Drain Cleaning Process Lombard

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your drain situation and identify the type of blockage you’re dealing with. Different clogs require different approaches, and we use diagnostic tools to understand what’s actually happening in your pipes.

Next, we provide upfront pricing for the work needed. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start, with no hidden fees or surprise charges later.

Then we get to work with professional-grade equipment designed to clear tough blockages completely. We’re not just pushing the clog further down the line – we’re removing it entirely and cleaning the pipe walls to prevent quick re-clogging.

Finally, we test the drainage to make sure everything flows properly and explain what we found, so you understand what caused the problem and how to avoid it in the future.

Complete Drain Cleaning Solutions

Every Type of Drain Problem

We handle kitchen drains clogged with grease and food debris, bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap buildup, and sewer lines affected by tree roots or pipe deterioration. Floor drains, laundry drains, and main line blockages are all part of what we do.

Our equipment handles everything from simple clogs to complex blockages that have been building up for months. We use camera inspection when needed to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes, especially for recurring problems or main sewer line issues.

Emergency drain cleaning is available when you’re dealing with backups that can’t wait. We understand that some drain problems need immediate attention to prevent property damage or major disruption to your household.

Drain cleaning costs vary based on the type of blockage and which drains are affected. Simple kitchen or bathroom drain clogs typically cost less than main sewer line cleaning or emergency services. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know the exact cost before any work begins. Most standard drain cleaning falls within a predictable range, and we’ll explain what factors affect the price for your particular job. Emergency or after-hours service does carry additional charges, which we’ll discuss when you call.
Recurring clogs usually mean the original cleaning didn’t address the root cause. Sometimes the blockage gets pushed deeper into the pipe rather than completely removed, or there’s an underlying issue like pipe damage, improper slope, or tree root intrusion. Hair, grease buildup, and soap residue can also accumulate quickly if the pipe walls weren’t thoroughly cleaned. We use equipment that removes blockages completely and cleans pipe walls, not just creates a small opening through the clog. For persistent problems, camera inspection helps identify structural issues that need different solutions.
Most standard drain cleaning takes 30 minutes to an hour once we start working. Simple bathroom or kitchen drain clogs are usually cleared quickly, while main sewer line blockages or multiple affected drains take longer. The time also depends on how long the clog has been building up and what type of debris is causing the blockage. We’ll give you a time estimate after assessing your situation. Emergency calls may take longer due to the severity of blockages that require immediate attention, but we work efficiently to restore your drainage as quickly as possible.
We handle many drain problems that other companies couldn’t resolve completely. Often, previous attempts used inadequate equipment or didn’t address the actual cause of the blockage. We use professional-grade drain cleaning equipment and camera inspection technology to identify exactly what’s causing the problem. Some blockages require specialized tools or techniques that not all plumbing companies have available. Tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes, or severe buildup may need more advanced approaches than basic drain snaking. We’ll assess what previous work was attempted and determine the best method for your specific situation.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning for urgent situations that can’t wait for regular business hours. Sewer backups, multiple drain blockages, or situations where water damage is a concern qualify for emergency service. Emergency calls do carry additional charges due to after-hours availability and the urgent nature of the response. We’ll discuss emergency pricing when you call and let you know our estimated arrival time. Some emergency situations may require temporary solutions to prevent immediate damage, followed by more comprehensive cleaning during regular hours.
Chemical drain cleaners rarely solve the actual problem and can damage your pipes over time. They might create a small opening through soft clogs, but they don’t remove the buildup on pipe walls or address solid blockages like hair masses or tree roots. Professional drain cleaning physically removes the entire blockage and cleans the pipe interior, providing longer-lasting results. We can also identify underlying issues like pipe damage or improper installation that chemicals can’t fix. For tough clogs or recurring problems, professional equipment is necessary to actually clear the blockage rather than just temporarily improving drainage.
