Drain Cleaning

Bloomington's housing stock includes historic homes in the Near West Side and historic downtown, mid-century ranches, and newer developments. Our drain techs use hydro-jetting and camera inspection to clear blockages from grease, tree roots, and sediment.

Common Bloomington Drain Issues

• Tree root intrusion in clay sewer lines (older neighborhoods)
• Grease accumulation in kitchen drains
• Storm debris backups during spring thaws

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water during a Bloomington winter is an emergency. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters across McLean County. Bloomington's hard water shortens water heater life — annual flushing is recommended.

Water Heater Services

• Pilot light and thermocouple repair
• Tankless water heater descaling
• Same-day replacement for failed units
• Expansion tank installation per Illinois code

Leak Detection

Bloomington's freeze-thaw cycles and aging infrastructure make hidden leaks a constant threat. Our electronic leak detection finds slab leaks, wall leaks, and underground line breaks before they damage your foundation.

Leak Detection Services

• Acoustic leak detection for underground lines
• Thermal imaging for wall and ceiling leaks
• Slab leak pinpointing and repair
• Meter verification and pressure testing

Local Context
