Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
If you’re noticing recurring drainage problems in your home or business, it’s time to consider professional drain cleaning services. These common symptoms are warning signs that your pipes may be clogged or your sewer line may be compromised:
- Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or showers
- Foul odors coming from the kitchen or bathroom drains
- Gurgling or bubbling noises when using toilets or faucets
- Water backup in sinks or toilets after flushing
We frequently respond to these issues in homes across Glenview, Skokie, Lake Villa, and Wilmette, helping prevent bigger plumbing emergencies before they happen.

Sewer Camera Inspection
When recurring clogs or slow drains signal deeper problems, our team turns to sewer camera inspection—a non-invasive, high-tech solution for identifying underground sewer issues. At Windy City Rooter, we use flexible rods with high-resolution cameras to inspect the entire length of your sewer line.
This advanced diagnostic method allows us to:
- Pinpoint the exact location of pipe blockages, cracks, or root intrusions
- Determine if you need a spot repair or a full sewer line replacement
- Save time, money, and unnecessary digging
We regularly perform sewer inspections for property owners in Des Plaines, Schaumburg, Grayslake, and Waukegan—helping homeowners make informed decisions before investing in sewer excavation.

Overhead Sewer System Installation
Many older homes, particularly in neighborhoods like Wilmette, Mundelein, and Park Ridge, rely on gravity-fed sewer systems below the basement floor. During heavy rainfall, these systems are vulnerable to sewage backups, which can flood basements and damage property.
Installing an overhead sewer system is a proven way to protect your home. This setup raises your sewer lines above the municipal system’s overflow point, preventing sewage from re-entering your home.
Key benefits of an overhead sewer system include:
- Protection against basement flooding during storms
- Enhanced system performance and peace of mind
- Compatibility with basement waterproofing, just in case of a plumbing emergency.
If you live in flood-prone areas like Waukegan, Evanston, or Arlington Heights, our licensed plumbers can assess your property and determine if an overhead conversion is the right solution and we’ll schedule an appointment.
Flood Control System Installation
Another effective method of sewer backup prevention is the installation of a flood control system. This system is a dedicated barrier between your home and the city’s sewer main—especially useful in low-lying areas like Salem, Lake Villa, and Trevor.
A flood control system includes:
- An underground vault installed outside your home
- One-way check valves to prevent sewage from backing up
- Continuous flow design that allows wastewater to leave your home freely
These systems are especially valuable for properties in Gurnee, Lindenhurst, and Pleasant Prairie, where municipal sewer systems can become overwhelmed during storms.
Contact the experts at Windy City Rooter today to find out if your home is a good candidate for flood control installation. We’ll schedule a thorough site assessment and provide a customized solution to protect your basement and peace of mind.
