Expert Drain Clearing
Clearing Stubborn Drain Clogs in Chicagoland
A slow-draining sink or a backed-up tub can quickly disrupt your entire day. These common annoyances are often the first signs of a stubborn clog forming deep within your plumbing. From grease and food particles in the kitchen to hair and soap scum in the bathroom, everyday debris can build up over time, leading to blockages that DIY methods simply can’t handle.
When you’re facing a tough drain clog in your Northbrook or Highland Park home, you need a fast and effective solution. For over 50 years, AA Service Co. has been the trusted partner for homeowners throughout Chicagoland. Our experienced technicians have the tools and expertise to diagnose the problem quickly, eliminate the blockage, and restore your plumbing to perfect working order.

Beyond Surface-Level Fixes
Advanced Technology for Thorough Drain Cleaning
When you have a clog, it’s tempting to reach for a bottle of chemical drain cleaner. Unfortunately, these products often provide only a temporary fix by creating a small channel through the blockage, while the rest of the buildup remains. They can also cause significant damage to your pipes over time, leading to more expensive repairs down the road.
At AA Service Co., we use professional-grade tools designed to solve the problem completely. For tough clogs, we may use a power auger (or drain snake) to break up the obstruction and pull it out. For more severe blockages from grease or sludge, we utilize hydro jetting—a powerful technique that uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your pipes, removing years of accumulated grime.
Proactive Drain Care
Protect Your Plumbing with Professional Service
A clogged drain isn’t just an inconvenience; it can be a warning sign of underlying issues within your plumbing system. Ignoring slow drains can eventually lead to complete blockages, foul odors, water backups, and even costly water damage to your property in areas like Lake Forest or Winnetka.
Our professional drain cleaning services are designed to be both reactive and preventative. When we clear a clog, we aren’t just treating the symptom. By thoroughly cleaning the line, we remove the sticky, built-up residue that traps new debris, which helps prevent clogs from recurring. A clean plumbing system is a healthy one that functions as it should.

Have Questions?
Clogged Drain FAQs
We understand you may have questions about your drains and our services. Here are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from homeowners in the Chicagoland area.
What are the most common causes of drain clogs?
In kitchens, clogs are typically caused by a buildup of grease, fats, oils, and food particles. In bathrooms, the primary culprits are hair, soap scum, and residue from personal care products. Foreign objects being flushed down the toilet can also cause serious blockages.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?
We strongly advise against using liquid chemical drain cleaners. They are highly corrosive and can damage your pipes, leading to costly leaks over time. Furthermore, they are often ineffective at fully clearing a blockage and can pose a safety hazard to you and our technicians.
What is the difference between drain snaking and hydro jetting?
Drain snaking (or augering) involves using a flexible cable to break through a clog or retrieve an obstruction. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the inside of the pipes, completely removing grease, sludge, and other buildup. Hydro jetting provides a more thorough and longer-lasting cleaning.
How can I prevent my drains from clogging?
Be mindful of what goes down your drains. Avoid pouring grease in the kitchen sink, use a hair catcher in the shower, and only flush toilet paper and human waste. Regular professional drain cleaning can also be a great preventative measure, especially for older homes.
How do I know if the clog is in my main sewer line?
Signs of a main sewer line clog include multiple fixtures backing up simultaneously (e.g., toilets, showers, and sinks), gurgling sounds from your drains, and water backing up in the shower when you flush the toilet. If you suspect a sewer line issue, call us immediately.
