Our Reviews
When your septic system fails, everything stops. You can’t use your toilets, sinks, or showers normally. Water backs up where it shouldn’t. Bad smells make your property unlivable.
We fix septic problems completely. Your drains flow freely again. Your system handles normal household waste without backing up or overflowing. You get back to your routine without worrying about when the next problem will hit.
No more emergency calls to other companies. No more temporary fixes that fail in a few months. Just a septic system that works the way it should, backed by professionals who understand Thornton Junction’s specific soil conditions and local regulations.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc has been fixing septic systems in the Chicago area since 2000. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your investment in septic repairs needs to be protected.
We know Thornton Junction’s clay soil creates drainage challenges that affect septic performance. We understand how Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles impact septic lines. Most importantly, we know the difference between a quick fix and a lasting solution.
Our customers choose us because we show up when we say we will, charge exactly what we quoted, and solve problems instead of creating new ones. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in fewer callbacks, better materials, and technicians who know what they’re doing.
First, we diagnose your septic problem completely. We don’t guess or assume. We use cameras and pressure testing to see exactly what’s wrong with your system. You’ll understand the problem before we recommend any work.
Next, we explain your options clearly. Sometimes you need emergency repairs to get your system working. Other times, you’re better off with drain field restoration or complete line replacement. We tell you what each option costs upfront.
Then we fix the problem using professional-grade equipment and materials. Our hydro jetting removes years of buildup from septic lines. We repair or replace damaged sections properly. When we’re done, your septic system handles normal use without problems, and you know exactly what work was performed.

Our septic tank plumbing services cover everything from emergency repairs to complete system restoration. We handle septic line clogs, drain field problems, and system backups that need immediate attention.
Thornton Junction’s soil conditions create specific challenges for septic systems. Clay soil doesn’t drain well, causing drain fields to fail prematurely. Tree roots find their way into septic lines, creating blockages that regular snaking can’t clear. Winter freezing affects shallow septic components.
We use professional hydro jetting to clear septic lines completely, not just punch holes through blockages. We repair damaged drain field sections using proper materials and techniques. For emergency situations, we provide same-day service because septic problems can’t wait for convenient scheduling.
Several signs indicate your septic system needs professional attention. Slow drains throughout your house, not just one fixture, usually mean your septic tank is full or your drain field isn’t working properly.
Bad smells near your septic tank or drain field area indicate system failure. Sewage backing up into your house is an emergency that requires immediate professional service. Wet spots or standing water over your drain field, especially when it hasn’t rained, show your system isn’t processing waste properly.
Don’t ignore these warning signs. Septic problems get worse quickly and become more expensive to fix. We can diagnose the exact problem and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
Septic tank pumping removes accumulated solids from your tank, which should happen every 3-5 years for most households. This is routine maintenance that keeps your system working properly.
Septic plumbing repairs fix actual problems with your system. Broken pipes, failed drain fields, clogged distribution boxes, and damaged tank components require professional plumbing work, not just pumping.
If pumping your tank doesn’t solve slow drains, backups, or odors, you need plumbing repairs. We handle both routine maintenance and emergency repairs, so you get the right service for your specific problem.
Most septic line repairs take 4-8 hours, depending on the problem’s complexity and location. Simple clogs or minor pipe repairs can be completed in a few hours. Drain field restoration or major line replacement may take a full day.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling. We understand you can’t wait days or weeks when your septic system isn’t working. We carry common repair parts and equipment to complete most repairs the same day.
Weather affects outdoor septic work, especially in Thornton Junction’s clay soil. Frozen ground or heavy rain may delay excavation work, but we’ll explain any delays upfront and work around conditions when possible.
Recurring backups usually indicate incomplete repairs or underlying problems that weren’t addressed. Many companies only clear the immediate blockage without fixing the root cause.
Tree roots, broken pipes, or failed drain field sections cause repeated problems. If your septic tank is properly sized and regularly pumped, but you still get backups, you likely have structural damage that needs professional repair.
We use camera inspection to identify all problems before recommending repairs. This prevents recurring issues and saves you money on repeated service calls. When we fix your septic system, it stays fixed.
Yes, we regularly repair septic systems in clay soil conditions common throughout Thornton Junction and the Chicago area. Clay soil creates specific challenges because it doesn’t drain well, causing drain fields to fail sooner than in sandy soil.
We use proper excavation techniques and materials designed for clay soil conditions. Sometimes this means installing additional drainage or using different pipe configurations to ensure proper system function.
Our experience with local soil conditions means we know what works and what doesn’t. We don’t use generic solutions that might work elsewhere but fail in Thornton Junction’s specific environment.
Sewage backing up into your house requires immediate emergency service. This creates health hazards and property damage that get worse every hour you wait.
Complete system failure where no drains work properly is also an emergency. You can’t use your plumbing normally, which makes your home essentially unlivable until repairs are completed.
Strong sewage odors inside your house or visible sewage on your property need immediate attention. These conditions are unsanitary and may violate local health codes. We provide 24/7 emergency service because these problems can’t wait for regular business hours.
