Common Plumbing Problems in Palatine

The homes in Palatine feature a diverse range of ages and architectural styles, each with their own plumbing characteristics. Combined with our local climate and water conditions, this creates unique challenges for homeowners.

For example, our region's hard water contains a high concentration of minerals, which can build up inside pipes and fixtures over time. This mineral scale reduces water flow, decreases the efficiency of water heaters, and can eventually lead to clogs and corrosion.

The dramatic temperature shifts of Illinois winters also put significant stress on plumbing systems. Pipes are susceptible to freezing and bursting if not properly insulated, a risk requiring homeowners' diligent attention.

Furthermore, many basements in the area rely on sump pumps to prevent flooding during spring thaws and heavy rains. A sump pump failure can lead to significant water damage in a very short amount of time.

From persistent slow drains to dripping faucets and aging water heaters, our team has seen and resolved every type of plumbing issue common to our community.

Modern Methods for Drain Cleaning

A backed-up drain is a common frustration, but finding a lasting solution goes beyond temporary fixes. Many homeowners reach for liquid drain cleaners, not realizing these harsh chemicals can damage pipes and leave the core of the blockage behind.

At Intelligent Service, we address clogs with proven techniques that clear the line completely without harming your plumbing. Our process begins with identifying the specific cause of the clog. From there, we explain our findings and recommend the right solution for your home.

Some of the methods we rely on include:

Mechanical snaking. We use a flexible cable, or auger, to rotate through the pipe, breaking apart or retrieving obstructions like hair, soap scum, and foreign objects.
Hydro jetting. For more significant buildup from grease and sludge, this technique uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the pipe's interior walls, clearing away accumulated debris and helping to prevent future clogs.
Video camera inspection. This allows us to see the exact cause and location of a blockage inside the pipe, which is particularly helpful for recurring issues and enables us to present you with a clear and accurate recommendation.

What Your Neighbors Are Saying

“Quick appointment and arrival, honest assessment of the work to be done and a fair price.”
Situation was resolved quickly and everything is back to working as usual. Lowden is a great technician and a nice guy. I highly recommend Intelligent Service.

“Knowledgable & Patient”
“He prioritizes customer service and devises a plan that is best for the homeowner!”

- Javeria A.
“I will be using this company again.”
James was very thorough at checking for issues. It turned out all we needed was silicon caulk that a previous contractor had omitted. So the cost was minimal and there was no up selling.

- Steve S.
“I would fully recommend Intelligent to anyone with an old home that perhaps was not updated correctly in the past- and needs a creative thinker to solve your weird plumbing problems.”
Edgar from Intelligent Service was the best plumber I've ever had. He was kind, courteous, and a great problem solver. As with most repair jobs, once you open that wall, a million unexpected things go wrong. Edgar solved every problem and did so in a way that kept the job from turning into a massive beast of torn out tile or cut-outs behind cabinets, blah blah blah. I would fully recommend Intelligent to anyone with an old home that perhaps was not updated correctly in the past- and needs a creative thinker to solve your weird plumbing problems.

Also- the person who called me to schedule everything and check on times was very well spoken, kind, and competent- something I unfortunately have found lacking in many repair service companies of late. So kudos to the office side of this company as well!

- Teegan N.
