"I had an excellent experience with Goodfellas Sewer and Drain. They recently helped me with a complex kitchen sink issue, taking apart the drain piping and garbage disposal to rod and clear the drain. They worked efficiently and left everything clean and properly reassembled. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident from start to finish. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any plumbing needs and highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable, thorough service!"

"Once they located the main drain line, they did a really job of clearing it out. However, they left the debris from the drain line in the front yard and left deep tracks in the front lawn from their equipment."

"When I had a problem with the main sewer pipe another company came to fix the problem and they went from $275 TO $4600 in an instant. They recommended to install an exterior axis. I went online instead and found three other contractors which two of them recommended Aqua City Plumbing and Sewer, Inc. so I called them and when they came they made sure to open up the main sewer line and fixed the problem. Saved me around $400. The owner Chirs is pretty knowledgeable."

"Before calling any other company in the Chicago-land area, I highly recommend Above & Beyond Plumbing. Aside from getting to my house THE DAY OF SERVICE, they were far more professional and reasonable than the four other quotes I received from competitors. Jaime and his crew worked through the weekend on a tight deadline to make sure my sewer was finished. They navigated the city permitting and had my household operational in no time. There was no pressure and zero upselling of unneeded products. I’m looking forward to having them back annually to have my sewer scoped and rodded. When doing any minor or major work done on your plumbing it is absolutely necessary Above and Beyond AT LEAST quote the job. The highest of recommendation from me."

"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"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

If you’ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you’re done, now’s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.

There are several common signs that your main sewer line may be clogged. Key indicators include multiple fixtures in your home draining slowly, gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets, and water backing up into showers, sinks, or toilets. You might also notice water backing up from the plumbing system's drain cleanout, water in your basement drain, or unexplained wet patches on your lawn. Foul odors, such as the smell of raw sewage or rotten eggs, are another common symptom. The most reliable way to confirm a main sewer line clog is to hire a professional plumber to perform a camera inspection.

Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don’t have a cat or don’t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms.

You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. Sewer line replacement costs about $60 to $250 per linear foot.
