Maintaining a commercial property in Chicago comes with its unique set of challenges. One aspect that often gets overlooked until a problem arises is your property’s drainage systems, specifically its triple basin system.
Although you probably don’t give much thought to — or even know much about — your property’s triple basin system, these plumbing fixtures are an essential part of how your building collects rainwater and directs it safely into the municipal sewer system.
At A&J Sewer Service, we understand the critical role that a well-maintained triple basin system plays in preventing water-related issues and why having these systems cleaned periodically is an absolute necessity for all businesses. Our professional plumbers are here to help you stay ahead of problems with unmatched triple basin cleaning services in Chicago and the nearby areas. Whether you need emergency services for severe issues with your drainage systems or a simple indoor catch basin clean-out, we have all the necessary equipment needed to get the job done with precision and re-establish proper water flow throughout your property.

Triple basin systems are multi-faceted drainage solutions designed to handle various types of wastewater and groundwater. A triple basin system typically includes a sink basin, grease and oil separators, catch basins, and storm drains. Here’s how it all works together:
The sink basin collects greywater from sinks, dishwashers, and laundry machines. This greywater is then directed towards the grease and oil separators. Proper maintenance of this component is crucial to prevent build-up and ensure water flows smoothly into the municipal sewer system.
As the greywater passes through these separators, grease and oil build-up are removed from the water. This process helps to prevent blockages in the drain lines and keeps harmful pollutants out of the local waterways. These components also need to be cleaned periodically to maintain their efficiency and prevent clogging. We specialize in performing maintenance for grease traps, so call us today for cooking oil collection. Thanks for helping keep our planet greener!
Catch basins collect rainwater and prevent debris from entering the municipal sewer system or local waterways. Indoor catch basins collect water indoors, while outdoor catch basins are essential for managing runoff from parking lots and other outdoor areas. Regular indoor and outdoor catch basin cleaning can help you avoid a frustrating plumbing problem in the future.
Storm drains are integral to the triple basin system, as they collect rainwater from roofs, parking lots, and other areas and channel it into the underground piping system. This ensures that water flows smoothly into the municipal sewer system, preventing backups and overflows.
When it comes to maintaining your triple basin system, you need a service provider you can trust. A&J Sewer Service offers reliable and efficient triple basin cleaning services in Chicago that are tailored to the unique needs of commercial properties. Our experienced team understands the complexities of these systems and has all the necessary equipment to handle even the most challenging cleaning tasks. From indoor catch basin maintenance to outdoor catch basin pumping and storm drain repair, we’ve got you covered.
Our triple basin cleaning services are comprehensive.
If hydro jet rodding equipment doesn’t do the trick, don’t worry… we’ve got a few other tricks up our sleeves! We utilize industry-grade vacuum pumps to remove solids and debris, further ensuring that your triple basin system is properly cleaned. Vacuum pumps work by creating a strong suction force that effectively pulls out accumulated sludge, sediment, and other materials from your catch basins, leaving your drainage systems clear and ready to handle the next heavy rainfall or wastewater load. Vacuum pumping services are ideal for older homes or sensitive drainage systems that can’t handle high-pressure water.
Customer satisfaction is our top priority, which is why we offer same-day service and immediate service options to address any plumbing problem at your earliest convenience. We provide a free estimate for all jobs so you know what to expect without any hidden fees. Whether you’re dealing with a sewage backup, obstructed drain line, or indoor catch basin issue, our team is ready to race to the rescue. Plumbing woes will become a thing of the past with A&J Sewer Service on your side!
Having your pipe walls cleaned periodically via hydro jet rodding or catch basin pumping is the single most effective way to prevent build-up commonly found in sink basins, catch basins, storm drains, and underground piping. Although performing maintenance may seem like an extra expense at first, it’s well worth the investment to remove solids and other gunk from your catch basins and pipe walls. Not only will you avoid fines for violating Illinois EPA requirements regarding harmful pollutants in our local waterways, but you’ll also help prevent build-up in the future, helping you avoid potential plumbing disasters that always seem to pick the worst possible time to strike.
