Your Drains Working Like New Again

When your drains are flowing freely, your daily routine gets back to normal. No more standing water in the shower while you’re trying to get ready for work. No more kitchen sinks that back up when you’re doing dishes after dinner.

You get drains that actually drain. Water flows down fast and stays down. The gurgling stops. The bad smells disappear. Your pipes work the way they’re supposed to work.

That’s what happens when drain cleaning is done right the first time. You’re not dealing with the same clog again next month. You’re not calling another plumber because the problem came back. Your drains work, and they keep working.

Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain to find out what’s actually causing the problem. We use camera inspection when needed to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. No guessing, no assumptions.

Next, we clear the blockage using the right method for your specific situation. Sometimes it’s professional-grade snaking. Sometimes it’s hydro jetting for stubborn buildup. We match the solution to the problem.

Then we test everything to make sure water flows properly and the clog is completely gone. We clean up our work area and explain what we found, what we did, and how to prevent the same problem from happening again. You get drains that work and the knowledge to keep them working.

Our drain cleaning service covers every drain in your West Chicago home. Kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, shower drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines. We handle grease buildup, hair clogs, soap scum, and whatever else is slowing down your drains.

You get professional equipment that homeowner tools can’t match. Our drain cameras show us exactly where the problem is. Our high-pressure water jetting removes years of buildup. Our professional-grade snakes reach clogs that store-bought alternatives can’t touch.

We also provide honest advice about your plumbing. If your drains keep clogging because of an underlying issue, we’ll tell you. If simple maintenance can prevent future problems, we’ll explain how. You get the service you need and the information to make smart decisions about your plumbing.

Drain cleaning costs depend on the location and severity of the clog. Simple sink or shower drain cleaning typically runs $150-$300. Main sewer line cleaning costs more because it requires specialized equipment and takes longer. We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges when the job is done. Emergency service and after-hours calls may include additional fees, which we’ll explain when you call.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 1-2 hours from start to finish. Simple clogs in sinks or showers often clear within 30-45 minutes. More complex blockages or main sewer line issues can take 2-3 hours, especially if we need to use camera inspection or hydro jetting equipment. We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess your specific situation. The goal is to do the job thoroughly, not just quickly, so your drains stay clear after we leave.
Yes, and recurring clogs usually mean there’s an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. Sometimes it’s buildup deep in the pipes that partial cleaning doesn’t reach. Sometimes it’s a damaged pipe or root intrusion. We use camera inspection to find out why your drains keep clogging, then recommend the right solution. This might be thorough hydro jetting, pipe repair, or changes to prevent future buildup. Fixing the root cause stops the cycle of repeated clogs.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning when you have urgent situations like sewage backup, multiple drains backing up, or drains that are causing water damage. We respond quickly to prevent property damage and health hazards. Emergency service is available evenings, weekends, and holidays, though emergency calls include additional fees. For non-emergency clogs like slow-draining sinks, regular scheduling is usually fine and costs less than emergency service.
Snaking uses a flexible cable to break through clogs and pull out debris. It works well for hair clogs, small objects, and localized blockages. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean pipe walls, removing grease buildup, soap scum, and mineral deposits. Hydro jetting is more thorough and lasts longer, but costs more and isn’t needed for every situation. We recommend the method that makes sense for your specific drain problem and budget.
Regular maintenance prevents most drain problems. Don’t put grease down kitchen drains – let it solidify and throw it in the trash. Use drain screens to catch hair in bathroom drains. Run hot water after each use to help clear soap and debris. Avoid chemical drain cleaners that can damage your pipes over time. For homes with frequent clogs, professional cleaning every 1-2 years removes buildup before it becomes a problem. We’ll give you specific maintenance tips based on your plumbing and the types of clogs you’ve had.
