Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from North Chicago property owners.
We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your North Chicago property without any excavation.

Preventive maintenance catches developing problems early and extends the life of your sewer system significantly.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies in North Chicago do not cover sewer line repair due to normal wear and aging. However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help North Chicago homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in North Chicago, IL. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.

Honest feedback from property owners who trusted Scranton Sewer Authority with their sewer and drain projects.
"Called on a Sunday morning when our main drain backed up. Crew arrived within an hour, cleared the clog, and ran a camera to make sure the line was in good shape. Responsive and reliable, even on weekends."
"Our laundry drain kept backing up no matter how many times we used store-bought cleaners. One professional cleaning visit and the problem has not come back in six months. Wish I had called sooner."
"Good experience overall. They cleared a stubborn clog in our shower drain that two other companies could not fix. Turned out to be a buildup of calcium and soap scum deep in the pipe. Hydro jetting solved it."
