Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Des Plaines property owners.
We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your Des Plaines property without any excavation.
Common warning signs for Des Plaines homeowners include multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, soggy patches in the lawn, and recurring drain backups. If you notice any of these, call us for a sewer camera inspection to diagnose the problem before it becomes a costly emergency.
Sewer line repair costs in Des Plaines typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 for standard residential repairs and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for full replacements. Factors include pipe material, depth, length of damaged section, and whether trenchless methods can be used. We provide free camera inspections with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.
Professional drain cleaning by trained technicians will not damage your pipes. Our Des Plaines crews select the appropriate equipment for your pipe material and condition — cable machines for tough clogs, hydro jetting for buildup, and gentle methods for older or fragile pipes. We always inspect before cleaning to avoid unnecessary risk.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Des Plaines, IL. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.
Trenchless sewer repair uses pipe lining or pipe bursting technology to fix damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It is faster, less disruptive, and often costs less than traditional excavation. Our Des Plaines crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.

"Called for a sewer camera inspection before buying a house. They found a cracked section of clay pipe and a tree root intrusion. Saved us from a very expensive surprise. Honest and thorough."
