Our septic tank plumbing services cover every part of your system. We handle emergency repairs when your system backs up or fails completely. We provide routine maintenance to prevent problems before they start. We restore drain fields that have stopped working properly.
In the Near West Side area, many properties have older septic systems that require specialized knowledge. Some connect to city sewer systems through catch basins. Others have unique configurations that general plumbers don’t understand. Our technicians have worked on these systems throughout Chicago and know how to service them correctly.
We also provide hydro jetting services to clear stubborn clogs and clean septic lines thoroughly. This process removes years of buildup that regular snaking can’t handle, restoring full flow capacity to your system.
Several warning signs indicate your septic tank needs immediate attention. Water backing up into your drains or toilets is a clear sign of system failure. Gurgling sounds from your plumbing when you flush or drain water often mean there’s a blockage in your septic lines.
Standing water or wet spots in your yard near the septic tank location indicate the system isn’t processing waste properly. Strong sewage odors around your property, especially near the tank or drain field area, suggest leaks or system failure.
Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or toilets throughout your home can indicate your drain field is failing. If multiple fixtures drain slowly at the same time, the problem is likely in your septic system, not individual drain lines.
Chicago’s climate and soil conditions create specific challenges for septic systems. Heavy rains can overwhelm drain fields, especially in areas with clay soil that doesn’t drain well. Freeze-thaw cycles can damage pipes and tank components over time.
Many Chicago-area properties have older septic systems that weren’t designed for modern water usage. Increased water flow from dishwashers, washing machines, and multiple bathrooms can overload systems that worked fine decades ago.
Tree roots are another common problem. Mature trees throughout Chicago neighborhoods send roots toward septic lines seeking water and nutrients. These roots can crack pipes, clog lines, and damage tank baffles. Ground settling and soil movement can also shift pipes and create leaks or blockages.
Most residential septic tanks need pumping every three to five years, but the exact timing depends on your household size and water usage. A family of four with normal water usage typically needs pumping every three years. Smaller households might go four to five years between pumpings.
However, Chicago’s combined sewer systems and older septic configurations sometimes require more frequent service. If your septic tank connects to city sewers through a catch basin, you might need annual pumping to prevent backups during heavy rain periods.
Signs that your tank needs pumping include slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors, or wet spots in your yard. Don’t wait for these warning signs – regular pumping prevents expensive emergency repairs and protects your drain field from damage.
Many drain field problems can be repaired without complete replacement, especially if caught early. Clogged distribution boxes, broken pipes, or compacted soil in small areas often respond well to targeted repairs and restoration techniques.
Hydro jetting can clear blockages in drain field lines and restore proper flow. We can also repair damaged pipes, replace broken distribution components, and restore proper drainage in affected areas. Sometimes adding beneficial bacteria or adjusting the system’s hydraulic load solves drain field problems.
However, severely damaged or completely failed drain fields do require replacement. If the entire field has been compromised by years of neglect, root intrusion, or soil contamination, replacement is the only permanent solution. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach for your property.
