Sewer Repair
Tree roots, cracked pipe and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
Roots in the sewer line, a water heater past its prime, a sump pump that hasn't been tested since last spring. A whole-home inspection catches them before they turn into an emergency. From our office on Main Street in Naperville.

The whole house, not just one fixture:
A check for roots, the top cause of backups in Naperville. A camera inspection if needed.
Age, leaks, relief valve and sediment, with a flush if due.
Test cycle, float, check valve, backup and where the sump discharges.
Faucets, toilets and shutoffs.
Pipes over the garage, along the rim joist and at spigots.
What's fine, what to watch and what needs attention.
The median Naperville home was built in 1990, and the City of Naperville's own advice for homes with root problems is yearly rodding.
Roots are the top cause of backups here. A yearly check keeps them from closing the line.
Water heaters, sump pumps and ejector pumps in 1980s through 2000s homes have all reached replacement age at least once.
The city wants sump pumps discharging outside, not into the sewer. We check yours during every visit.
A maintenance visit stays a maintenance visit.
Every system, shown to you.
What's fine and what's not.
Anything extra gets a flat price first.

"I've used J Blanton multiple times. They have helped identify a pipe with root growth through their No Drip Club. Mike Perez has done a great job walking me through all the steps to get the root out of my pipe and had to work through some very tough turns to identify the roots. [...]"
"Julian and Christian were out at my house today very nice and respectful boys they flushed out my water heater and inspected my sewer with a very fancy camera very helpful boys and they let me tell them some of my jokes"
"The No Drip club has been the best decision for our house ever! JB helps when things are going wrong but more importantly their proactive approach to service has saved us from some really poopy situations."
Once a year, especially if roots have been a problem.
Once a year is a good rule, and it's especially worth it if roots have caused backups before. Spring is ideal for the sump pump and sewer line.
The water heater, sump pump and ejector pump, then the sewer line.
Start with the equipment that wears out: the water heater, sump pump and, if you have a basement bathroom, the ejector pump. Then check the sewer line for roots.
