Expert Drain Cleaning in Oak Park, IL

From the time our 8 unit condo building was opened in 2016, until 2023, we had zero problems with plumbing. In late January 2023, after we had just gotten home from a trip to Tupelo, our main floor (we have a “duplex down”) kitchen sink water began rising on its own from drain water from upper floor units. My wife and I were like an old-time bucket brigade, running gallons from the sink to the powder room toilet to keep the water from cascading over our cabinets and onto the floor. We had a plumber come out and run a rod from under our kitchen sink into the main drain pipe, which started a drain flow of water again. This problem unfortunately returned in October 2023 (when we were just about to leave for vacation), as well as July and September 2024, July 2025 and most recently on November 3rd. Despite previously using two different large plumbing companies, none of them could locate where our building’s main 4” drain pipe was located (using metal detectors and cameras). So effectively each time they rodded from our kitchen, they were punching a small hole into the grease blockage, with the hole slowly closing back up. So we hired Suburban Chicago Plumbing Experts this time. They not only identified the problem, but also identified where our main drain pipes were located, and then went on to create new external clean-out pipes for our building so that now any future blockages can be gotten to easily. Suburban spent three hours using unique hydrojetting equipment which has a truck-based water heater furnace to melt away all of the grease which was clogging our line. And unlike most other plumbing companies, they also have their own vacuum truck, and sucked all the grease out of our front yard’s underground catch basin. I can’t recommend enough their expertise, their specialized equipment, and their attractive pricing. A terrific combination and value.

We had a major plumbing issue in the basement of one of the properties we managed. There was a backed up sewage line and left easily a foot of waste on the floor that needed to be disposed of and sanitized. One plumber told us we had to find someone to clean it up (which was odd to me because that seems like a hazard of the job) and then we called a second plumber and he could not get past a few feet with his scope. Mike and his team was able to clear the line all the way to the street and cleaned and sanitized it in a few hours. It has held great for a few months but we need a more permanent solution that the landlord cannot afford at this time but we will be using Mike and his team to help us when the time comes.

Mike, Maro, and Alex are AMAZING!!I can't praise these guys enough! Great customer service ad great work for a reasonable price. New catch basin, new sump pump, fixed existing wall whole and re-hung outside post to the way it should have been originally! As a bonus, they empty a big waste can of my stuff! These guys did a lot of work all in one day. Thank you guys!

My toilet started running nonstop and wouldn’t stop even after trying to fix it myself. I finally called Chicago Drain Masters Plumbing 24/7, and their plumber in Chicago arrived within an hour. He quickly diagnosed the issue a wornout flapper and fill valve replaced both, and made sure everything was flushing perfectly before leaving. It’s such a relief to find reliable Chicago plumbing that actually responds fast and does the job right the first time. Definitely my go-to plumbers from now on.

I had a clogged shower drain that kept backing up no matter what I tried. I called Chicago Drain Masters Plumbing 24/7, and their plumber in Chicago showed up within an hour. He used a drain snake and professional jetting equipment to clear a stubborn hair and soap blockage deep in the line. The water drains perfectly now, and he even gave me a few tips on how to prevent future buildup. Extremely professional, quick, and affordable, I’d recommend them to anyone needing reliable Chicago plumbing help.

we had a broken pipe under our house in chicago and needed help fast. chicago drain masters plumbing 24/7 sent someone out within an hour to check things out. thomas showed up and had to crawl under the house to reach a tricky drainage pipe. he quickly figured out the problem and fixed it in just a few hours. there was a big puddle of water under there, and he made sure to drain it all out for us. we were really happy with how everything was handled, and the price was much less than we expected. we’ll definitely call again for any plumbing problems.

Had David and Rodel install a new water heater, complete new drainage, new gas lines, new hot/cold copper lines. Repair my 3 compartment existing commercial sink setup and brought everything up to code. The work was done clean and with a permit. Communicating the whole way through. You don’t see this level of work a lot. 1000/5 stars

I had a water issue due to an improperly installed sewer pipe along with roots in the line. They came out quickly, identified the issue and corrected it right away. Very knowledgeable, charged a honest price and were extremely professional. I would definitely recommend them.

I had a clogged sink and leaking pipes that turned into an emergency on a Sunday night. I was honestly shocked when David (the owner) picked up my call at 10:30 PM and was able to help right away. He arrived at my house first thing the next morning at 7:30 AM! David was extremely polite, very knowledgeable, and kept the pricing fair and affordable. He explained everything clearly and got the job done efficiently. In a stressful plumbing situation, that’s exactly what you hope for. Highly recommend Elevate Plumbing — David and his team are the real deal! If you need reliable, responsive service, look no further.

