Able Sewerage Company | Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL 60649

Yes, they often are. Aging sewer lines in older Chicago neighborhoods can develop issues like cracks or root intrusion, while sediment buildup in water heaters is a common local problem. We can perform a comprehensive plumbing inspection using televising equipment to diagnose the health of your main sewer line and check your water heater and connecting pipes. This approach helps us address both potential problems efficiently.

Our emergency response includes immediate dispatch to contain the situation. We first work on flood control to prevent property damage, then use tools like rodding and drain cleaning to clear the immediate blockage. For a lasting repair, we often follow up with a televised inspection to pinpoint the exact cause—such as a broken pipe or root mass—and discuss your options for sewer repair or replacement.

Hydrojetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full interior diameter of pipes, effectively removing stubborn buildup like grease, scale, and tree roots that rodding might miss. It's a thorough cleaning method that can help restore flow and extend the life of your sewer lines. We often recommend it for preventative maintenance, especially for older plumbing systems common in the area.
