Got a mess you can't maintain?

Sewer backing up

Water coming up through the floor drain or tub? Stop running water and call — this one won't wait.

Drain that won't clear

Plunged it, poured stuff down it, still slow. We'll rod it or jet it and find out why it keeps happening.

Burst or frozen pipe

Shut off the main valve if you can, then call. We repair the line and check the rest for weak spots.

Sump pump quit

Heavy rain and a silent pump is how basements flood. We'll get a new pump in, sized right for your pit.

No hot water

Gas or electric, we repair and replace water heaters — and flush them so the next one lasts longer.

Collapsed storm drain

Standing water in the yard or a soggy spot by the downspout? A camera shows us exactly where it failed.

What we do

Plumbing & sewer services

Illustration of a leaking pipe

Drain cleaning & main line rodding

Kitchen, tub, floor drain or the main sewer line — cleared with a cutting head, not guesswork.

Hydro-jetting

High-pressure water scours grease, roots and buildup off the pipe walls so the clog doesn't come right back.

Sewer camera inspection

We send a camera down the line and show you what we see — roots, breaks, bellies — before anyone digs.

Sump pumps

Replacement, new installs and backup pumps, sized for your basement and tested before we leave.

Water heaters & appliances

Water heaters, dishwashers, disposals, dehumidifiers and water filtration — installed and hooked up right.

Kitchen & bath plumbing

Demo, rough-in, re-piping, new drains and fixtures for your remodel — done to code.

Meet the owner

Evergreen Park born. Honest by upbringing.

Mike "Mikey" Glikis learned the trade apprenticing after high school — and learned something else watching bigger outfits overcharge his neighbors. His dad, Pete, ran a grocery store at 71st and Indiana and treated every customer like family. Mikey started Drain Drama to do plumbing the same way.

An honest rate for a job done exceptionally well. That's the whole business plan.

Keepin' the water movin'

Tub was clogged. Called Mike and he showed up within 10 minutes. Quickly unclogged the drain and was very reasonably priced. I will be calling Mike for any future plumbing needs, highly recommended!
