Established Homes and Mature Trees

Many La Grange Park homes have stood for decades on streets shaded by large trees. That combination is a common recipe for main line trouble. Older sewer laterals are often clay or cast iron: clay pipe has joints where roots can slip in, and cast iron builds up rough interior scale that snags paper and grease. Once roots get inside, they spread into a mat that catches waste until the line backs up, usually first at the basement floor drain. Power rodding with a root-cutting head clears the line, and a camera inspection shows where roots are entering and how extensive the growth is, so you can choose between periodic rodding and a sewer and drain repair.

Residential Drains We Clean

• Kitchen sinks and garbage disposals
• Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers
• Toilets that clog, gurgle or overflow
• Basement laundry tubs and washer drains
• Basement floor drains
• Main building drains and sewer laterals

We diagnose before we clean. One slow sink or tub usually has a clog in its own trap or branch line. Several slow drains at once, a toilet that bubbles when the tub drains, or water rising at the floor drain point to the main line.

Remodeled Kitchens and Baths

Older homes are often updated with new kitchens, bathrooms and finished basements while the original drain lines stay in place underneath. Where new plumbing ties into old cast iron or clay, changes in pipe size and material can leave a ledge that catches grease and hair. If a remodeled room drains slowly or clogs repeatedly, we check that transition first, and a camera can confirm what’s there.

Condominiums and Multi-Unit Buildings

In condo and apartment buildings, units share drain stacks and a common building drain. A clog in a shared section backs up at the lowest opening, often a ground-floor unit that didn’t cause it. We trace the blockage to the right section of pipe, clear it and verify flow in each affected unit. For associations and property managers, we document the cause and can schedule periodic cleaning of main lines to cut down on emergency calls.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

We also serve restaurants, cafés, shops, offices, medical practices, churches, schools and other businesses in and around La Grange Park. We clear restroom and kitchen lines, remove grease with hydro jetting and set up maintenance cleaning for lines that clog on a pattern. Work is scheduled around your hours whenever possible.

Power Rodding, Hydro Jetting and Camera Inspection

Power rodding

Power rodding uses a heavy steel cable with a rotating cutting head to break apart blockages and cut out roots. 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, restoring the line’s full diameter. It works especially well on scaled cast iron and kitchen lines. Save $50 on hydro jetting.

Camera inspection

A sewer camera shows roots, cracks, offset joints, sags and buildup inside the line, so recommendations are based on what’s actually in the pipe.

Basement Floor Drains and Heavy Rain

The basement floor drain is the lowest opening in most older homes, so it’s where a main line clog appears first. Water rising there when the washing machine empties is an early warning. During severe storms, water can also come up through a floor drain when the system is overwhelmed. We clear and inspect your line so you know whether your own pipe is part of the problem, and we service sump pumps with $50 off sump pumps and batteries.

What to Expect

We’ll ask which drains are affected and when it started, check the fixtures and locate a cleanout. You’ll receive a free estimate before any work begins. After clearing the line, we run water to confirm full flow, clean up and explain what we found.

Warning Signs

• Water at the basement floor drain during laundry
• Gurgling toilets or tubs
• Several slow drains at the same time
• Sewer odor in the lower level
• Main line clogs that return every few months
