Comprehensive Drain & Sewer Solutions We Offer
Understanding the cause and best solution for a drain or sewer problem requires expertise. That's why we provide a range of specialized services tailored to address different types of issues, from surface-level clogs to deep underground sewer line concerns.
Drain Cleaning
Clogged drains are among the most common plumbing problems homeowners face. Whether it's a kitchen sink struggling with grease and food particles, a bathroom drain slowed by hair and soap scum, or a toilet that frequently backs up, a blocked drain is a clear signal that professional help is needed. Attempting DIY solutions often only provides temporary relief or can even damage your pipes.
Our drain cleaning services effectively clear blockages and restore proper flow. We utilize various techniques, from traditional snaking for simple clogs to more advanced methods for stubborn blockages. A professional cleaning not only removes the immediate obstruction but also helps prevent future clogs by thoroughly clearing away buildup within the pipes.
- Special Offer: We offer an $89 Drain Cleaning & Camera Inspection. This service includes a Plumbing & Drain Safety Inspection and is designed for residential properties with accessible cleanouts. It's an excellent way to get a thorough assessment and clearing of basic clogs at a transparent price.
Sewer Camera Inspection
Diagnosing the exact cause and location of a drain or sewer problem can be challenging without seeing inside the pipes. Sewer camera inspection involves sending a small, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable into your drain or sewer line. This allows our technicians to see the condition of the pipes in real-time, identifying issues such as blockages, cracks, tree root intrusion, corrosion, or sagging sections.
A camera inspection provides a precise diagnosis, eliminating guesswork and allowing us to recommend the most effective and targeted repair or cleaning strategy. It's essential for determining the severity of the problem and can be crucial before purchasing a home to assess the condition of the sewer line. The $89 offer often includes this vital diagnostic step, giving you peace of mind and a clear understanding of your system's health.
Pipe Repair
Over time, pipes can deteriorate, crack, or collapse due to various factors, including age, shifting soil, or root growth. Damaged pipes can lead to leaks, reduced water pressure, or even sewage backups. Pipe repair addresses these issues by repairing or replacing damaged sections of pipe to restore the integrity and function of your plumbing or sewer system.
Depending on the location and extent of the damage, pipe repair can involve excavation or less intrusive methods. Our technicians are skilled in identifying pipe damage and recommending the most appropriate repair solution for your specific situation, minimizing disruption and ensuring a lasting fix.
Trenchless Sewer Repair & Replacement
Traditionally, repairing or replacing a damaged sewer line involved extensive excavation, digging a trench across your yard to access the pipe. This process can be disruptive, costly, and damaging to landscaping, driveways, and walkways. Trenchless sewer repair and replacement offers a less invasive alternative.
Using advanced techniques like pipe bursting or pipe lining, we can repair or replace a sewer line with minimal digging, typically requiring only one or two access points. This method saves time, reduces labor costs, preserves your property's appearance, and provides a durable, long-lasting solution for issues like cracks, breaks, or root-damaged pipes.
Hydro-Jetting
For tough clogs and significant buildup within pipes, including grease, scale, and sediment that snaking may not fully remove, hydro-jetting is a powerful solution. This technique uses high-pressure water streams directed through the pipe to blast away blockages and thoroughly clean the interior surfaces.
Hydro-jetting is highly effective for clearing stubborn clogs and is also valuable for preventative maintenance, particularly in kitchen lines prone to grease buildup. It leaves pipes exceptionally clean, restoring their full capacity and reducing the likelihood of future clogs forming quickly.
Snaking (Cable Augering)
Snaking, also known as cable augering, is a fundamental technique used for clearing many common drain clogs. A flexible cable is inserted into the drain and guided through the pipe to reach and break up or retrieve blockages like hair, soap scum, or minor foreign objects.
While effective for many clogs, snaking primarily punches a hole through the blockage to restore flow rather than completely cleaning the pipe walls. As noted in maintenance recommendations, regular snaking (annually or biennially) can be particularly beneficial, especially for older clay pipes where roots may enter at joints, helping to manage root growth before it causes a major blockage. It's a quick and often cost-effective solution for immediate clogs.
Common Signs You Need Drain or Sewer Service
Recognizing the early signs of drain or sewer problems can save you from more significant issues down the line. Be aware of these common indicators:
- Slow Drains: Water takes a long time to drain in sinks, tubs, or showers.
- Gurgling Sounds: Gurgling noises coming from drains or toilets, often after flushing or using water elsewhere in the house.
- Unpleasant Odors: Foul smells emanating from drains, particularly a sewage odor, which could indicate a blockage or sewer line problem.
- Water Backups: Water or sewage backing up into sinks, toilets, or tubs.
- Multiple Clogged Fixtures: If several drains in your home are clogged or slow, it often points to a problem in a main drain line or the sewer line.
- Wet Spots or Lush Patches in Yard: Unexplained wet areas or unusually green, lush patches of grass in your yard could indicate a leaking underground sewer line.
If you notice any of these signs in your Willowbrook home, it's time to call a professional. Ignoring these warnings can lead to worsening conditions and more complex, expensive repairs.

Consider our $89 Drain Cleaning & Camera Inspection offer for routine check-ups.
