Our Reviews
You shouldn’t have to worry about sewage backing up into your home or standing water in your yard. When your septic system works properly, waste flows where it’s supposed to go, odors stay contained, and you can use your plumbing without second-guessing every flush.
A functioning septic system means your family stays healthy, your property value stays protected, and you avoid those emergency calls that always seem to happen at the worst possible time. More importantly, you’re not looking at a $10,000 system replacement because someone caught the problem early and fixed it properly.
The difference between a quick patch job and real septic tank plumbing work shows up months later when other companies’ “fixes” fail and you’re dealing with the same problems all over again.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been handling septic tank plumbing throughout the Chicagoland area, including Exposition View, with the kind of local expertise that comes from actually understanding how Illinois soil conditions, weather patterns, and regulations affect your septic system.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because septic work isn’t something you want to trust to someone who’s learning on your property. Our technicians know the difference between a temporary fix and a solution that actually addresses the root cause of your septic problems.
When you call us, you’re working with professionals who’ve seen every type of septic emergency Exposition View properties can throw at us, and we have the equipment and experience to handle it right the first time.
We start with a thorough assessment of your septic system to identify what’s actually causing the problem, not just the symptoms you’re seeing. This means checking tank levels, testing inlet and outlet lines, and examining your drain field to understand the complete picture.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we explain exactly what needs to be done and give you upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprises, no upselling, just honest recommendations based on what your system actually needs.
The repair work itself depends on your specific situation, but whether it’s hydro jetting clogged lines, replacing damaged baffles, or restoring your drain field, we use professional-grade equipment and proven methods that fix the problem for the long term. You’ll know when we’re finished because your system works the way it’s supposed to.

Our septic tank plumbing services cover the full range of what Exposition View properties need, from emergency repairs when your system backs up to preventive maintenance that keeps problems from happening in the first place. We handle septic line clog repair, drain field restoration, tank pumping, and system inspections.
Exposition View’s clay-heavy soil can create unique drainage challenges that affect how septic systems perform, especially during Illinois’ wet seasons. We understand these local conditions and adjust our approach accordingly, whether that means more frequent maintenance schedules or specific techniques for clearing stubborn clogs.
We also provide emergency septic repairs because septic problems don’t wait for business hours. When sewage starts backing up into your home or you’re dealing with standing water in your yard, you need someone who can respond quickly and has the equipment to handle the situation properly, not just temporarily.
Most residential septic tanks in Exposition View should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, but this depends on your household size, water usage, and tank capacity. The EPA recommends this frequency because it prevents solids from building up to levels that can clog your drain field or cause backups.
If you have a larger family or use a garbage disposal regularly, you might need more frequent pumping. Exposition View’s soil conditions can also affect how quickly your tank fills up, since clay-heavy soil doesn’t drain as efficiently as sandy soil.
The best approach is to have your system inspected annually so we can check sludge levels and recommend pumping before you run into problems. It’s much cheaper than dealing with emergency repairs or drain field replacement.
Call us immediately if you notice sewage backing up into your home, multiple drains backing up at once, or standing water in your yard near the septic tank or drain field. These are signs your system is failing and can create serious health hazards.
Other warning signs include strong sewage odors inside or outside your home, gurgling sounds when you flush toilets or run water, and unusually green grass over your septic tank area. These symptoms often indicate blockages, tank overflow, or drain field problems that need professional attention.
Don’t wait on these issues. Septic emergencies get worse quickly, and what starts as a manageable repair can turn into a complete system replacement if you delay getting professional help.
Many drain field problems can be repaired without full replacement, especially if we catch them early. Issues like root intrusion, minor pipe damage, or localized soil compaction often respond well to targeted repairs using hydro jetting or pipe relining techniques.
However, if your drain field has widespread failure, severe soil contamination, or the pipes are completely collapsed, replacement might be necessary. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your property and budget.
The key is getting professional evaluation before assuming you need complete replacement. Many homeowners are surprised to learn their drain field issues can be fixed for a fraction of replacement cost when addressed by experienced septic professionals.
Emergency septic repair costs vary depending on what’s wrong with your system, but most common issues like clogged lines or pump failures range from $300 to $1,500. More complex problems like drain field repairs can cost $2,000 to $5,000, which is still much less than complete system replacement.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. Emergency service calls don’t mean emergency pricing – we charge fair rates based on the actual work needed, not the urgency of your situation.
The most expensive septic repair is the one you put off until it becomes a complete system failure. Early intervention almost always costs less than waiting until you’re dealing with sewage in your basement or a completely failed drain field.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent septic problems in Exposition View and throughout the Chicagoland area. When you’re dealing with sewage backups or system failures, waiting until tomorrow isn’t an option.
Our emergency response includes assessment, immediate containment of health hazards, and repairs to get your system functioning again. We carry common replacement parts and have the equipment needed to handle most emergency situations without multiple trips.
Same-day service applies to genuine emergencies like backups, overflows, or complete system failures. For routine maintenance or non-urgent repairs, we can typically schedule service within 24-48 hours depending on current demand.
We focus on actually fixing septic problems rather than just treating symptoms. This means using professional hydro jetting equipment to thoroughly clean lines, not just poking holes through clogs, and addressing root causes like damaged baffles or drain field issues that other companies might miss.
Our technicians are licensed specifically for septic work in Illinois and understand local soil conditions, regulations, and the unique challenges Exposition View properties face. We’re not general plumbers who occasionally work on septic systems – this is our specialty.
You also get upfront pricing, honest assessments, and recommendations based on what your system actually needs, not what generates the highest profit margin. We’re locally owned and operated, so our reputation depends on doing right by our neighbors, not maximizing revenue from one-time customers.
