Basement floor drains are easy to forget about until they back up, crack, or start letting groundwater in where it doesn't belong. A new floor drain install like this one takes more than dropping a fitting in a hole. Our plumbers cut and set the drain properly, make sure the trap seal is right, and tie everything in so it drains away the way it should. It's the kind of plumbing services work that pays off big when heavy fall rain or a spring thaw puts pressure on your basement. • Floor drain installation and repair • Drain cleaning and clogged drain service • Leak detection to find hidden moisture problems • Sewer line repair with free video camera inspection • Emergency plumber available 24/7, no extra fees for nights or weekends Around McHenry and the surrounding Lake and McHenry County area, older homes often have floor drains that were never installed right or have simply worn out over the decades.

If your floor drain is slow, cracked, or missing altogether, reach out to Family Rooter Plumbing and Sewer IL and get it handled before the next big storm. 🔩

Rainy fall weeks are when a sump pump earns its keep, and a brand new install like this one is what peace of mind looks like. A properly seated pump with a sealed basin cover keeps groundwater moving out of your basement instead of into it. Our plumbers handle the full setup, from cutting and setting the pit to discharge line routing, so everything works the way it should when the next heavy storm rolls through. If your current pump is older, noisy, or cycling nonstop, it may be telling you something before it quits at the worst possible time. ✔ Sump pump installation and replacement ✔ Proactive maintenance checks on pumps, water heaters, and sewer lines ✔ Leak detection with thermal imaging for hidden moisture ✔ Emergency plumber available 24/7, no extra fees for nights or weekends Homeowners in Round Lake know how fast a wet October can turn a dry basement into a soggy one.

Don't wait for the next big rain to test your pump. Contact Family Rooter Plumbing and Sewer IL and schedule your sump pump inspection or installation today. 💧

Tree roots don't take winters off. Even with snow on the ground, they're still working their way into cracked sewer lines. This is what we find more often than you'd think: roots that have pushed straight through a pipe joint and grown thick enough to choke the whole line. Homeowners usually notice slow drains, gurgling toilets, or backups long before they ever see the cause. That's where sewer line repair and a free video camera inspection come in. Our plumbers use high-resolution cameras to pinpoint the invasion, then clear it with power rodding or hydro jetting before repairing the damaged section. • Drain cleaning for root-related blockages • Sewer line repair for cracked or collapsed pipes • Clogged drain service with free camera inspection • Emergency plumber available 24/7, no extra fees for nights or weekends If you're in Fox Lake and your drains have been acting up, fall is the right time to get ahead of it. Frozen ground makes excavation harder, and a backed-up sewer line in January is nobody's idea of fun. Our plumbing services always come with honest, upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect. Reach out to Family Rooter Plumbing and Sewer IL today and let's get your sewer line flowing the way it should. 🌳
