What Glen Ellyn homeowners want to know about drain cleaning — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Most Glen Ellyn homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years as preventive maintenance. Kitchen drains in households that cook frequently may need annual service. Homes with large trees near the sewer line should have the main line inspected and cleared annually to prevent root buildup from causing backups.
Recurring drain clogs in Glen Ellyn homes usually indicate an underlying issue beyond the immediate blockage — pipe scale that makes the interior rough and catches debris, a partially collapsed pipe section, persistent root intrusion, or an improperly sloped pipe that allows solids to settle. Phoenician Plumbing uses camera inspection to identify the root cause of recurring drain problems.
Drain snaking uses a rotating cable to break through or pull out blockages. It is effective for hair clogs and localized obstructions but leaves residue on pipe walls. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full pipe interior, removing grease, scale, and root intrusion completely. For main sewer lines and recurring clogs, hydro-jetting provides more thorough and longer-lasting results.
Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in Glen Ellyn neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots enter through small cracks or joints in older sewer lines and grow inside the pipe, eventually causing recurring blockages, complete blockages, or pipe collapse. Annual hydro-jetting and a root treatment can control root growth and extend line life.
Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Phoenician Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Had low water pressure throughout the house for years. They identified a failing pressure regulator at the main and replaced it same day. Now every shower and faucet works like it should. Wish I had called sooner."
"Water heater went out on a Friday evening. They had a plumber at my door Saturday morning and the new unit installed by noon. Could not be happier with the speed and quality of service."
"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
