Bolingbrook Plumber

To prevent clogs in your drains and maintain their cleanliness, you should avoid pouring grease, oil, or food scraps down the drain. Use drain strainers to catch hair and debris, and regularly flush drains with hot water and vinegar to break down buildup. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage pipes.

Signs that indicate your sewer line needs maintenance include slow draining sinks or toilets, gurgling noises coming from drains, foul odors coming from drains, sewage backups, and pooling water around the sewer line.

The most common types of plumbing repairs that our company handles include leaky faucets, clogged drains, running toilets, water heater issues, and pipe leaks.

If you have tried using a plunger or a drain snake and the clog persists, or if you notice multiple drains in your home are slow or clogged, it is best to contact a professional plumber for drain cleaning services. Persistent clogs or multiple affected drains may indicate a more serious blockage that requires professional expertise to resolve effectively.
