As the holidays arrive, kitchens across Bloomington-Normal work harder than ever. More cooking, more dishes, and more guests can put unexpected strain on your drains and garbage disposal. That’s why December is one of the busiest times for our drain and sewer team at Covenant Plumbing. A small clog today can easily become a frustrating backup right in the middle of your holiday gathering.

We live in and love our Bloomington community, and our commitment to honesty, upfront pricing, and guaranteed work is the foundation of our covenant to you.

When something backs up, one question matters most: is this a simple drain clog, a garbage disposal issue, or a deeper sewer problem? Our experts help you find the answer quickly, so you can get back to enjoying the season.

Why Holiday Plumbing Problems Happen

Between large meals, nonstop dishwashing, and heavy sink usage, your plumbing encounters much more than it does on a typical week. Older pipes or systems with existing buildup are especially vulnerable during this time.

Common Causes of Holiday Drain Issues

Garbage disposal jams: Overfilled disposals or the wrong food items — like peels, bones, and fibrous scraps — can stop the unit instantly.
Drain line buildup: Grease, soap, and food particles harden inside the pipe, leading to slow water flow or complete blockage.
Sewer line stress: When multiple drains show problems at once, the issue may be deeper in the main line rather than in a single kitchen fixture.

Knowing whether the clog is coming from the disposal, the drain in the wall, or the sewer line helps ensure the right solution the first time.

Covenant’s December Drain & Sewer Specials

We want homeowners to avoid last-minute plumbing emergencies, which is why our December specials focus on early detection and cost-effective solutions. This month, we’re offering a free sewer line camera inspection with qualifying drain cleaning appointments, making it easier to understand what’s happening inside your plumbing system.

Along with this, we offer savings on sewer work and low monthly payment options for sewer line replacements. These specials are designed to help you fix problems confidently without the financial stress of unexpected repairs.

How We Diagnose and Resolve Drain and Sewer Problems

Step 1: Identify the Source

We start by determining whether the issue is caused by:

the garbage disposal
the kitchen drain
the main sewer line
a city sewer concern

Finding the exact source prevents unnecessary work and gives you a clear path forward.

Step 2: Recommend the Right Fix

With the cause identified, we walk you through the most effective solution using upfront pricing. This may involve:

resetting or unjamming the garbage disposal
clearing the drain line
performing a sewer line camera inspection
repairing or replacing damaged sewer piping

Our goal is to provide practical, long-term solutions instead of temporary fixes.

Step 3: Ensure Long-Term Confidence

Frequent clogs often signal deeper issues in the sewer line. A camera inspection helps confirm what’s happening inside your pipes. If repairs are needed, our financing options make it easier to move forward without delaying important work during the holidays.
