Common services in Lake Forest
Older housing stock and an established tree canopy mean sewer rodding, sewer camera inspection, and overhead sewer conversion are among the most common calls. Water heater service and flood control are also frequent given the age of the area’s plumbing systems.
- Sewer rodding
Gets the line flowing again and shows you why it stopped, so the same backup does not come back next month.
- Sewer camera inspection
See the condition of the line before you spend on the repair.
- Overhead sewer conversion
Raises the sewer above the city main so it cannot back up
- Flood control systems
Keep the street out of your basement during heavy rain.
- Water heater installation

- Hydrojetting
High pressure cleaning for grease and scale
- Lead service line replacement

Danny and Jose did an amazing job working on my main sewer line. A previous company was unable to get it cleared and they put in the time and effort to get it done. Very straightforward without any unnecessary services. I will definitely be using them again for future needs.
Mike B. · Lake Forest, IL · via Google What an outstanding team at Capps Plumbing! Experienced, thorough, customer-oriented, clean, and always on time. Capps plumbers have successfully rodded my sewers, replaced a collapsed sewer in my basement and replaced the 20-year-old hot water heater. Highly recommend Capps.
