a Plumber

• A plunger no longer works
• Gurgling noises from drains
• Bad odors in the basement
• Water rising in a floor drain
• Several fixtures slow at once

Branch Line or Main Line?

The pattern of symptoms tells us where to look. A single slow sink or tub usually has a blockage in its own trap or branch line, and a targeted cleaning fixes it. When several fixtures slow down at once, when a toilet bubbles as the washer empties, or when water rises at the basement floor drain, the main building drain is blocked. That line has to be cleared from a cleanout with power equipment; plunging an upstairs fixture won’t reach it.

Septic or Sewer

Depending on location, an Island Lake-area property may connect to a sewer or rely on a septic system. We clean the drain lines in the house and the line leaving the building either way. If the evidence points to the tank or field, we’ll recommend a septic service. Drain cleaning does not include pumping the tank.

What to Expect

We’ll ask which drains are affected and when it started, check the fixtures and find a cleanout. You’ll get a free estimate before any work begins. After clearing the line, we run water to confirm full flow, clean up and explain the cause. If a camera inspection or maintenance cleaning would help, we’ll tell you why.

Keeping Drains Clear

• Keep grease out of the kitchen sink
• Flush only toilet paper
• Use strainers and hair catchers
• Test your sump pump before the wet season
