Drain Cleaning
Slow, gurgling or backed-up drains in kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
In a subdivision where every house was built in the same few years, the plumbing tends to wear out on the same schedule. A whole-home inspection tells you what's close to the end before it fails. From our office on 185th Street.

A maintenance visit looks at the whole house:
Age, leaks, the relief valve and sediment, plus a flush if it's due. See water heater repair.
A test cycle, the float, check valve and backup. See sump pumps.
Slow drains, gurgling and a camera inspection if anything looks off.
Faucets, toilets, shutoffs and supply lines.
Freeze risk in garages, crawl spaces and spigot lines.
What's fine, what to watch and what needs attention now.
The median Tinley Park home was built in 1987, and about 87% are owner-occupied. Equipment that came with the house is past its expected life in most of them.
Water heaters last about 8 to 12 years and sump pumps around 7 to 10. A home from the 1980s or 1990s may be on its third heater and second or third sump pump, or still running an original one.
A sump pump test and a sewer check in early spring are the best protection against storms like April 2013.
A fall visit covers spigots, exposed pipes and the water heater before the first deep freeze.
A maintenance visit stays a maintenance visit.
We check the whole system and show you what we see.
What's fine, what to plan for and what can't wait.

"Brandon was pretty amazing! Very knowledgeable and he took a lot of time to explain in clear language as we went through the inspection. You will be in very good hands with him, if you ever need a walkthrough of your property."
"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, ideally in spring or fall.
Once a year is a good rule. Spring is best for the sump pump and sewer line, fall for spigots and the water heater.
The water heater, sump pump and ejector pump, then the sewer line.
Start with the equipment that wears out: the water heater, the sump pump and, if you have a basement bathroom, the ejector pump. Then have the sewer line checked, since roots from mature trees are common. A whole-home inspection covers it all in one visit.