Efficient, professional and reasonable. I needed 2 water tanks replaced and JSewer and Plumbing were able to complete the job within 24 hours. Great service from Jonathan and all the way to Jesus the main plumber on this job. They are my go to plumbers! I call them for all my plumbing needs. On another building I needed a water tank replaced. Very professional and efficient again. The tank was replaced and the tenant was very pleased. Great plumbers. Diego and Luis. Great plumbing company. Reasonable prices in a super competitive business.

I had a great experience with Milton from J Sewer & Drain Plumbing. He was thorough and efficient, and did not try any upsells when there was likely a potential for one. I always appreciate honest and kind workers and will continue to use J Sewer & Drain for my future plumbing needs. Would highly recommend this team!

I’ve had J Sewer and Drain out to my house twice now for two different toilet related issues - the original contractor must have done some shotty plumbing work. The leaky toilet on the first floor was a simple repair; the appointment was scheduled same day and the issue was resolved within the hour appointment. The leaky toilet on the second floor required some sub-floor to be replaced; the issue was resolved at a reasonable rate for the amount of work required. I appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail I saw with both teams.

The service today from J Sewer & Drain Plumbing was beyond excellent. I very much thank Marcelo and the other great crew member for their service. Marcelo is a knowledgeable professional who accurately diagnosed the plumbing and sewer line issues we were experiencing and determined the most practical, cost effective solutions and provided options. Once the work was started, Marcelo kept me well informed and he and his fellow crew member stayed on the problem until it was resolved. And it was a tough drainage problem for sure! I highly recommend J Sewer & Drain Plumbing for anyone looking for a company with integrity, professionalism, cost effectiveness, and the ability to fix problems. Thank you Marcelo and crew, very much.

I highly recommend them!! We had interacted with multiple plumbing & HVAC companies, and J Sewer & Drain Plumbing is the BEST, most professional, transparent, sincere, competent, and reliable. They communicated well with us about the work that needs to be done and when they did, they covered the entire area. We were doing bathroom remodeling at the same time. While the contractors did a nice work, they left a huge mess, dust everywhere, they were mixing glue, cutting tiles on our living room without covering our furnitures, floors, other rooms, etc. They are on our cell and will reach out if any plumbing related issues arise.

We called J Sewer & Drain at 5pm on a Friday after finding our basement flooded and they had a team out to our house within an hour. Carlos and Neris showed up and quickly identified the issue (tree roots were obstructing our sewer line) and got right to work rodding the line. The problem was resolved within few hours and they shared a reco for restoration/cleanup. They were friendly, professional and patient in helping us understand what the issue was and how to prevent it in the future. Would definitely recommend.

We had some big roots clogging our drains. Elias and his team came in, introduced themselves and explained exactly what they were going to look for and the process. They got right to it and were finished quickly. They showed me a camera view of before and then after, explaining what was happening the whole way through. Very efficient, polite, and great to work with. Will highly recommend.

Abraham at Father and Son’s did a great job with our new toilet installation. They kept everything clean and tidy, were very friendly and pricing was reasonable. Elias also came out to give an honest assessment of our plumbing situation, and we felt that he was honest and incredibly accommodating with schedules. Will definitely hire them again!

Excellent service from start to finish! The toilet installation was done efficiently and with great attention to detail. The plumber was knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful of our home. No leaks, no mess, and everything works perfectly. Pricing was fair and the service exceeded expectations. I’ll definitely be using them again and recommending them to others.

I recently used LaCassa Plumbing for a water heater replacement and drain cleaning, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From the first call to the final walkthrough, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Carmen arrived on time, explained the condition of my old water heater, and went over my replacement options clearly with upfront pricing. The installation was smooth, and now we have consistent hot water with no issues. They also cleaned out our drains, which are flowing perfectly again no more slow sinks! What really stood out was their honesty, attention to detail, and respect for my home. They left everything clean and made sure I was completely satisfied before leaving. Highly recommend LaCassa Plumbing if you need reliable, high-quality plumbing work. I’ll definitely be calling them again in the future!

Lacassa plumbing came to me on a days notice. My sewer line was backing up and I was panicking! Carmen and Josh came out to my house the next day and went over all of the options clearly and thoroughly. They fixed the problem quickly and efficiently. They repaired the entire sewer line the same day. I highly recommend LaCassa Plumbing!

