Professional Drain Cleaning for Chicago Homes

Is your toilet, shower, or kitchen sink draining slowly? Hair, toilet paper, grease, and personal care products build up inside your pipes over time, causing backups, unpleasant odors, and long-term plumbing damage. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners may offer a temporary fix, but they can also harm your pipes. Our Chicago drain cleaning experts start with a thorough inspection to find the real cause, then clear the clog and make any needed repairs so your drains flow freely again.

 

Repiping for Older Chicago Homes

Many Chicago homes were built decades ago, and their original pipes may be nearing the end of their lifespan. If your home is several decades old, it may be time to consider repiping. Even if you haven’t noticed warning signs like leaks, low water pressure, or rusty water, there may be damage hidden behind your walls. Replacing old galvanized or deteriorating pipes protects your home from costly water damage and helps keep your water clean and safe.

 

If you’re planning a renovation, repiping at the same time can save you money and effort. Learn more about updating older homes in our guide to vintage Chicago bathroom plumbing remodels.

 

Innovative Sewer Line Cleaning

After more than 30 years in the industry, we’ve seen how other Chicago plumbers clean sewer lines, and we knew there was a better way. That’s why we developed our own “progressive rodding” technique for sewer line cleaning. We access your sewer line, then use progressively larger rods to completely remove built-up minerals, debris, roots, and clogs. The result is a cleaner sewer line and longer-lasting results than standard cleaning methods.

 

Sump Pump Services From Licensed Chicago Plumbers

Your sump pump is your basement’s first line of defense against flooding, water damage, mold, and rot, which is especially important during Chicago’s heavy spring rains and snowmelt. Our plumbers handle every part of sump pump service, including:

 

• Sump pump installation
• Regular inspections
• Sump pump repair
• Preventative maintenance

 

If your sump pump is running constantly, making strange noises, or not turning on at all, call us right away for fast, professional service.
