Our Services
Clogged Drain Repair
A clogged drain is not just inconvenient; if it’s not taken care of properly the first time it can happen again. Leave your clogged drain repairs to J. Blanton Plumbing, your local Chicago plumber. We will fix it fast and fix it right.
Drain Snake
Using a professional cable drain cleaner, we can get deep into the pipe to find and break up the clog. Our drain snake is much longer and more powerful than what is sold at home improvement stores, making it easier to get to those clogs deep inside pipes.
Hydro Jetter
Some clogs need more power than a simple drain snake, so that’s when we recommended a more powerful solution. A hydro jetter uses a high-pressure water stream to break up tough clogs and send the debris through the pipes, clearing them completely.

While we have had to call J Blanton Plumbing a number of times for major and minor problems, planned renovations and a few 'emergencies', I learn something new and useful every time. Our most recent call for pumping out the catch basin is a good example. J Blanton Plumbing promptly scheduled an appointment for a meeting with the chief sewer tech, Andrew. Between us, we worked out a sketch of how the catch basin was originally designed, and how it is supposed to work. Andrew has long experience with the in's and out's of catch basins, and prepared a couple of written estimates, with recommendations on what should be done, ASAP, and what could be done longer term. Our building committee was able to quickly understand the work to be done, and it's cost and agreed to proceed with the most important work. J Blanton Plumbing again promptly scheduled a date for a "pump-out". The day before and on the scheduled date, I got updates for what time the work would begin. Since the work involved a 3rd party service for a vacuum tank truck, a tech from J Blanton Plumbing was here to manage to their work. Immediately following the "pump-out", Andrew and another tech came to inspect the work, using a fiber-optic water-proof camera, showing me the condition of our sewer lines. The work was done on time, and on budget. Did I mention the No-Drip-Club? It includes an annual home inspection, and offers discounted services. Going forward, our building now has better information for budgeting basic maintenance, in the hope of avoiding some of those unplanned emergencies.8/14/19read less

They were able to successfully clear a drain clog that was causing water to back up into the garden apartment in our building and they put a camera down our drain tiles lines and let me watch as they confirmed what was going on down there. Highly recommended and I would definitely use their services again.read less