We are commonly asked about recommended intervals for triple basin cleaning service. While there’s no hard and fast rule for performing maintenance and we’re always available for emergency services at your earliest convenience, we recommend scheduling catch basin pumping or hydro jet rodding services at least once every 6 months. If it’s been more than 6 months since you last booked triple basin cleaning services in Chicago, call us today to set up basin cleaning or pumping services.
If your Chicagoland-area business sees a lot of foot traffic, your plumbing systems are heavily used, or you’ve encountered any of the catch basin or storm drain issues commonly found in older buildings, we may recommend performing maintenance more frequently for proper flow. Watch out for these plumbing issues that indicate that your system needs to be properly cleaned by our triple basin experts.
Slow drainage in your sink basins, floor drains, or storm drains is a clear sign that you need triple basin pumping or cleaning service. When water drains slowly, it can indicate that the pipe walls are accumulating fat, oil, and grease (FOG) build-up, especially if you work in a restaurant or other location where these materials are commonly found. Leftover grease in your catch basins and drainage systems does not only obstruct proper flow but can also lead to unpleasant odors and harmful pollutants entering our local waterways. Our team has all the necessary equipment to remove solids and prevent build-up from accumulating in the future.
Unpleasant smells coming from your drainage systems, indoor or outdoor catch basins, or other plumbing fixtures are signs of organic matter stuck in your sewer system. These smells can permeate your Chicagoland-area property, creating an uncomfortable environment for employees and visitors alike. Professional catch basin cleaning can remove the source of the odor, restore a clean environment, and prevent build-up in the future. Our hydro jet rodding services are perfect for this essential task since hydro jet rodding cleans pipe walls thoroughly and completely using powerful, concentrated streams of high-pressure water.
If you experience frequent backups in your sinks, storm drains, or catch basins, it could indicate that your plumbing system is obstructed. This issue requires immediate service to prevent further complications. Frequent backups are often caused by accumulated grease, oil, and other debris that obstruct proper flow. Ignoring this issue can lead to more severe problems, including damage to catch basins and underground piping, the risk of more severe flooding, and even fines for violating Illinois EPA requirements (especially if harmful pollutants like chemicals are involved). Call us today, and we’ll send a plumber out to provide immediate service at your earliest convenience, whether you need catch basin pumping services, hydro jet rodding, or other plumbing solutions.
Gurgling noises coming from your drains are an early warning sign that there might be an obstruction in an indoor catch basin or storm drain. These noises occur when air bubbles are trapped in your sewer system due to tree roots, drain build-up, or other blockages that haven’t been properly cleaned out, preventing proper water flow in or out of the catch basins. Our plumbing company has all the necessary equipment to identify and resolve these issues, from vacuum pumps to jetting tools and beyond.
If water starts to pool in areas of your property where it normally wouldn’t, this may be another sign that your catch basin system is not working correctly. This can happen when underground piping is obstructed or when catch basins are full and unable to handle additional water flow. Scheduling prompt outdoor catch basin pumping or cleaning service can prevent extensive damage and costly repairs.
Regular maintenance and hydro jet rodding services are necessary to remove solids from catch basins and storm drains. When you see leaves, dirt, and other debris commonly found outside accumulating around storm drain or outdoor catch basin areas, it’s a sign that the system is overwhelmed and needs immediate service. This build-up can obstruct proper flow, especially if you don’t have your catch basins cleaned periodically, so call us today for same-day service and we’ll give you a hand.
A less obvious but important sign that your triple basin system has not been properly cleaned is an increase in insect activity around your drains. Stagnant water and debris, especially in outdoor catch basin areas, can create a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests. If you notice more insects around your property, having your catch basins cleaned periodically may resolve this issue.
The presence of mold or mildew around your catch basins or drains is a clear sign of moisture problems due to poor drainage. Mold and mildew can pose health risks and damage building materials. Water stains on the walls of your building or on the pavement near your drains can also indicate leaks or overflow issues with your storm drains or catch basins. If you notice mold, mildew, or water stains in unusual places, call us today for same-day service. We’ll send out a punctual and courteous professional plumber to clean and restore your triple basin system.
