Plumbing help for Des Plaines homeowners
Des Plaines is one of the older communities in our service area, and many of its homes have plumbing that's been in service for generations. The calls we get most often here involve basement drains and sewer lines, aging pipe, and water heaters.
When you call either of our numbers, you talk directly to our team. We'll tell you honestly what's wrong and what it costs before we start, and we'll do the work to code. Appointments are available on weekday evenings and weekends, with 10% off when you book ahead. For a backup, an active leak, or no water, same-day visits are often available at the emergency rate.
Des Plaines homes and the plumbing problems we see
Des Plaines has a large share of homes built between the 1920s and the 1960s, and the Des Plaines River runs right through the city. Heavy rains and older sewer connections make basement water a real concern in some neighborhoods. What we see most:
- Basement backups. A floor drain that backs up during heavy rain or when the washer drains is a sign the main line or sewer lateral needs attention.
- Old clay and cast-iron sewer lines. After many decades, they crack, sag, and let roots in, causing recurring clogs.
- Galvanized supply pipe that has narrowed from corrosion, causing low water pressure and leaks at the threads.
- Cast-iron drain stacks inside the home that have rusted through at the bottom.
- Sump and ejector pumps that basements depend on. We work on sump, ejector, and sewage pump systems.
Sewer lines, drains, and pipe repair in Des Plaines
When a basement drain backs up, our drain cleaning clears the line and tells us what caused it. If it keeps happening, our sewer line repair in Des Plaines starts with a proper diagnosis — whether it's roots, a broken section, or a line that has reached the end of its life — so you're fixing the cause, not the symptom.
For leaks and aging pipe, we handle pipe repair and, when an older home keeps having problems, replacement of outdated plumbing. We pull permits when a job requires one.
Older Des Plaines homes often have a patchwork of repairs from different decades — a section of copper here, a length of plastic there, an original cast-iron stack in the basement. We take the time to understand what's actually in your home before recommending anything, so a repair fits with the rest of the system instead of creating a new weak point next to it.

Frequently Asked
Questions Des Plaines homeowners ask.
Why does my Des Plaines basement drain back up during heavy rain?
It often points to a restriction in the main line or sewer lateral, or to how the home connects to the sewer system. We can clear the line and diagnose the cause.
Can you replace old cast-iron drain pipes?
Yes. We repair and replace cast-iron drain sections and stacks that have corroded or cracked.
My Des Plaines home has very low water pressure. What causes that?
In older homes, a common cause is galvanized pipe that has narrowed from corrosion inside. We’ll check and explain your options.
Can you come out the same day for a basement backup?
Often, yes. We take emergency calls on weekday evenings and weekends, and same-day visits are billed at the emergency rate.
Do you pull permits for sewer work in Des Plaines?
Yes. We work to code and pull the proper permits when a job requires one, including for sewer line repairs and replacements.
