Flo-Maxx Sewer and Plumbing - South Holland's Local Plumbing Contractor

For older homes in our area with aging sewer lines, hydro jetting is often the most effective solution. This high-pressure water jetting technique, which we specialize in, thoroughly cleans pipe walls to remove stubborn blockages like grease, scale, and invasive tree roots. It's a more comprehensive cleaning than traditional snaking and helps prevent near-term future clogs. We often pair it with a video camera inspection first to precisely identify the problem's location and nature.

Detecting the source of foul sewer odors is a common issue we handle. We use specialized smoke testing equipment to safely introduce non-toxic smoke into your plumbing system. The smoke will escape through even the smallest crack or faulty seal, visibly pinpointing the exact location of the leak. This method is highly effective for finding leaks in toilet seals, which are a frequent problem, as well as other breaches in drain pipes or vent stacks that are causing the smell.

A reliable sump pump is crucial for flood prevention in South Holland. We offer both sump pump repair and new installation services. Our technicians can diagnose if your current pump can be fixed or if a replacement is needed for better performance and longevity. For new installations, we assess your basement's specific needs to recommend the right pump capacity and can also install related flood control systems or backup pumps for added peace of mind during severe weather.
