Our Reviews
Your septic crisis becomes a solved problem. No more sewage smell greeting guests at your front door. No more panic every time someone flushes a toilet. No more crossing your fingers and hoping your system holds up through the weekend.
You get your bathroom back without the fear of backups. Your yard stops resembling a swamp. Your basement stays dry and clean, not flooded with waste.
Most importantly, your family’s health isn’t threatened by septic system failures that create dangerous conditions in and around your Hillside home.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been fixing Hillside’s septic problems since 2000. We understand what other plumbers don’t: many Hillside homes have unique catch basin systems that connect to the main city sewer.
Your neighbors have concrete block septic tanks from the 1960s and 70s. We’ve repaired hundreds of them. We know which ones develop cracks, where they typically fail, and how to fix them without destroying your yard.
We’re the septic tank plumbing company that actually shows up when we say we will. Licensed, bonded, and insured, with technicians who know the difference between a standard septic system and Hillside’s older infrastructure.
Every septic emergency starts with a thorough system inspection. We need to see what’s actually wrong before we start pumping or jetting. Too many companies guess and end up making problems worse.
We check your tank condition, test inlet and outlet lines, and identify the real cause of your backup. Then we explain what we found and give you an upfront price for fixing it.
The actual repair depends on what your system needs. Sometimes it’s emergency pumping to relieve pressure. Other times it’s hydro jetting to clear blocked lines. For cracked tanks, we handle temporary repairs to stop immediate sewage threats, then discuss permanent solutions that fit your budget.

Our septic tank plumbing covers the full range of problems Hillside homeowners face. Emergency septic repairs when waste backs up into your house. Drain field restoration when your yard shows wet spots and strong odors. Professional septic line clog repair using high-pressure hydro jetting.
Regular septic tank pumping prevents most emergencies. Hillside’s older systems typically need pumping every 3-4 years, more often if you have a smaller catch basin setup. We track your pumping schedule so you never have to guess when service is due.
Hillside’s real estate market moves fast, and septic inspections can make or break a sale. We provide thorough septic system evaluations that give buyers and sellers accurate information about system condition and remaining life expectancy.
Most Hillside septic tanks need pumping every 3-4 years, but your specific system might be different. Houses with smaller catch basin systems that connect to the main sewer often need service every 2-3 years.
Family size matters too. A household of 2 people might go 5 years between pumpings, while a family of 6 probably needs service every 2-3 years. Heavy water use from multiple teenagers showering daily will fill your tank faster.
The real answer depends on your tank size, household size, and water usage patterns. We can assess your specific situation and recommend the right pumping schedule to prevent backups and emergency calls.
Hillside’s older septic systems back up for three main reasons: full tanks, blocked outlet lines, or cracked concrete tanks. When tanks fill completely, waste has nowhere to go except back through your house drains.
Many Hillside homes have concrete block septic tanks installed 40-60 years ago. These tanks develop cracks and holes over time, especially where pipes connect to the tank. When structural integrity fails, sewage can flow directly into your basement or foundation.
Tree roots love septic lines because they provide constant moisture and nutrients. Roots grow into small cracks in pipes and eventually create complete blockages. When this happens, everything you flush comes right back up through floor drains and toilets.
Emergency septic tank pumping typically runs $400-700 in Hillside, depending on tank size and how difficult it is to access your system. Basic line clearing might cost $300-600 if we can resolve it quickly with hydro jetting.
Major septic system repairs range from $1,200-4,000, depending on what needs fixing. Cracked concrete tanks, damaged inlet/outlet pipes, or failed drain fields require more extensive work. Complete system replacement runs $8,000-15,000.
Here’s the thing: regular maintenance costs $400 every few years, while emergency repairs can cost thousands. We give you upfront pricing before starting any work, and we’re available 24/7 without charging extra for nights or weekends.
Absolutely. We’re one of the few companies in the area with extensive experience servicing Hillside’s unique catch basin systems. Most plumbers have never worked on these older setups that connect to the main city sewer.
These systems work differently than standard septic tanks. The catch basin collects solids while liquids flow to the municipal sewer system. When the basin fills up or the connection gets blocked, you get sewage backing up into your house fast.
We understand the proper pumping techniques, know how to clear blockages without damaging the main sewer connection, and can spot problems before they become expensive emergencies. We’ve been working on these systems for over 20 years.
Hydro jetting completely outperforms snaking for septic line problems. Snaking just pokes a hole through the clog, leaving most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Within months, the blockage reforms and you’re calling for service again.
Hydro jetting uses 3,000+ PSI water pressure to scour the entire inside of your septic lines clean. It removes grease, roots, mineral deposits, and decades of buildup that snaking can’t touch. Your lines stay clear 3-4 times longer.
For Hillside’s older septic systems with tree root problems, hydro jetting is often the only solution that actually works. Roots grow back quickly after snaking, but high-pressure water jetting cuts them out completely and delays regrowth for years.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency septic service throughout Hillside. When sewage backs up into your home at 2 AM on Sunday, you need help immediately, not Monday morning.
We typically arrive within 1-2 hours of your emergency call, equipped with pumping trucks, hydro jetting equipment, and everything needed to stop sewage from flowing into your house. Our goal is stabilizing the situation first, then determining the best permanent fix.
Emergency service doesn’t cost extra for nights, weekends, or holidays. You’re dealing with a health hazard that threatens your family’s safety – we’re not going to penalize you with surge pricing when you need help most.
