Our Drain & Sewer Services
Why Drain and Sewer Problems Require a Professional
Most of your drain and sewer system runs underground or inside walls where it can’t be seen. That creates two challenges: problems develop slowly and silently, and diagnosing them without the right equipment is mostly guesswork.
A slow drain might be a simple surface clog. It might also be a sign of root intrusion 40 feet down your sewer line. Treating those two problems the same way wastes time and money. We use video camera inspection to see exactly what’s happening before recommending a repair, so you’re paying for what your system actually needs.

Clogs form gradually. Grease, hair, soap buildup, and debris stick to pipe walls over time until the drain slows or stops completely. By the time you notice the problem, a blockage has usually been building for a while. We offer drain cleaning services ranging from standard mechanical snaking to hydro jetting for lines with heavy buildup. We’ll clear the clog and tell you honestly whether the drain needs anything else, like a treatment program to prevent the next one.
Sewer Cleaning for Collinsville Homes and Businesses
Your sewer line carries everything your drains collect out to the municipal main. When it partially or fully clogs, the effects are noticeable fast. Slow drainage at multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors in the house all point to a sewer issue rather than an isolated drain problem.
We provide sewer cleaning services for residential and commercial properties throughout Collinsville, using professional equipment to clear the line and camera inspection to confirm it’s clear and in good condition before we leave.
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Collinsville, IL
A properly maintained sewer line can last close to a century. Many don’t make it that long, especially in areas with older clay pipe, heavy tree canopy, or ground that shifts seasonally. If yours needs to be repaired or replaced, we’ll handle the full job, including excavation when required.
Every excavation we perform to replace a drain or sewer pipe is backed by a lifetime warranty. If we dig it up and fix it, that work is covered for life. We install, repair, and replace sewer lines throughout Collinsville and the surrounding Metro East area.
Hydro Jetting in Collinsville, IL
Standard drain snaking breaks up a clog. Hydro jetting removes it entirely. We use high-pressure water to scour the interior walls of your pipes, clearing out grease accumulation, mineral scale, sediment, and debris that snaking leaves behind. Hydro jetting is particularly effective for commercial kitchens, older homes with years of buildup, and any line where clogs keep coming back. It’s thorough, effective, and requires no chemicals.
Call (618) 343-9899Video Camera Pipe Inspections in Collinsville
A lot of drain and sewer problems get misdiagnosed because no one actually looks at the pipe. Video pipe inspection puts a small camera on a flexible cable into your drain or sewer line and sends real-time footage back to our service expert. We can see exactly where a clog is, what’s causing it, whether a pipe is cracked or collapsed, and whether tree roots have made their way in. That information drives the repair decision, which means less guesswork and more accurate, cost-effective work.
Additional Drain and Sewer Services in Collinsville
In addition to the services above, we offer targeted treatments and repair options for specific drain and sewer problems:
- Bio-Clean Pipe Treatment uses natural bacteria and enzymes to break down organic waste in your pipes on an ongoing basis, helping prevent buildup between service visits

Drain and Sewer FAQs
A clog isolated to one fixture usually points to a blockage in the drain line serving that fixture. When multiple drains are slow or backing up at the same time, there are gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, or you’re noticing sewage odors in the house, the issue is more likely further down in the main sewer line. A camera inspection is the most reliable way to confirm what’s happening and where.
When we excavate to repair or replace a drain or sewer pipe, we stand behind that work for life. If a problem develops with the section we repaired through excavation, call us and we’ll make it right. That commitment applies to every excavation job we perform.
That depends on what’s causing it. A minor surface clog might stay manageable for a while. A slow drain caused by root intrusion or a cracked pipe can worsen significantly over a single winter. When in doubt, a camera inspection will tell you what you’re actually dealing with and whether you have time to plan or need to act quickly.
For pipes in sound structural condition, yes. Before proceeding with hydro jetting, we assess the condition of your pipes. If there’s any concern about pipe integrity, we’ll run a camera inspection to confirm they can handle the process safely. We don’t apply high-pressure cleaning to pipes that are already fragile or deteriorating.
Every 18 to 24 months is a reasonable general guideline for most households. Homes with heavy usage, significant tree canopy over the sewer line, or a history of root intrusion may benefit from annual cleaning. We’ll give you a specific recommendation based on what we find during service.
Don’t Let the Bill Be the Barrier
Sometimes a repair catches you off guard, and sometimes you’ve been planning a upgrade for a while. Either way, the cost shouldn’t be what stands between you and a home that’s safe and running right.
