Neighborhood Homes and Everyday Clogs

Most homes in Round Lake Heights are single-family houses in established neighborhoods. The clogs we clear here are the kind every busy household runs into: grease and food scraps in the kitchen sink, hair in the shower, wipes and too much paper in the toilet, and lint in the laundry drain. When one fixture is slow, the problem is usually close to that drain. When several slow down together, when a toilet gurgles as the tub drains, or when water shows up at the basement floor drain, the main line is partly blocked, and that’s where we focus.

Lakes, Groundwater and Basements

The Round Lake area is dotted with lakes and low ground, and properties in areas like this can see high groundwater during wet seasons. That makes it harder to tell whether water at a floor drain is a clog in your line or simply saturated soil. We clear and camera-inspect the line to rule out a blockage, and if the line is sound, we can check your sump pump and battery backup. We offer $50 off sump pumps and batteries.

Landlords and Rentals

For rental property owners, a drain call usually comes with a tenant waiting. Because we’re close by, we can often respond quickly. We clear the drain and tell you whether the cause was something that went down it, such as grease or wipes, or a problem with the pipe, such as roots or a sag. That helps you decide what to fix and how to talk with your tenant about prevention.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

We serve restaurants, shops, offices, churches, schools, daycares and other businesses in and around Round Lake Heights. We clear restroom and kitchen lines, jet grease from food-service drains and offer maintenance cleaning for lines that clog on a regular basis.

Our Methods

Power rodding

With power rodding, a heavy-duty cable turns a cutting head through the pipe, tearing apart blockages and roots. It’s included in our $89.99 power rodding with free televising special along with a camera inspection.

Hydro jetting

Hydro jetting is the deep clean: high-pressure water scrubs grease, soap scum and sediment from the inside of the line. You can save $50 on hydro jetting.

Camera inspection

Our inspection camera lets you see the pipe the way we do, including roots, cracks, bellies and buildup, before deciding on maintenance or a sewer and drain repair.

Choosing Between Rodding and Jetting

The right tool depends on what’s blocking the line. Power rodding physically cuts through obstructions, so it’s the usual choice for paper clogs, objects and roots in the main line. Hydro jetting washes away the grease, soap scum and sludge that coat pipe walls and cause lines to clog again soon after they’re opened, which makes it ideal for kitchen lines and recurring problems. Some lines benefit from both: rodding to open them, then jetting to clean them thoroughly. A camera inspection afterward confirms the result. We’ll explain what we recommend and give you the price before any work starts.

What to Expect

We’ll ask which drains are affected and when the problem 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 through it to verify full flow, clean up and explain what we found. If a camera inspection or maintenance would help, we’ll tell you why.

Simple Prevention

• Throw cooled grease in the trash, not the sink
• Use strainers in sinks and hair catchers in showers
• Flush only toilet paper
• Put a lint catcher on the washer discharge hose
• Skip chemical drain openers

And if a drain has been slow for weeks, don’t wait for it to stop completely. A planned cleaning is quicker, cheaper and far less stressful than an overflow.

Warning Signs

• Several slow drains at once
• Gurgling toilets or tubs
• Water at the basement floor drain
• Sewer odors
• Recurring clogs
