Drain Cleaning, Clogged Drains, & Sewer Repair

Slow or clogged drains are usually a symptom of a bigger issue further down the line. Our drain cleaning services address everything from a single clogged drain in a kitchen or bathroom to a fully blocked main sewer line.

Palatine’s older neighborhoods often have clay or cast-iron sewer pipes that are more prone to cracks, offset joints, and tree root intrusion, so we always look beyond the immediate clog to find the root cause of the issue.

Our sewer repair work covers inspections, spot repairs, full line replacements, and overhead sewer conversions for homes that experience repeated backups.

Why Do I Smell Sewage In My Home?

A sewage odor usually means there’s a break, blockage, or dried-out trap somewhere in your sewer line or venting system. Because sewer gas is a health hazard, you’ll want to call a plumber immediately, not wait.

Sewer Camera Inspections, Hydro Jetting, & Power Rodding

Guessing what’s wrong with a sewer line wastes time and money. We use video camera inspections to look directly inside your pipes, pinpointing cracks, root intrusion, bellies, and blockages before we recommend a repair.

Once we know what we’re dealing with, we choose the right cleaning method for the job:

Power Rodding

Power rodding uses a motorized cable to cut through tough blockages and tree root intrusion, a common problem on tree-lined Palatine streets. It’s a reliable, time-tested method for punching through a stubborn clog and restoring flow quickly, especially in older sewer lines.

Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is a non-invasive method that uses high-pressure water instead of a mechanical rod to scour pipe walls clean, removing grease, sludge, debris, and tree root growth without damaging the pipe. It clears buildup more thoroughly than traditional rodding and has become a preferred method for sewer cleaning jobs.

We also handle catch basin repair and removing tree roots from underground lines, two issues that go hand in hand in established Palatine neighborhoods.

Water Heater Repair, Replacement & Installation In Palatine

Having no hot water is more than an inconvenience. It can signal a failing tank, a bad heating element, or sediment buildup that’s shortening your water heater’s lifespan. We install, repair, and replace traditional tank and tankless water heaters for Palatine homes and businesses.

Our water heater installation team can help you choose the right size and type of unit for your property’s hot water demand, and we’ll handle the full installation from start to finish.

Toilet, Faucet, & Fixture Repairs

Worn-out fixtures don’t just waste water, they get less reliable and more expensive to run the longer they’re ignored. Our team handles:

Toilet Repair & Replacement

Running toilets, weak flushes, and cracked tanks are all fixed by our toilet repair team, whether the job calls for a simple part swap or full replacement and install.

Faucet Repair

Drips and low flow usually mean a worn cartridge or valve. We handle faucet repair for kitchen and bathroom fixtures of any style or brand.

Garbage Disposal Troubleshooting & Replacement

Jammed, humming, or dead disposals often just need a reset or clear, but we’ll repair or replace the unit if the motor’s gone.

Sink, Tub, & Shower Repairs

We repair and replace leaking or slow-draining sinks, tubs, and shower fixtures throughout your home.

Leak Detection, Plumbing Inspections & Water Line Repair

A hidden leak can quietly damage your home’s foundation, drywall, and flooring long before you notice a puddle. Our plumbing inspections and leak detection services use specialized equipment to locate leaks behind walls, under slabs, and underground, without unnecessary demolition.

Once a leak is found, our water line and pipe repair team can repair or reroute the affected section. For homes with aging infrastructure, we also offer lead water line replacement to bring older properties up to current safety standards.

Sump Pump & Flood Control Services

Palatine’s flat terrain and heavy spring rains put real pressure on basement sump pump systems. We install, repair, and maintain sump pumps and battery backup systems, and we also assist with broader flood control and drainage solutions, including flood control systems and overhead sewer conversions for homes that flood repeatedly during heavy storms.

If your sump pump has failed before, or if you want to prevent a first flood altogether, we can help you build a more resilient system.

Commercial Plumbing For Palatine Businesses & Property Managers

Retail centers, restaurants, offices, and multi-unit properties need a plumber who understands commercial code requirements and can minimize downtime. Our commercial plumbing services cover grease trap maintenance, backflow prevention, water heater systems, sewer line maintenance, and emergency repairs for business owners and property managers in Palatine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do You Offer Emergency Plumbing Services In Palatine?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service for burst pipes, sewer backups, flooded basements, and other urgent issues throughout Palatine and the surrounding suburbs.

How Do I Know If I Need A Sewer Line Replacement Instead Of A Repair?

A sewer camera inspection can help determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate. If your pipe has a single isolated crack or offset joint, a spot repair is often enough. Widespread damage, repeated backups, or extensive root intrusion usually points to a full sewer line replacement.

Do You Work On Older Homes With Clay Or Cast-Iron Sewer Pipes?

Yes. Many Palatine homes still have original clay or cast-iron sewer lines. We regularly inspect, repair, and replace these systems, and can recommend more durable materials when a replacement is needed.

Why Is My Water Bill So High?

A sudden spike in your water bill is one of the clearest signs of a hidden leak, even if you can’t see water anywhere. Running toilets, slab leaks, and underground water line breaks can all drive up usage without any visible evidence.

Is Andersen Plumbing Licensed & Insured?

Yes, we are a licensed plumbing contractor with decades of experience serving Chicago’s Northwest suburbs.
