Blue Line Water Services | Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL 60634

Frequent backups are a common sign of a compromised main sewer line, often due to tree roots or aging pipes common in Chicago neighborhoods. We start with a video camera inspection to locate the exact problem. Depending on the issue, we may perform a trenchless pipe repair to minimize disruption, or a full sewer line replacement if necessary. We also offer preventative drain cleaning to help keep your lines clear.

The best prevention is to avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease (FOG) down the drain. Let grease solidify in a can and dispose of it in the trash. For homes with persistent issues, we recommend installing a grease trap or interceptor, which we can professionally install and service. Regular professional drain cleaning from our team can also help remove built-up grease before it causes a major blockage.

Chicago's weather and soil conditions make basements prone to flooding, especially during heavy spring rains or rapid snowmelt. A properly installed and maintained sump pump is your first line of defense, actively pumping groundwater away from your foundation. We can assess your basement's risk, recommend the right pump system, and ensure it's installed correctly with a backup battery to protect your property during power outages.
