Sewer Line Cleaning and Rodding in Hanover Park, IL
When the basement floor drain backs up or all the drains slow down at once, the main line is clogged. We rod it clear, show you the cause on camera and price it before we start. Our office is on Greenbrook Boulevard.
The Basics
What Is Sewer Rodding?
Sewer rodding clears a blocked main line with a long, flexible steel cable fed through a cleanout access point. A cutting head on the end breaks through roots, grease, and debris and pushes the blockage toward the street connection, restoring flow through the pipe. It's the standard first fix for a clogged or backed-up sewer line. For most homes, it's the only fix needed.
Signs Your Hanover Park Main Drain Is Clogged
Look for:
Water at the Floor Drain
The lowest drain fills first.
Slow Drains Everywhere
The blockage is below them all.
The Toilet Bubbles When the Washer Drains
Water has nowhere to go.
A Sewer Smell
From the floor drain or cleanout.
What Clogs Main Lines in Hanover Park
Most homes here are 35 to 55 years old, and the clogs show it.
Roots
From trees planted when the subdivisions were new.
Low Spots
Where settled pipe holds paper and grease.
Wipes and Grease
Even 'flushable' wipes don't break down.
When It Keeps Happening
Hydro jetting or a repair lasts longer.

When Rodding Is Enough, and When It Isn't
Rodding is the right first step for most Hanover Park backups. It's quick and opens the line so the house can drain again. The camera pass afterward is what tells you whether to stop there. If the pipe looks sound and the clog was paper or a small root, you're done. If roots fill a joint, a low spot holds water or a section is cracked, the clog will come back. That's when we talk about jetting, a maintenance schedule or a repair.

Sewer Cleaning Questions From Hanover Park Homeowners

If roots have blocked it before, once a year. Otherwise, only when needed.
Roots, a low spot or a break.
Usually roots, a settled low spot or a cracked section. A camera shows which.
We recommend it.
We recommend it. It tells you whether the line just needed cleaning or needs a repair.
No.
No. Rodding cuts a path through the clog. Jetting scours the whole pipe wall.
You can, but it's risky.
You can, but rental machines can get stuck or damage older pipe, and you won't see what caused the clog. A camera pass is the part most people skip.
Often in the basement or near the foundation outside.
In most Hanover Park homes, it's a capped pipe in the basement floor or near the foundation outside. We'll find it if you can't.
It depends on access and the clog. You'll approve a flat price first.
It depends on access, the length of the line and the blockage. You'll approve a flat-rate price before we start.
