Know the Signs
When to Call for Drain Cleaning
Call when plunging doesn't clear it, when the same drain clogs again within weeks or when a drain smells like sewer. Watch where it happens, too. A single slow sink is a local clog. If the floor drain gurgles when the washer drains, or the tub fills when the toilet flushes, the main line is involved and needs sewer rodding.
Clogged Drain Repair in Naperville
Most clogs come from everyday things: hair and soap in bathrooms, grease and food in the kitchen, lint in the laundry. We clear them with a cable sized for the pipe and show you what came out.
Naperville homes often have several bathrooms on two or three floors, so a single clog can hide in a long run of pipe. If the same drain keeps clogging, a camera look tells us whether it's buildup that needs hydro jetting or a problem further down.
Kitchen Sink Drain Unclogging
Grease is the main reason kitchen sinks clog, and the City of Naperville lists it among the common causes of sewer blockages too. It goes down warm, hardens in the pipe and catches food and soap until the sink stops draining.
If water fills the other bowl or the dishwasher drains into the sink, the clog is past the trap. We clear it with a cable, check the line toward the main and show you what was in it. If the disposal is involved, see garbage disposal repair.
Why Drains Clog in Naperville Homes
The median Naperville home was built in 1990. These drains rarely fail from age. They clog from use and from roots outside.
Long Runs in Big Homes
Two-story homes with bathrooms on every floor have long drain runs and a lot of turns. Clogs start at the turns.
Basement Laundry and Floor Drains
Lint from years of laundry builds up in the floor drain and the line below it.
Roots in the Main Line
If several drains slow down together, roots are the likely cause. The city calls them the top cause of backups. That's sewer drain clearing.
Wipes in Kids' Bathrooms
Busy family bathrooms are where so-called flushable wipes cause the most trouble. They don't break down, and they catch on hair and grease until the line closes.
Sewer Drain Clearing
When every drain slows down at once or water comes up through the basement floor drain, the clog is in the main sewer drain. Clearing it takes a machine that can run the full line from the cleanout to the city main.
We clear the line, then camera it so you can see the cause. In Naperville, homeowners maintain the line to the main. The camera shows whether it's roots, a sag or a crack. Repeat clogs get a plan: sewer rodding every year, hydro jetting or a sewer repair.

Drain Cleaning Questions From Naperville Homeowners
It depends on where the clog is and what caused it. You get a flat price first.
It depends on where the clog is, how deep in the line and what's causing it. A sink is a different job than a main line. You get a flat price before any work begins.
Probably not. One fixture backing up usually means a local clog inside the house.
Probably not. If only one sink, tub or toilet is backing up and everything else drains fine, the clog is usually in that fixture's line. If several drains or the floor drain are involved, it's the main line.
Yes. They don't break down like toilet paper and are a common cause of clogs.
Yes. Despite the label, wipes don't break down like toilet paper. They tangle with roots and grease and build into a plug. Naperville asks residents to throw them in the trash.
When plunging fails, it keeps coming back or several drains are slow.
When a plunger doesn't clear it, the clog keeps coming back or more than one drain is slow. Those mean the problem is past what a store-bought fix can handle.
Yes, when a clog keeps coming back. It clears the cause, not just the symptom.
If a clog comes back within days, or several drains are slow, store-bought fixes are only masking the problem. Professional cleaning reaches the actual cause, which costs less than dealing with a backup or water damage later.
