Family Homes and Everyday Clogs

In homes with kids, clogs often come from the unexpected: a toy flushed down the toilet, a wad of hair in the shower drain, a disposal overloaded with potato peels after a family dinner. We clear all of it. Our technicians regularly clean:

• Kitchen sinks and garbage disposals
• Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers
• Toilets, including clogs caused by toys and other objects
• Laundry drains that overflow when the washer pumps out
• Basement floor drains
• Main sewer lines

If a toilet won’t clear with a plunger, stop plunging before water spills over. Forcing an object further down can lodge it deeper in the line. We can retrieve or clear it with the right tools.

Subdivision Homes and Main Line Backups

Many homes in the area were built in planned subdivisions over the past few decades. Their plumbing is typically in good shape, but main lines can still clog from grease, wipes and paper buildup, and trees planted when the neighborhood was new have now grown large enough to send roots toward sewer laterals. When several drains slow at once or water appears at the basement floor drain, the main line is the likely culprit. Power rodding clears it, and a camera inspection shows whether roots or a pipe defect is involved.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

We serve restaurants, retail stores, offices, medical offices, schools, churches, daycares, warehouses and rental properties in and around Lake in the Hills. We clear restroom and kitchen lines, jet grease from food-service drains and flush sediment from floor drains. Businesses with recurring issues can schedule maintenance cleaning to prevent downtime.

How We Clean Drains

Power rodding

Power rodding spins a cutting head on a heavy cable through the pipe to break up clogs and cut roots. Our $89.99 power rodding with free televising special includes a camera inspection.

Hydro jetting

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scrub grease, soap scum and sludge from the pipe walls. It’s excellent for recurring clogs and kitchen lines. Save $50 on hydro jetting.

Camera inspection

A camera inspection shows roots, cracks, offsets and buildup so we can recommend maintenance or sewer and drain repair.

What Happens When Our Technician Arrives

We start by listening. Which drains are slow? When did it begin? Has it happened before? Those answers usually tell us whether the problem is a single branch line or the main drain. We check the affected fixtures, find an accessible cleanout and give you a free estimate before any work begins. After the line is cleared, we run water through it to confirm it’s flowing at full capacity, then clean up the work area. Before we leave, we explain what caused the clog, whether it’s likely to return, and whether a camera inspection or maintenance cleaning would be worthwhile. There’s no pressure; you decide what makes sense for your home.

Rental Properties

Landlords and property managers need drains cleared fast so tenants aren’t left without a working kitchen or bathroom. We respond quickly and can tell you whether a clog was caused by something a tenant flushed or by a problem with the pipe, which helps you decide on next steps and responsibility.

Sump Pumps and Basement Protection

Basements in the area often rely on sump pumps to keep groundwater out. A failed pump during a storm can look like a drain backup, and a drain backup can look like a pump failure. We can check both. We service sump pumps and batteries and offer $50 off sump pumps and batteries.

Preventing Clogs

• Put hair catchers in kids’ showers and tubs
• Teach everyone that only toilet paper goes in the toilet
• Keep grease, pasta, rice and peels out of the disposal
• Run cold water after using the disposal
• Have slow drains cleaned before they stop completely

Why Chemical Drain Openers Aren’t the Answer

Liquid drain cleaners may loosen soft buildup near the drain opening, but they can’t remove hardened grease, roots or objects, and they leave caustic water standing if the drain is fully blocked.

Warning Signs

• Gurgling toilets or drains
• Water rising in the tub when a toilet is flushed
• Water around the basement floor drain
• Sewer odors
• More than one slow drain
