Then we handle the repair using professional equipment and techniques that last. For drain field problems, we use specialized restoration methods. For clogs, our hydro jetting equipment clears even the toughest blockages without damaging your pipes.

Our septic tank plumbing service includes complete system diagnostics, professional repairs, and preventive maintenance recommendations. We handle everything from emergency backups to drain field restoration to routine maintenance that prevents major problems.
Kensington’s clay-heavy soil can cause unique drainage issues that affect septic systems differently than other areas. We adjust our approach based on your property’s specific conditions and your system’s age and design.
You also get our emergency service guarantee. Septic problems don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. When you have a sewage backup or system failure, we respond quickly to minimize damage and health risks.
Our hydro jetting equipment handles the toughest clogs without the harsh chemicals that can damage your septic system’s bacterial balance. This means your repairs last longer and your system stays healthier overall.
Watch for these warning signs: slow drains throughout your house, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, sewage odors inside or outside your home, or wet spots and standing water over your drain field area.
Don’t wait if you notice multiple drains backing up at once or if you see sewage coming up through floor drains or toilets. These are emergency situations that require immediate professional attention to prevent serious health hazards and property damage.
Early intervention saves money and prevents bigger problems. What starts as a simple clog can become a complete system failure if ignored, turning a few hundred dollar repair into a several thousand dollar replacement.
Pumping removes accumulated solids from your tank, which should happen every 3-5 years for most households. It’s routine maintenance that keeps your system working properly and prevents backups.
Actual repairs fix broken components like damaged pipes, failed drain fields, or malfunctioning tank baffles. If pumping your tank doesn’t solve your drainage problems, you likely need repairs to restore proper system function.
Many homeowners try pumping first when they have problems, which is smart. But if your drains are still slow or you still have odors after pumping, the issue requires professional diagnosis and repair of the underlying problem.
Often, yes. Modern drain field restoration techniques can solve many problems without complete excavation. We use specialized equipment to clear blockages and restore proper drainage in existing systems.
However, severely damaged or failed drain fields may require partial or complete replacement. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain your options, including less invasive solutions when they’re viable for your system.
The key is accurate diagnosis. What looks like a failed drain field might actually be a problem with your distribution box or main line that’s much easier and cheaper to fix than full field replacement.
We provide 24/7 emergency service and typically respond within a few hours for urgent situations like sewage backups or complete system failures. We understand that septic emergencies create health hazards and can’t wait.
For non-emergency repairs like slow drains or minor odor issues, we usually schedule service within 24-48 hours. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call and keep you updated if anything changes.
Emergency situations get priority because sewage backups pose immediate health risks to your family and can cause significant property damage. We bring the equipment needed to stop the immediate problem and then develop a plan for permanent repairs.
Costs vary significantly based on the specific problem and your system’s condition. Simple clogs might cost a few hundred dollars, while drain field restoration or major repairs can run several thousand.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No surprise charges or hidden fees that inflate your bill after the work is done.
Most septic repairs cost less than complete system replacement, which is why quick professional attention saves money. A $500 repair today prevents a $15,000 replacement next year when the problem gets worse.
Yes, we service both residential and commercial septic systems throughout Kensington and the surrounding Chicago area. Commercial systems often have different requirements and higher capacity needs, but the basic repair principles remain the same.
Business septic problems can shut down operations and create liability issues, so we prioritize commercial emergency calls. We understand that your business can’t afford extended downtime from septic system failures.
Whether it’s a single-family home or a multi-unit commercial building, we bring the right equipment and expertise to diagnose problems accurately and fix them properly the first time.
