Drain Cleaning & Clogged Pipes in Overland Park, KS

A clogged drain is the single most common call we get, and it is almost never just the drain. Joe Lillis Plumbing clears clogged drains and other plumbing lines throughout Overland Park and the Kansas City metro — kitchen sinks packed with grease, bathroom sinks and tubs slowed by hair and soap, laundry standpipes that overflow, floor drains that back up, and main sewer lines that put water on a finished basement floor.

We start by finding out where the blockage actually is instead of pouring chemicals at it. Store-bought drain chemicals rarely clear a real stoppage, and they sit in the trap eating at older pipe while they fail. We use proper cabling and augering equipment sized to the line, from small drum machines for a lavatory trap arm up to full-size sectional machines for a main line cleanout.

Once the line is flowing, we tell you what caused it. Recurring clogs in the same fixture usually point to something structural — a belly in the line, a partially collapsed section, root intrusion at a clay joint, an improperly vented trap, or a garbage disposer that is not up to the job. Knowing the difference between a one-time stoppage and a developing problem saves Kansas City homeowners real money.

We work in occupied homes and busy commercial kitchens, so we protect the area before we open anything up, contain the mess, and clean up completely when the work is done. Emergency service is available for backups that cannot wait until morning.
