Our Comprehensive Range of Drain Solutions
A residential drain system is a complex network that requires specialized attention to ensure waste moves out efficiently while keeping storm water in its proper place. Given Mount Prospect’s local soil conditions and Village ordinances, we provide targeted care for your underground infrastructure.
- Main Sewer Line Rodding: We use industrial-strength mechanical cables to cut through heavy root masses and solid debris, providing immediate relief for backed-up systems.
- High-Pressure Hydro-Jetting: For a "like-new" clean, we use 4,000 PSI water jets to scour grease and scale from your pipe walls, a far more effective solution for local clay tile pipes.
- HD Video Camera Inspections: We provide a visual "walkthrough" of your drains, identifying cracks or "bellies" so you have a clear understanding of your system’s health.
- Clear Water Compliance Audits: We inspect your sump pump and downspouts to ensure they are not illegally connected to the sanitary sewer, helping you avoid Village fines.
- Yard Drainage and French Drains: We solve yard flooding issues by installing professional drainage systems that move standing water away from your foundation according to local code.
- Kitchen and Bath Drain Clearing: From stubborn hair clogs in the shower to grease buildup in the kitchen, we restore full flow to your interior fixtures with minimal disruption.
Addressing these essential areas with expert care ensures your home remains a safe, clean environment for your family.

The Importance of Professional Drain Expertise in 2026
Attempting to clear a major drain blockage with hardware store rentals or chemical cleaners can lead to permanent pipe damage. In Mount Prospect, where clay tile is common, the wrong cable size can actually cause a pipe to collapse, turning a simple clog into an expensive excavation project. A professional technician has the diagnostic skill to identify a structural failure before a tool is ever inserted into the line.
Choosing a licensed expert also ensures that your home remains compliant with Village of Mount Prospect ordinances. This is especially vital in 2026, as the Village's Clear Water Elimination Program requires specific discharge standards for all residential properties. Professionals ensure your drainage doesn't negatively impact your neighbors or the municipal sewer capacity.
Relying on a professional team also protects your property value. Identifying and solving a recurring sewer issue with a permanent trenchless fix—rather than repeated rodding—is a major asset during a home sale. Investing in expert care gives you the peace of mind that your home is safe from biohazards, your yard is dry, and your plumbing is operating at its maximum efficiency.
Real Proof That Smart Service Works

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.- Teegan N.
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! -
Our tech took the time to explain the work required for our plumbing. I’ve worked with other companies over the years, and this company goes above and beyond as far as customer service.- Scott S.
