Household Drains We Clean

• Kitchen sinks and disposals
• Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers
• Toilets that clog or gurgle
• Laundry and mudroom drains
• Basement and garage floor drains
• Main building drains and the line to the sewer or septic tank

Newer Subdivisions

Many Spring Grove homes are in subdivisions built within the past few decades. Their plastic drain lines resist corrosion, so most clogs come from what goes down the drain: grease in the kitchen, hair in the bathroom, wipes and toys in the toilet, and construction debris in recently finished basements. Trees planted when the neighborhoods were new have also grown enough that roots may now reach the sewer lateral. When several drains slow down at once or water appears at the floor drain, the main line needs attention.

Lake and River Properties

Homes near the lakes and river can have high groundwater that tests basements and sump systems in spring. Some older properties started as seasonal cottages and were later expanded, tying new plumbing into original lines that may be undersized or have transitions where debris catches. We clear and camera-inspect these lines so you know whether the issue is a clog, a pipe problem or water from saturated ground. We also service sump pumps and battery backups, with $50 off sump pumps and batteries.

Farms, Horse Properties and Septic Systems

Larger properties often have barns, stables, shops and wash areas with floor drains that take in mud, bedding, manure and sediment. We clear these drains and flush the lines with hydro jetting. Many rural homes use private septic systems. We clear and inspect the lines from the house toward the tank, and if the pipe is clear and symptoms continue, we’ll recommend a septic service. Drain cleaning does not include pumping the tank.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

We serve restaurants, shops, offices, churches, schools and other businesses in and around Spring Grove. We clear restroom and kitchen lines, jet grease from food-service drains and offer maintenance cleaning for lines that clog on a pattern.

Our Methods

Power rodding

For hard blockages and roots, we use power rodding: a motor-driven steel cable with a cutting head that chews through the obstruction. Ask for our $89.99 power rodding with free televising, which adds a camera look at the line.

Hydro jetting

Hydro jetting sends pressurized water through the pipe to wash grease, scale and sludge off the walls, so the line isn’t just open but clean. It’s currently $50 off hydro jetting.

Camera inspection

A waterproof camera on a push cable lets us see the inside of the line and show you what’s there, which is the first step in planning any sewer and drain repair.

Rodding, Jetting and When to Use Each

Power rodding physically cuts through a blockage, which makes it the first choice for paper clogs, foreign objects and root intrusion in a main line or a line to the septic tank. Hydro jetting washes the pipe walls clean, removing the grease, sludge and fine sediment that cause a line to clog again soon after it’s been opened. Kitchen lines and barn drains full of grit often need jetting; a root-bound lateral usually needs rodding first. Some stubborn lines benefit from both. We’ll explain the approach we recommend and give you the price before any work starts, and the camera inspection afterward shows the result.

Winter Freeze Concerns

Northern McHenry County winters are cold, and drain lines that run through unheated crawl spaces, garages or outbuildings can freeze. If a drain stops during a cold snap, don’t pour boiling water into plastic pipe. Call us and we’ll determine whether it’s ice or a clog.

What to Expect

We’ll ask about the symptoms, check the fixtures and locate a cleanout. You’ll get a free estimate before any work begins. After clearing the line, we test it with water, clean up and explain what we found, including whether a septic property’s problem appears to be in the line or in the tank and field.
