Company History

Drain King began as a two-person shop serving a small set of South Side buildings. Over time the business added technicians and a van fleet to keep up with steady local demand. Growth was gradual; most new work came from repeat customers and neighbor referrals.

The company emphasizes practical fixes suited to Chicago housing stock: older cast-iron drains, narrow access spaces, and the freeze–thaw cycle that affects pipes each winter. That hands-on experience guides inspections and repair choices.

Leadership

The leadership team is made up of licensed plumbers with long experience in city plumbing codes and building types common to Douglas. The founder trained as a journeyman plumber and spent years on service crews before starting the company.

Leaders stay active in local trade groups and meet with property managers and landlord associations to share practical maintenance tips. This keeps the crew up to date on code changes and best practices.
