Sewer & Drain Services

At ASAP Plumbing, we encourage customers to reach out as soon as they notice changes in how their plumbing system functions. Some of the most common signs of a clogged drain or sewer line include slow-draining sinks, standing water in tubs or showers, gurgling noises coming from drains, or unpleasant odors coming from plumbing fixtures. You may also see water backing up in unexpected places, such as the bathtub filling when the toilet is flushed. These symptoms often point to blockages deep within the system that require professional intervention. When you call our sewer drain cleaners in McHenry, IL, we arrive equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the obstruction and provide the fastest, most reliable solution.

Hydro jetting is one of the most powerful and effective methods we use to clear stubborn blockages. This service is ideal when buildup such as grease, scale, soap residue, or even intrusive tree roots has accumulated inside your pipes. If you’ve experienced recurring clogs or slow drains despite previous attempts to clear the line, hydro jetting is often the best next step. At ASAP Plumbing, we begin with a professional inspection to determine whether hydro jetting is safe and suitable for your system. Our sewer drain cleaners in McHenry, IL will evaluate the condition of your pipes and recommend hydro jetting if the line is strong enough to handle high-pressure water.

Recurring clogs often signal deeper issues than simple surface-level buildup. In kitchens, grease, cooking oils, and food debris accumulate along pipe walls, eventually restricting water flow. In bathrooms, hair, soap scum, and other residue can create dense blockages that worsen over time. Floor drains may clog due to dirt, sediment, or even underground issues connected to the sewer line. Sometimes, recurring clogs point to structural problems such as pipe sagging, corrosion, or intrusive tree roots. At ASAP Plumbing, we take the time to diagnose why these clogs keep happening rather than offering temporary fixes. When our sewer drain cleaners in McHenry, IL inspect your system, we use specialized equipment to locate the root cause of the issue so we can recommend a long-term solution tailored to your specific plumbing system.

Video camera inspection allows us to evaluate your sewer line with exceptional accuracy. Instead of guessing where a clog or damage is located, we insert a high-resolution camera into the system to capture real-time visuals. This gives us the ability to detect buildup, cracks, tree root intrusions, or collapsed sections of pipe. The biggest benefit is precision: we know exactly what the problem is and where it’s happening. This eliminates unnecessary digging or disruptive trial-and-error methods. At ASAP Plumbing, we use this technology to ensure your repair or cleaning service is as efficient and cost-effective as possible.

While many sewer issues can be resolved through cleaning or targeted repairs, there are situations where replacement is the better long-term solution. If your sewer line has extensive corrosion, multiple cracks, frequent blockages caused by structural damage, or severe root intrusion, replacing the line often provides greater reliability and fewer future disruptions. At ASAP Plumbing, we assess the overall condition of the sewer system before recommending replacement. If repairs would only offer temporary relief or lead to recurring costs, we would discuss replacement options to help you make an informed decision. Our team installs durable, long-lasting sewer lines with careful attention to minimizing disruption to your property. The goal is to deliver a dependable solution that supports your home or business for years to come.

Preventing future clogs begins with small daily habits and consistent maintenance. We advise homeowners to avoid flushing wipes, hygiene products, or paper towels down toilets, even if they are labeled as “flushable.” In kitchens, avoid washing grease, oil, or excessive food scraps down the sink. For showers and tubs, installing a drain cover is an effective way to reduce hair accumulation. Regular professional cleaning also plays a significant role in preventing major problems, especially in homes with older plumbing or high usage. ASAP Plumbing provides personalized recommendations based on your specific system, helping you maintain clear, healthy drains year-round. By combining responsible everyday use with proactive service, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of future clogs and enjoy long-lasting plumbing performance.
