Drain and sewer problems in Washington, IL fall into two groups: a clog in one fixture's branch line, and trouble in the main sewer line every fixture shares. Sewer and drain work is the core of what we do, and the first job is telling which group you are in, because the tool, the cost and the next step all follow from that.
Which Drain and Sewer Service Do You Need?
Start with what you see, then match it to the service.
| What you see | Likely cause | Where to go |
|---|---|---|
| One sink, tub or shower is slow | Branch line clog | Drain cleaning |
| Several fixtures slow, floor drain gurgles | Main line blockage | Sewer line cleaning |
| Backups return after cleaning | Roots, a belly or a damaged pipe | Sewer camera inspection |
| Grease or scale narrowing the pipe | Buildup on the wall | Hydro jetting |
| Roots keep coming back | An entry point in the pipe | Root removal |
| Cracked, offset or collapsed pipe | A failed section | Sewer line repair |
If sewage is coming up now, stop using water and go to emergency sewer backup.
Drain and Sewer Work in a Town of Mixed Ages
Washington has a real mix of pipe. The Census figures cited by Point2homes put the median home at 1978, with 13% of units from 1939 or earlier and the largest group built between 2000 and 2009. Older homes often have clay tile or cast iron that roots and scale attack, while newer homes have plastic drains that clog from grease and wipes.
Knowing which you have decides the plan: a cable for roots, a jetter for buildup, a camera for a line you do not trust, and a repair when the pipe itself has failed.

Rules to Know Before You Hire
Illinois requires a plumbing license for anyone who repairs plumbing, and the Illinois Department of Public Health administers it. Ask for the number and check it. A proposed Washington ordinance would address private sewer laterals; it is not confirmed as law, so ask the city about its status before you plan work around it.

“Just a superb experience in quality and customer service and price. Called these guys at 5:30p and they were here by 6:00p and Monte did his work in the dark by flashlight! Not only did he do a fantastic job he also educated us on how to prevent these problems from becoming a much bigger and more expensive issue. I would recommend this company to anyone, they are committed to doing a professional job, ensuring it is done right and with very affordable prices.”
“Monte and Hunter came out on a Sunday (morning no less!) to help us with a mess from a backed up sewer. Lots of roots! They used two different sized cutters with a monster snake and cleaned it out all the way to the city sewer. We'd had another "sewer service" a few weeks ago and the experience was night and day different. I definitely recommend them.”
“Called at 4pm, clean out was finished by 7:30! Very reasonably priced. Monty was great!”
