Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Summit property owners.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Summit, 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.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to scour pipe walls clean, removing grease, scale, tree roots, and mineral deposits. It is recommended for Summit properties with recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup, or sewer lines blocked by roots. It is the most effective way to restore full flow to your pipes.
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 Summit property without any excavation.
Yes. Scranton Sewer Authority offers preventive sewer and drain maintenance programs for Summit property owners including scheduled line cleaning, annual camera inspections, and grease trap service for commercial kitchens. Preventive maintenance catches developing problems early and extends the life of your sewer system significantly.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Summit 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 Summit homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.
Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Summit, IL take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the severity of the clog and the number of drains affected. Main sewer line cleaning may take longer. Our crews arrive with professional-grade snaking equipment and hydro jetting capability to handle any blockage quickly.
See what our customers have to say about their experience with Scranton Sewer Authority.
"Multiple drains in our old home were slow. The camera showed that the whole main line had grease and mineral buildup. One hydro jetting session and every drain in the house works like new. Amazing results."
"Our kitchen drain had been slow for weeks. The technician used a camera to find a grease buildup about 30 feet down the line, then hydro jetted the whole thing. Drains faster than it has in years. Great service."
"Toilet was overflowing and nothing we tried would fix it. The technician discovered the problem was actually a clog in the main sewer line, not the toilet. He had it cleared in less than an hour. Knowledgeable crew."
