Fast, Effective Drain Cleaning That Actually Lasts
Drain cleaning in Chicago and DuPage County demands more than a bottle of store-bought chemicals — it requires certified professionals with the right equipment. At Alta Property Services, our licensed technicians tackle everything from kitchen grease build-up to deep sewer line obstructions across Cook, DuPage, Will, Lake, and Kane Counties.
We use camera inspection, hydro-jetting, and mechanical snaking to find and fully remove blockages — not just poke a hole through them. The result is a drain that flows freely and stays that way. Whether you're a homeowner in Addison dealing with a slow shower drain or a property manager in Schaumburg facing a building-wide backup, we respond fast and solve it right.

Complete Drain Cleaning Services
From a slow bathroom sink to a collapsed sewer main, Alta's certified plumbers handle every type of drain and clog across the Chicago metro.
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Grease, food particles, and soap residue build up fast in kitchen drains. We clear every obstruction and clean pipe walls so you don't deal with recurring slow drains.
Bathroom & Shower Drains
Hair, soap scum, and mineral deposits are no match for our mechanical snaking and bio-safe cleaning. We restore full flow to bathtubs, showers, and bathroom sinks.
Main Sewer Line Clearing
Multiple drains backing up at once signals a main sewer blockage. We use video camera inspection to pinpoint the problem and hydro-jetting to fully restore flow.
Hydro-Jetting Service
High-pressure water jetting scours pipe interiors clean of grease, mineral scale, and tree root intrusions — the most thorough drain cleaning method available for Chicago-area homes.
Video Camera Inspection
We snake a waterproof camera through your pipes to find hidden cracks, root intrusions, and blockages before they become emergencies — saving you money and guesswork.
Emergency Drain Clearing
Sewage backup or completely blocked drain at midnight? Our emergency drain cleaning team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across DuPage and Cook County.

Drain Cleaning FAQs
Answers to the questions homeowners in DuPage County and the Chicago area ask us most about drain cleaning and clog removal.
-
Drain cleaning costs in the Chicago area typically range from $100–$350 for standard clogs (kitchen, bathroom) and $250–$800+ for main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting, depending on pipe access and severity. Alta provides a free on-site estimate before any work begins so there are no surprise charges. Call (630) 461-9229 for same-day quotes.
-
Snaking uses a flexible metal cable to break through or hook a clog, while hydro-jetting blasts the entire pipe interior with high-pressure water — removing grease, scale, and root intrusions completely. Snaking is ideal for simple blockages; hydro-jetting is recommended for stubborn, recurring clogs or commercial drains. Our technicians determine the right method after inspection.
-
For most DuPage County homes, a professional drain cleaning every 1–2 years keeps pipes clear and prevents emergency backups. Kitchen drains in heavy-use households benefit from annual service. Properties with mature trees near sewer lines should consider yearly camera inspections to catch root intrusion early.
-
Yes — a neglected or severely blocked drain can cause sewage to back up into your home, leading to costly water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. If you notice multiple slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors, call Alta immediately. We handle both the drain cleaning and any resulting water damage restoration as a single end-to-end job.
