Our Reviews
When your septic system works properly, you don’t think about it. You flush, drain, and go about your day without worry. That’s exactly how it should be.
But when something goes wrong, everything stops. Sewage backup in your basement. Bad smells in your yard. Water that won’t drain. These aren’t just inconveniences—they’re health hazards that can contaminate your drinking water and damage your property.
Our septic tank plumbing services get your system back to that invisible, reliable state you need. We handle emergency repairs, routine maintenance, drain field restoration, and complete system overhauls. You get a septic system that works quietly in the background, protecting your home and family like it’s supposed to.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving plumbing problems for Chicago-area homeowners for years. We specialize in the unique challenges that Norridge properties face—from older concrete block septic tanks to catch basin systems that connect to city sewers.

We offer upfront pricing and 24/7 emergency service because septic problems don’t wait for business hours. When you call, you’re getting local expertise backed by professional guarantees.
First, we assess what’s actually wrong. Many septic problems have similar symptoms, but the solutions are different. Our technicians inspect your tank, check your drain field, and test your lines to pinpoint the real issue.

Then we get to work. Our team uses professional-grade equipment, including hydro jetting technology that clears blockages and cleans lines more thoroughly than traditional methods. We complete the job efficiently and clean up afterward, leaving your property in better condition than we found it.
Finally, we test everything to make sure it’s working properly. You get a system that’s reliable and a clear explanation of any maintenance steps that’ll help prevent future problems.

Our septic tank plumbing services cover every aspect of your system. Emergency repairs for immediate problems like sewage backup or system failures. Routine maintenance including pumping, inspections, and preventive care that extends your system’s life. Drain field restoration when your leach field isn’t processing wastewater properly.
We also handle septic line clog repair using hydro jetting technology that removes roots, grease, and debris more effectively than traditional snaking. For Norridge homeowners, this is particularly important because older systems are more prone to root intrusion and sediment buildup.
System installations and replacements when repairs aren’t enough. We work with both modern plastic systems and the concrete block tanks common in older Norridge neighborhoods. Our team understands local soil conditions, permit requirements, and the unique drainage challenges that come with the area’s infrastructure. Every job includes proper permitting, professional installation, and testing to ensure your new system meets all local codes and functions reliably for years.
You need emergency septic repair if you notice sewage backing up into your home, standing water or wet spots in your drain field area, or strong sewage odors inside or outside your house. These are signs of system failure that can create health hazards and property damage.
Other urgent warning signs include toilets that won’t flush or drain slowly, gurgling sounds from drains, or water backing up in your basement. In Norridge’s older neighborhoods, you might also notice wastewater seeping into your foundation—a problem we see with aging concrete block septic tanks.
Don’t wait with these symptoms. Septic emergencies get worse quickly and can contaminate your drinking water or flood your property with sewage. Call for immediate service to protect your home and family’s health.
Septic pumping removes accumulated solids from your tank—it’s routine maintenance that should happen every 3-5 years. Septic tank plumbing repair fixes actual problems with your system like broken pipes, damaged tanks, or failed drain fields.
Think of pumping like changing your car’s oil. It’s preventive maintenance that keeps everything running smoothly. Plumbing repair is like fixing a broken transmission—you need it when something’s actually wrong with the system.
Many Norridge homeowners call for pumping when they actually need repair services. If you’re having backup problems, bad odors, or slow drains, pumping alone won’t solve the issue. You need diagnostic work to identify and fix the underlying problem. We handle both services and can determine which one your system actually needs.
Septic repair costs vary widely depending on what’s wrong with your system. Simple line clogs might cost a few hundred dollars to clear with hydro jetting. More complex problems like drain field restoration or tank replacement can run several thousand dollars.
The key is getting an accurate diagnosis first. Many septic problems have similar symptoms, but completely different solutions and costs. A backup could be a simple clog ($200-500), a damaged line ($800-2000), or a failed drain field ($3000-8000).
We provide upfront pricing after diagnosing your specific situation. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs before any work begins. This prevents the surprise bills that happen when companies start working without proper assessment. Most Norridge homeowners find that investing in proper diagnosis and professional repair costs less than repeated temporary fixes.
Yes, we specialize in the older septic systems found throughout Norridge, including concrete block tanks and catch basin systems that discharge to city sewers. These systems require different expertise than modern plastic installations.
Many plumbers in the area haven’t worked with these older configurations and don’t understand how they function. We’ve repaired hundreds of these systems and know their common failure points—like concrete deterioration, root intrusion, and connection problems with city sewer lines.
Whether your system needs concrete repair, line replacement, or conversion to modern components, we have the experience and equipment to handle it properly. We also understand local permitting requirements for older system modifications and can guide you through any necessary approvals for repairs or upgrades.
Most septic systems should be inspected every 2-3 years, with pumping every 3-5 years depending on household size and usage. However, Norridge’s older systems often need more frequent attention due to their age and construction materials.
Concrete block systems, common in older Norridge neighborhoods, can develop cracks and deterioration that require earlier intervention. We recommend annual inspections for systems over 20 years old to catch problems before they become emergencies.
Regular inspections catch issues like damaged baffles, cracked tanks, or early drain field problems when they’re still manageable and affordable to fix. Waiting until you have backup or odor problems usually means more extensive and expensive repairs. Think of inspections as insurance against major system failures that can cost thousands to repair.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency septic services throughout Norridge and the surrounding Chicago area. Septic emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.

Our emergency service includes immediate assessment, containment of the problem, and either temporary or permanent solutions depending on what your system needs.
