All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Chicago-area homeowners for years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your property deserves that protection.
Prospect Heights has some unique septic challenges. Older neighborhoods often have catch basin systems that discharge to city sewers. Many contractors haven’t worked with these systems, but we have.
We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in this area. That experience means faster diagnosis, better repairs, and solutions that actually last.
First, we listen to what’s happening with your system. Slow drains, odors, or wet spots in your yard all tell us different things about what’s going wrong.
Next, we locate and inspect your septic tank and drain field. Many homeowners don’t know exactly where their system is located, and that’s fine. We find it quickly using the right equipment.
Then we diagnose the actual problem. Is it a simple clog, a full tank that needs pumping, or something more serious like a damaged drain field? We explain what we find in plain terms and give you upfront pricing before we start any work.

Our septic tank plumbing services cover the full system. Emergency repairs when your system backs up. Regular pumping every 3-5 years to prevent problems. Drain field restoration using hydro jetting technology to clear blockages.

Local regulations matter, and we stay current with Cook County requirements. Your system needs to pass inspection, and our work ensures it will.
Most septic tanks need pumping every 3-5 years, but your specific timeline depends on household size and water usage. A family of four typically needs pumping every 3-4 years.
If you use a garbage disposal frequently or have high water usage, you might need more frequent service. We can inspect your tank and give you a realistic schedule based on how quickly solids accumulate in your specific system.
Skipping regular pumping is expensive. A $400 pumping service prevents thousands in drain field repairs when solids overflow into your leach lines.
Slow drains throughout your house, not just one fixture, often indicate septic problems. Gurgling sounds from toilets or drains when you run water elsewhere in the house are another clear sign.
Outside, look for wet spots or unusually green grass over your drain field. Bad odors near your septic tank or drain field area mean the system isn’t processing waste properly.
If sewage backs up into your house, that’s an emergency. Don’t wait – call immediately. The longer sewage sits in your home, the more damage it causes and the more expensive cleanup becomes.
Yes, we regularly work on older septic systems throughout Prospect Heights. Many homes here have unique catch basin systems that connect to city sewers, and we have experience with these configurations.
Older concrete tanks can develop cracks or structural problems, but they’re often repairable. We can install new baffles, repair tank walls, or upgrade components while keeping your existing tank if it’s structurally sound.
Sometimes older systems just need proper maintenance they haven’t received in years. A thorough pumping and inspection often reveals that the system just needs regular care, not replacement.
Basic septic pumping runs $300-600 depending on tank size and accessibility. Simple repairs like replacing a baffle or fixing a pipe connection typically cost $200-800.
More complex issues like drain field problems or tank replacement cost significantly more, often $3,000-12,000. That’s why we always give you upfront pricing before starting work.
Emergency service costs more than scheduled maintenance, but we don’t inflate prices during emergencies. You pay fair rates based on the actual work needed, not when you need it done.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency septic repair throughout Prospect Heights. Septic backups don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.

Our emergency service includes temporary solutions to protect your property while we plan permanent repairs. Sometimes that means pumping an overfull tank immediately, then scheduling drain field work for the next day.