Highly recommend LaCassa plumbing. Needed a new sump pump installed. They came out and explained everything with detail. Also had them replace two toilets in our home. Very courteous and honest

I needed a water heater installation for a tenant and JSewer and Drain did NOT disappoint. Diego and Luis were exemplary plumbers. All of JSewer’s crew are amazing! They are my go to plumbers. I found them last February and I’ll always call them for all my plumbing needs. The tenant stated “that’s an amazing water tank.” They’re very pleased.

When Diego arrived to my house I told him that there was something wrong with my water system before he started working. The cold supply line to my water heater was shut off I drained my water heater overnight but when I woke up this morning water was still flowing out. This meant cold water was leaking into my hot water pipes and back into my water heater. Although I told the team working on my water heater replacement this information as soon as they walked in they cut into the hot side pipe knowing that there was running water in it. This this started to flood my furnished rental apartment in my basement. Instead of trying to cap the leak The Operators started to try and soak up the leak. The water continued to leak until they finally went back to Home Depot to buy a new shut-off valve. It is my opinion that when a customer let you know there's a problem you should come up with a plan before cutting a pipe with running water in it. All I wanted was a simple apology from management but instead Jesus gaslit me into believing that this was how the work was supposed to be done and that he had 25 years of experience and these things just happen and I should be thankful that somebody was willing to work on Sunday. Regardless if they flooded my basement or not. The hot water did get installed and the damage was minimal (only because me and my renter worked diligently at mitigating the flood) so i paid what was owed but i will not be fooled to believe this was the best service that i could have recieved.

I got multiple estimates for an exterior flood control system, but J Sewer & Drain stood out right away. The owner was honest, responsive, and offered a fair price compared to other contractors. The work was completed quickly and smoothly with no issues at all. Glad I went with them. Ruby

Dex and the crew literally saved our night (and our hardwood floors!) We got home from work and the kitchen sink was backing up with gross water and quickly started overflowing onto the floor. Between bailing out drainage water and panicking, Rescue Plumbing answered the phone in 2 rings and said we can help you right now. Not only did Dex and his team show up AFTER HOURS in the SNOW, they were warm, kind and jumped right into action to save my kitchen. They knew exactly what to do, explained it all to me, told me the costs right up front and stuck to it. Within 30 minutes they fixed our building’s drainage issue, cleaned up the kitchen neat as a pin and were out the door with a quick joke. I hope I don’t need to see them again but also if I need a plumber, they’re saved in my phone and getting every recommendation. 4 seasons and ABC told me I’d have to wait til tomorrow afternoon at the earliest and I think my floors would have been ruined from overflowing sink water if I didn’t have Rescue Plumbing. Thank you Dex and team!!!

What a great and fast job they did! We have a bursted pipe and called them. In less than 1 hour Javier and Jimmy showed up and were able to quickly repair the pipe. They kept us informed of pricing and steps throughout the whole process. Javier was really good at identifying where the burst was and only had to do a small whole in the wall. 10/10!! From call to fixed less than 3h

Dex always comes through for us in an emergency! We have had several plumbing issues in our condo in the last 12 months, and Dex has been great. He's always responsive and persistent, even coming back a few times free of charge to tinker with his solutions to chronic issues we're dealing with. He's been trustworthy and friendly, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

we had an amazing repair experience today in our basement fixing a broken pipe below the concrete slab which was leaking sewer gas. terrific crew came on a Saturday and did incredible job including the cleanup and an extra small item that was outside the scope of what we paid for. highly recommend and thanks for Google Gemini who recommended we contact them.

Jack Simonson was great! Had 5 different companies for quotes in my sewer line. He was the most honest and transparent of the plumbers. He gave me a estimate onsite and did not try to upsell me like the others. Scottish Plumber made sure the hydro jet and stent was done timely and show me the before and after.

Elliot is a thorough, professional, and proactive plumber. He went above and beyond while he was at our home, found the core issue after detailed troubleshooting, and made sure our pump worked properly. We really appreciated his attention to detail and willingness to ensure everything worked as it should. After calling 4 plumbers and getting ghosted (not sure why), it was a huge relief to speak with someone over the phone to schedule Elliot to come by and help us out. Scottish Plumber has an excellent system and brought a great plumber! Update: we had Carlos come to install a new back up sump pump and check valve and he was prompt, kind, and careful! We are so grateful for the team at Scottish plumbing.
