One slow sink can point to a clog near the fixture. When several drains back up at once, or a floor drain gurgles after every load of laundry, the restriction may be in the main sewer line. TR Miller can assess drain symptoms and discuss cleaning, camera inspection, or repair according to what the line actually needs, with pricing before approved work begins.
Drain problems rarely stay small. A slow tub, a toilet that gurgles when the washer drains, or a floor drain that smells after heavy rain can all be early signs that something is restricting the line. TR Miller helps Addison homeowners work out whether the issue is a simple clog at one fixture or a problem farther down the line, so you don’t pay for work you don’t need.
When you call, tell us which drains are affected, how long it has been happening, and whether it comes and goes. That helps our team plan the visit. We explain what we find, show you the options, and give you a price before approved work begins.

Permits for Sewer and Water Line Work
The Village of Addison requires a permit for many furnace, air conditioner, water heater, electrical service, and sewer or water line projects, each with its own requirements. We’ll discuss the applicable process with the Village’s Community Development Department before a qualifying project moves ahead.
If Sewage Is Backing Up Into Your Home
Avoid using water while sewage is entering the home. Call the Village of Addison Environmental Services Division first at (630) 279-2140 during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.), or dial the Addison Police Department non-emergency line at (630) 543-3080 after hours. After the public line is checked, contact TR Miller if the issue is on the homeowner’s side or repair is needed.
Mainline Cleanout in Addison
When several drains slow down or back up at once, the blockage is often in the main line. A mainline cleanout clears buildup, grease, and debris from the pipe that carries wastewater out of your home. A technician can also check whether your home has an accessible cleanout fitting, which makes future service easier. Recurring blockages can mean the pipe needs a closer look rather than another cleaning.
Mainline Installation and Repiping in Addison
If a main line has failed or is no longer worth repairing, replacement may be the better option. Our team can discuss installing a new main line or repiping sections of the system, and explain what the work involves for your yard, basement, or driveway. Many projects require a permit, so we’ll talk through the process with you before work moves ahead.
Sewer Camera Inspection in Addison
A camera inspection lets a technician see inside the pipe instead of guessing. We can look for roots, cracks, bellies, or buildup, then show you what we find. The inspection helps you decide whether cleaning, lining, or repair fits the line’s condition. It is also useful after repeated backups.
Trenchless Pipe Lining (CIPP) in Addison
Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining repairs a damaged sewer line from the inside by placing a new liner in the existing pipe. For some lines, it can mean less digging than a full replacement. Whether it is an option depends on the pipe’s condition, so a camera inspection usually comes first. We’ll explain whether lining or another repair fits your line.
Hydro Jetting in Addison
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of a pipe, clearing grease, scale, and roots that a standard snake may leave behind. It can be a good fit for recurring clogs. A technician will first assess the line, since the right method depends on the pipe’s condition.
Aging Infrastructure in Addison’s Older Neighborhoods
Addison began as a small farming settlement and grew quickly after World War II, so homes across the village were built across several decades. In older homes, the sewer line between the house and the street may be original. Pipe materials, joints, and tree roots near the line can all affect how well it drains over time. The condition of the line matters more than the age of the house alone, which is why we recommend looking inside the pipe before deciding between cleaning and repair. Sewer lines on public property are the Village’s responsibility, so if you are unsure where a problem sits, start with the steps in the backup section above.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does TR Miller clean drains and repair sewer lines in Addison?
A: Yes. TR Miller serves Addison homeowners with drain clearing, main line cleaning, camera inspections, and sewer repair and replacement. Call with your address and a description of the problem so our team can confirm service availability.
Q: What should I do if sewage backs up into my home?
A: Stop using water and keep people and pets away from the affected area. The Village of Addison asks residents to call Environmental Services at (630) 279-2140 during business hours, or the Police Department non-emergency line at (630) 543-3080 after hours, so the public sewer line can be inspected first. Contact TR Miller afterward if the problem requires homeowner-side service.
Q: How do I know if the problem is one drain or the main sewer line?
A: One slow sink usually points to a clog near that fixture. When several drains back up at once, the restriction may be in the main sewer line. A technician can assess the symptoms and recommend the next step.
Q: What is a sewer camera inspection?
A: A camera inspection lets a technician look inside the main sewer line to see its condition and find the cause of recurring backups. The results help us explain whether cleaning or repair makes sense.
Q: Do I need a permit for sewer or water line work at my Addison home?
A: The Village requires a permit for many furnace, air conditioner, water heater, electrical service, and sewer or water line projects. Requirements vary by project, and minor repairs may not need one. Confirm the scope with our team and the Village’s Community Development Department before work begins.
