About Ex-Stink Plumbing, Sewer & Drainage in Fox Lake, IL

We understand this common local challenge. Our team specializes in sump pump repair, installation, and battery backup systems to ensure your basement stays dry. We'll diagnose if your current pump is underpowered, incorrectly installed, or if you need a more robust system with a backup to handle our area's weather. A proper installation is key to preventing repeat failures.

Our thorough plumbing inspections assess your entire system—from water heaters and pipes to drains and sewers. We check for issues like sediment buildup in water heaters (a frequent local problem due to hard water), pipe corrosion, slow drains, and sewer line integrity. The inspection gives you a clear picture of your system's health and helps us prioritize any necessary repairs or replacements.

We always aim for a lasting fix. For a slow drain, we start by locating and clearing the clog. More importantly, we'll investigate why it formed—whether it's a pipe issue, a faulty installation, or a deeper problem in your main line. For stubborn or recurrent blockages, we offer hydro-jetting to thoroughly clean the pipes. Our approach is to solve the immediate problem and help prevent it from happening again.
