About Rick's Sewer & Drainage Inc in Des Plaines, IL

The best prevention is to avoid pouring grease down the drain. However, if clogs are a recurring issue, a professional plumbing inspection from Rick's can identify if your pipes have existing buildup or damage. We can then perform a targeted repair or recommend a replacement of the affected section to restore proper flow and prevent future backups.

Signs include water around the toilet base, a persistent musty smell, or a rocking toilet. This is a common issue in older Des Plaines homes. Rick's team handles this specific plumbing repair by safely removing the toilet, cleaning the area, and installing a new, durable wax seal to create a watertight connection and prevent floor damage.

If multiple drains are slow or backing up simultaneously, or if you notice soggy patches in your yard, you may have a damaged sewer line. This is common with aging infrastructure. Rick's provides sewer camera inspections to pinpoint the problem. We then advise if a targeted sewer repair is sufficient or if a full section replacement is needed to ensure long-term reliability for your home.
