Summer break boredom has apparently begun. If your cleanout doesn't have a cap-call us asap. Picture the scene..."Grab that brick Charlie!" (Plop) "There's room for more! Grab another one!" (Plop)... Several bricks...rocks and toys later Charlie managed to fill the pipe and stop the toilet from working all at the same time! (And it's only early June!) Happy summer break!

This sewer in Steger, Illinois was rodded just one year ago… and this is what came back earlier this week. 🌳😳

Roots don’t wait — especially in older sewer lines. Skipping preventative rodding to save money today can turn into a costly mistake down the road, including a full-blown sewer backup disaster.

🚫 Don’t pour grease down the drain! 🚫
It may be liquid when it’s hot, but grease cools and hardens inside your pipes—especially in cold weather. When temperatures drop, grease can freeze in the pipe as well, leading to stubborn clogs, backups, and costly repairs. Even worse, it can combine with other debris to create massive sewer blockages.

✅ Let grease cool
✅ Pour it into a container
✅ Throw it in the trash

Your pipes will thank you!

❄️ Cold Weather Reminder From Reid & Pederson Drainage ❄️

Freezing temperatures don’t just affect water supply lines—drainage pipes can freeze too. A few simple steps can help protect your plumbing.

👉 Open cabinet doors under sinks—especially those on exterior walls—to allow warm air to circulate around pipes.
👉 Let faucets drip slightly if temps drop well below freezing.
👉 Avoid pouring grease or food scraps down drains, which can increase the risk of freezing.

A few small precautions now can help prevent frozen or burst pipes later! Stay warm and stay safe this winter. 🧤🔥

2026 had only just begun when heavy roots in the pipe had stolen all the fun-sad to say that drainage was done. A technician was sent to rod and to clean; one could say that the roots were being super mean. Investing in prevention is best- don't put drainage to the test. 2,940 5-star reviews can attest that Reid & Pederson does far better than all of the rest!
