"We used Flo- Maxx to troubleshoot to find a leak. They found that it was our ice maker water line. The service went very well that seven days later we called about replacing our sump pump in the basement that went out."

"We are new homeowners and had a hole in our septic tank made of concrete block, which was sending wastewater into the foundation/basement of the home. It was my first time using Angie's List, and I would recommend Illinois Sewer and Drain to anyone. Joe and his team of experts solved our issue immediately at an affordable price. They even went above and beyond to install a sump pump in our basement to help with the rain water. Quality work!!"

"Mike was early to appointment and easy to talk to he listen to my suggestions and we decided on a plan of action to reroute a sink drain that ran under my 100+ yr old house instead of tearing up the concrete. He and Eric came out on day that worked for both of us arrived early and jumped right into it and it was done quick and well with no mess left behind. I have found my go to guy for plumbing no more wondering who to call that I can trust. I feel good about the work and know my problem is has been permanently fixed."

"My utility closet was a convoluted mess before the HVAC replacement and by the time these guys were done - it looks like SpaceX came in and cleaned things up. They even did some 'extras' for me included; install W/D replacement vent tubbing, drained the water heater, re-directing a variety of piping - the completed job is, to be it plainly, beautiful"

"I hired ULB-Dry Waterproofing out of Villa Park to repair some cracks in my house’s foundation. Boy, am I glad I did! The three men, Margarito, Deivy and John, worked so hard and did a great job. They found more cracks, fixed those as well as installing a window well drain. My basement is as dry as a bone!! Great company to work with and great prices too!"

"John, Devin, Thomas, Aramis, Tito, and Marco did an amazing job redoing all of the pipes in my 95 year old house. From the free estimate from John, all the way to scheduling the project was trouble free. These guys worked hard for several days and sometimes things came up that were a challenge, but they kept at it and now I have all new modern piping in my home, as well as a new toilet, and washing machine lines, and new faucets to my utility sink. They all really came through and what a great and friendly bunch of guys. I'm thoroughly impressed with their work and would recommend them for any issue."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

You can unclog an AC drain line for free if you already have these household ingredients: water, vinegar, and rags. Alternatively, if you’d rather not deal with the mess, you can hire a pro to clear your drain line. If you go that route, an HVAC service call costs between $100 and $250.

Regrading your yard can often fix drainage problems. You can also try aerating the lawn to encourage better drainage or install a new drainage system to prevent water from pooling in certain areas.

With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they’re usually U-shaped).

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500
