Project Details

Transforming Chicago’s private sewer connections for a cleaner, safer, and more efficient city.

The City of Chicago’s Private Drain Program is an innovative initiative dedicated to enhancing the city’s sewer infrastructure by addressing the maintenance and repair needs of private drains that link individual properties to municipal sewer lines. These essential upgrades help prevent backups and flooding, improve environmental outcomes, and protect public health. As a key team member, Ardmore Roderick provides comprehensive construction inspection services for approximately 1,600-2,400 drain repairs annually, ensuring the quality, progress, and coordination of work. Through this partnership, the program not only empowers property owners with resources and support but also strengthens the city’s overall sewer system resilience and functionality.

We’re here to help.
