Drain and Sewer Cleaning
Standing or slow-moving water is an inconvenience in any area of your home. From a pool of water in your shower to a blocked kitchen sink, don’t settle for poorly draining fixtures. Find out how your team at Total Plumbing & Heating can remove the blockage and keep your sewer system operating efficiently in the Rockford, IL, area.
Signs You Need a Drain Cleaning Service
You don’t need to wait until your drain is completely blocked to contact our team. Slow-moving drainage is likely the cause of grease, hair, or other contaminants. If you have a personal septic system, it’s important to have the tank pumped after three to five years of use. Waiting too long could create a buildup and cause your fixtures to drain slower than normal.

Drain Cleaning
The most common DIY drain cleaning method is using a clog removal chemical product. Unfortunately, these products can build up in your drain and damage the pipes. They may temporarily remove the clog, or they may not be powerful enough to cut through the blockage.
At Total Plumbing & Heating, we use a drain snake, or an auger, to clear the lines. This process is performed with a professional tool on a cable that slides into the drain and cuts through any clog. If we’re unsure about the source of the slow-moving water, we can also use a camera fed through the drain line to inspect the affected area.
Here are some of the key tools we use to restore your drainage system:
- Cable auger
- Camera inspection tool
- Water jet system
These allow us to clean any floor, appliance, toilet, or sink drain in your home. Contact us if you’re struggling to clear a single drain or your entire home’s sewer lines.
Sewer Cleaning
Sewer cleaning is performed in the same way, but with a larger auger. Sewer lines are much larger and are often buried in your yard. They connect your home’s drain lines with the city sewage system or your personal septic tank.
A large cable with a blade attachment, or a water jet, is used to blast through any clog in your sewer line. This could be caused by grease, food scraps, and hair, but it could also be caused by tree roots affecting the line.
Sewage System Replacement
Tree roots can squeeze into your sewer line through small gaps and create a major blockage point. Over time, they can also expand a small gap into a major leak. This could create a sewage leak in your yard.
Work with our team at Total Plumbing & Heating for full-service sewage system replacement in the Rockford area. We can send a camera into your line to inspect the source of the blockage and monitor any damage. If we determine there’s a leak in your sewage system, our team is capable of carefully excavating it and replacing the affected line.
