In Homewood, IL, sewer line cleaning is a call local plumbers get often, and the reasons are local. Homewood is an established South Suburban village where many homes date back decades, which means original clay and cast iron sewer lines are common. Mature parkway trees add the other half of the equation: roots that work into aging pipe joints and cause slow drains and backups.
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 Homewood clear those lines with rodding or hydro jetting and use a sewer camera to confirm whether roots, grease, or pipe damage is the cause.
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 Homewood the boundary between public main and private lateral decides who handles it.
Homewood's wastewater is treated by the Thorn Creek Basin Sanitary District, the same district that serves Chicago Heights, Crete, Park Forest, South Chicago Heights, and Steger. The district was created in 1928, which tells you something useful: the collection network feeding it has been developing for the better part of a century, and the pipe in the ground around Homewood spans many decades of materials and installation standards.
Homewood is also a village where the difference between clear water and sewage matters. Groundwater that gets into a sanitary sewer through cracked pipe, failed joints, or an improperly connected sump discharge is called inflow and infiltration, and it is what turns an ordinary rainstorm into a basement backup for the houses at the low end of a run. If your backups track with heavy rain rather than with how much laundry you did, that pattern is worth mentioning when you call.
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.

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.
