Wheeling’s older homes often have septic systems that newer companies don’t understand. Those concrete block tanks from the 1960s that connect to city sewers? We service them regularly. The 500-gallon catch basins that other plumbers scratch their heads over? Standard work for us.
Your septic system gets the attention it needs from people who understand how these systems work in your specific neighborhood. We stock parts for the older systems and know the local codes that apply to your property. One call handles everything from diagnosis to completion.
Multiple drains backing up at once is the biggest red flag. If your toilet gurgles when you run the washing machine, or you smell sewage near your septic tank area, you need immediate attention.
Standing water or unusually green grass above your septic tank means effluent is surfacing. This creates health hazards and can contaminate groundwater. Don’t wait—these problems get worse fast and cost more to fix the longer you delay.
Call us immediately if sewage is backing up into your home. This is a health emergency that requires professional equipment and expertise to resolve safely.
Wheeling has many older neighborhoods with unique septic configurations. Some homes have concrete block septic tanks that connect to the city sewer system—a setup that confuses many plumbers who haven’t worked in this area before.
The soil conditions here also affect how septic systems perform. Clay-heavy soil doesn’t drain as well as sandy soil, which can cause drain field problems that require specific solutions. We understand these local conditions and design our repairs accordingly.
Many Wheeling homes were built when septic codes were different. We know how to work with these older systems while bringing them up to current safety standards when needed.
Most septic repairs take 4-6 hours once we arrive on site. Simple clogs or pump replacements often finish in 2-3 hours. More complex issues like drain field problems or tank replacements can take a full day or longer.
We give you realistic timeframes after our initial assessment. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling—we’re not leaving you with sewage backing up into your home overnight. For major work, we’ll set up temporary solutions to keep your household functioning.
Weather affects outdoor septic work, especially in winter. We have equipment to work in most conditions, but major excavation might need to wait for better weather if safety is a concern.
Yes, we work on conventional septic systems, aerobic treatment units, sand filter systems, and the unique catch basin setups common in older Wheeling neighborhoods. Each system type requires different expertise and equipment.
We also service septic systems that connect to city sewers—a configuration that many companies won’t touch because they don’t understand how these hybrid systems work. Our technicians have extensive experience with these installations.
Pump systems, gravity systems, mound systems—we handle them all. Our truck carries parts and equipment for the most common repairs, so we can often fix problems the same day without return trips.
Our maintenance service includes pumping your septic tank, inspecting all components for wear or damage, and testing your drain field performance. We check inlet and outlet baffles, measure sludge levels, and examine the tank structure for cracks or deterioration.
You get a written report showing your system’s condition and any recommendations for repairs or improvements. We also provide guidance on proper septic system care to extend its lifespan and prevent expensive problems.
For aerobic systems, maintenance includes servicing the air pump, checking electrical components, and testing the treatment process. These systems need more frequent attention but provide better effluent treatment when properly maintained.
Septic repair costs depend on what’s wrong and how extensive the damage is. Simple clogs might cost $200-400 to clear. Pump replacements typically run $800-1200. Major repairs like tank replacement or drain field restoration cost several thousand dollars.
We provide upfront pricing after diagnosing the problem. No surprise charges or “additional work needed” upsells. You approve the cost before we start, and that’s what you pay. Emergency service calls include a service fee, but it’s applied to your repair cost.
Most septic repairs cost less than replacing your entire system, which can run $15,000-25,000. Getting problems fixed promptly prevents minor issues from becoming major expenses.
