Tell us what is happening. Sewer backups and drains that will not clear are prioritized.

Hydro jetting or rodding clears the blockage and cleans the pipe wall based on what the camera found.
The drain is tested to confirm it runs freely, and you hear what caused the clog.
In Frankfort, IL, sewer line cleaning is a call local plumbers get often, and the reasons are local. Frankfort, in Will County, mixes historic downtown homes with newer subdivisions on larger lots. Older properties may run clay or cast iron sewer lines prone to root intrusion, while heavy seasonal rain stresses lines across the whole area.
The main sewer line carries waste from every drain in the house to the city sewer or septic system. Over the years it collects grease, scale, and tree roots, especially in older Richton Park homes with clay pipe, until the line narrows and the whole house starts to back up.
Local plumbers serving Frankfort provide hydro jetting, drain cleaning, sewer line cleaning, and sewer repair, with a camera inspection that turns a backup into a clear diagnosis.
A sewer camera shows roots, grease, cracks, offsets, and bellies in the line in real time. It confirms whether the line can be cleaned with jetting or whether a section needs repair.

Main line cleaning is a different job from clearing one fixture, and in Frankfort the boundary between public main and private lateral decides who handles it.
Frankfort runs its own water and sewer utility rather than buying the service, and it operates its own wastewater treatment capacity along with wells, water storage, and iron removal. Its reach extends past its own borders: neighboring Tinley Park lists the Village of Frankfort as one of the entities that treats wastewater for part of its Will County side.
Because Frankfort is a Will County village that grew substantially in recent decades, its housing stock skews newer than the older Cook County suburbs to the north. That usually means PVC laterals rather than clay tile. PVC does not suffer root intrusion at joints the way clay does, but it can still sag, separate, or collect grease, and a newer line that keeps clogging is often a pitch or installation problem rather than a root problem. That distinction changes what a plumber should look for.
On a main line, most plumbers start with a cable machine to cut an opening and restore flow, then recommend a camera to see why it closed up. If roots are the cause, cleaning is maintenance rather than a one-time fix, and lines with a known root problem often get put on a recurring interval instead of waiting for the next backup.

Answers
When more than one drain is affected at the same time, or a lower fixture like a basement drain backs up, the main line is the likely cause rather than a single clog.
