Downers Grove Sewer Rodding

We cut through the clog and show you what caused it.

A lot of Downers Grove drains into pipe laid decades ago — sturdy stuff that still collects roots and buildup. Rodding clears it: a cable with a cutting head opens the line, and a camera pass shows you the why.

Pro Services installed a 6 inch clean out and placed a lateral liner in our sewer line. What can I say, they did and excellent and professional job from start to finish. They're a great company.

After what started off as a horrible day we had plumbing issues on top of it. Cody came in and fixed it without hesitation and had the best attitude. I know it’s something small but he was a breath of fresh air. Thank you

Cody is the greatest person I have ever encountered!!! I was panicked about a sump pump issue and he contacted me right away and assured me all would be OK. He was prompt, knowledgeable and friendly.

Vintage lines, roots & full loads

The line is older than the problem. Both are manageable.

Downers Grove sewer lines have been at it for generations, and most are still up to the job — they just need the occasional clearing to stay ahead of roots and time.
“They rodded it and left. It’s back.”
A rodding without a look afterward is a coin flip — maybe they cleared it all, maybe they punched a hole through it. We finish the job differently: cable first, then camera, so we both see the line is fully open and what was in it. If it comes back after that, you’ll know why — but it rarely does.

Quote

Before we start

“Laundry day is a gamble.”
Laundry sends the biggest rush of water a line sees all week — a narrowed main can take a sink but folds under a wash cycle. It’s a classic Downers Grove symptom in homes with original lines. Rodding restores the clearance, and laundry goes back to being a chore instead of a risk.
“After rodding, how long until it’s back?”
Depends entirely on what invited the clog. A one-time buildup may never return; roots regrow on the tree’s schedule, not ours. That’s why the camera look matters — it turns ‘how long?’ from a guess into an answer, and it’s included in the visit.

How it works

Cleared isn't finished until we've seen it's clear.

Downers Grove lines get the complete treatment: the blockage cut out, the pipe inspected, and an honest read on what those decades of service have left behind.
  1. Tell us the pattern.

    Does it fail on heavy-use days? Slow first, then stopped? Patterns point to causes, and causes decide which cutting heads ride along. A good description on the phone makes for a faster visit.

  2. Steady work down the line.

    The cable moves through at a pace that clears completely — roots sheared, buildup broken out — with respect for pipe that's been underground since mid-century. Thorough beats fast, and usually is fast anyway.

  3. The verdict, in plain words.

    You see the cleared line on camera and hear what we found — no jargon, no drama. If the old pipe has a spot worth watching, Downers Grove homeowners get it straight: what it is, what it costs to fix, and whether waiting is reasonable.

  4. Full flow or we're not done.

    Water runs hard while the camera confirms it's leaving. You keep the footage and a written note — the line's first checkup in decades, on record.

Not sure yours needs fixing yet?

Call and ask. We’d rather talk you out of a repair than sell you one you didn’t need.
