Drain Cleaning
Clogged kitchen sinks, slow bathroom drains and backed-up basement floor drains.
A restaurant on Davis Street, a cafe on Main Street or a shop on Central Street. When the water heater fails, business stops. We repair, replace and maintain commercial water heaters across Evanston. Our Evanston office is on Orrington Avenue, downtown.

Including:
Hot water from open to close.
Back-to-back appointments.
Restrooms and break rooms.
Showers in constant use.
For the life of the equipment:
Diagnosed and priced first.
Sized to your peak demand.
Flushing, descaling and safety checks.

Our office is on Orrington Avenue, in the middle of downtown Evanston.
We also clear kitchen drains and grease lines.
Evanston's water leaves scale in commercial tanks and tankless units. Regular descaling protects them.
Our line is open 24/7.
Flat-rate pricing.
Shops downstairs and apartments upstairs often share systems. We trace the piping first.
A restaurant kitchen uses hot water constantly: handwashing, prep sinks, dish machines and cleanup. Health codes set temperatures for some of these, and a heater that can't keep up shows up fast during a busy service. We size commercial heaters around peak demand, not average use, and keep them running with scheduled flushing and descaling. When grease is part of the problem downstream, we clear and jet those lines too.
Evanston's businesses range from busy restaurants downtown to salons on Central Street and shops along Main Street and Chicago Avenue. Many work out of older buildings where the water heater was added long after the building went up. We trace the piping, check the venting and keep a record of each unit, so repairs are faster and replacements can be planned.
Capacity, fuel and venting drive most of the price. Older downtown buildings can add steps, like tracing unusual piping or upgrading venting to meet current code. Getting equipment in and out of a basement or back room matters too. We look at all of it and quote one flat price before work starts.
