Highland town sits just west of Gary with many 1950s ranch homes along Kennedy Avenue and 45th Street that still rely on original clay and cast-iron lines. These older drains collect grease and roots easily, especially when winter lake-effect snow melts and sends extra water into the system. Drainly Pro reaches these streets quickly from the 959 E 21st Ave shop to clear blockages before they back up into basements.
Residents near Main Square Park and the Highland Public Library often deal with slow kitchen drains after heavy spring rains because the flat terrain around the Little Calumet River lets water sit. Our crew uses targeted hydro-jetting sized for these narrow residential lines rather than citywide equipment, keeping the work contained to the property and avoiding disruption on busy Kennedy Avenue.
When a clog hits on a Saturday morning in Highland town, same-day response matters. We keep the schedule open through 2pm on Saturdays so homeowners in the blocks around Highland High School can get help without waiting until Monday.

Drain Cleaning in Highland town — Local Notes
- •1950s-era homes along 45th Street and Parrish Avenue commonly have 3-inch clay laterals that crack from shifting Lake County soil, letting tree roots enter after winter snowmelt.
- •Flat lots near the Little Calumet River mean poor natural drainage, so heavy rains push sediment into sewer lines faster than in hillier parts of the county.
- •Narrow side yards in the Highland Manor subdivision limit equipment access, requiring smaller jetter hoses and hand-dig access points more often than in newer Merrillville subdivisions.
- •Lake-effect snow loads add sudden water volume in February and March, turning minor grease clogs into full backups on streets like 41st Avenue.
