Draft Beer Line Cleaning and Draft System Service in Waukegan
Waukegan is the Lake County seat, a lakefront city in the eastern part of the county with North Chicago on its southern edge and Beach Park to the north. Park City, Gurnee, Green Oaks and Wadsworth line its western side, and the county's courthouse and administration building stand on County Street.
Downtown Waukegan sits close to the harbor and the Union Pacific North Metra station and is known for its arts scene: galleries, murals, the monthly ArtWauk and the historic Genesee Theatre on Genesee Street, which hosts live shows. Some downtown restaurants put on live entertainment of their own. Down on the lakefront are a marina and the municipal beach, whose summer season runs from just before Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.
That mix gives Waukegan's draft work some range. A downtown room that fills before a show, a tavern that pours steadily all week, a banquet hall that runs several bars for one event and then sits quiet: each needs clean lines and the right pressure and temperature. We handle the cleaning along with repairs, glycol and CO2 service, and installations when a business adds taps or opens a new space.
Waukegan is part of our Lake County service area. See the Lake County page.

Common questions
Our downtown spot books live music and gets busy around Genesee Theatre shows. When should cleanings happen?
During a quiet stretch, not the hours before a crowd arrives. A tap is out of service while its line is being cleaned, so we book the visit for a morning or a slow weekday and work around the nights you can't spare. Mention your busiest nights in the form and we'll plan from there.
Our beer has started pouring flat. Is that a line cleaning problem?
Usually it points to the gas side instead. Pressure set too low for the line, a gas blend that doesn't suit the system, or a leak that lets pressure bleed away can all leave beer flat. We check the regulators and gas supply, leak-check from the tank to the keg, and reset pressures to match each beer. CO2 and beverage gas service.
