All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Evergreen Park and the greater Chicago area with professional septic tank plumbing services. We’re not just another plumbing company—we’re local specialists who understand the unique challenges of Chicago-area septic systems.
Many homes in Evergreen Park have older septic systems, including those unique catch basin setups that discharge to city sewer lines. We’ve worked on these systems for years and know exactly how to diagnose and fix problems that leave other plumbers scratching their heads.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which means you’re protected when we work on your property. More importantly, we show up when we say we will and give you straight answers about what needs to be done.
First, we assess your septic system to identify the exact problem. This isn’t guesswork—we use professional equipment to locate issues whether they’re in your tank, lines, or drain field. You’ll know what’s wrong before we start any work.
Next, we explain what needs to be fixed and give you upfront pricing. No surprises, no “additional costs we discovered.” You approve the work before we begin.
Then we fix the problem using the right tools for the job. For clogs and buildup, we use high-pressure hydro jetting that cleans your lines completely—not just pokes a hole through the blockage like some methods. For repairs, we use quality materials that last.
Finally, we test everything to make sure it’s working properly and clean up our work area. You get a system that works and a property that looks like we were never there.

Our septic tank plumbing services cover every aspect of your system. We handle emergency repairs when your system backs up or fails completely. We perform routine maintenance including pumping and inspections to prevent problems before they start. We repair and replace damaged components like baffles, lines, and even entire tanks when necessary.
Evergreen Park’s older neighborhoods present unique challenges. Many properties have concrete block septic tanks that can develop cracks, or those combination systems that connect to city sewers. We’ve seen it all and have the experience to handle whatever your property requires.
We also provide real estate inspection services if you’re buying or selling a home. A septic system inspection can save you thousands in unexpected repairs and give you negotiating power in real estate transactions.
Most septic tanks should be pumped every 3-5 years, but this depends on your tank size and household size. A family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank typically needs pumping every 3 years, while smaller households or larger tanks can go longer.
However, Evergreen Park’s older systems sometimes need more frequent attention. If you have one of the older concrete block tanks or a combination system, we recommend annual inspections to catch problems early. Signs you need pumping sooner include slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors around your property.
We can assess your specific situation and recommend the right pumping schedule for your system and usage patterns.
Septic line clogs typically result from accumulated grease, hair, soap buildup, tree roots, or items that shouldn’t be flushed. In Chicago-area homes, older clay or concrete pipes are especially prone to root intrusion and mineral buildup.
We fix clogs using high-pressure hydro jetting, which uses water at extremely high pressure to scour the entire interior of your pipes. Unlike snaking, which just pokes a hole through the blockage, hydro jetting removes all debris, grease, and even small roots from the pipe walls.
For severe root problems, we may need to repair or replace damaged pipe sections. We’ll always show you exactly what we find and explain your options before proceeding with any major work.
Signs of drain field problems include sewage surfacing in your yard, especially during wet weather, persistent soggy areas over the drain field, or strong sewage odors outside. You might also notice your septic tank filling up faster than normal.
Drain field restoration depends on the specific problem. Sometimes it’s a matter of cleaning clogged distribution pipes or replacing damaged components. In severe cases, the entire drain field may need replacement, though we always look for less expensive solutions first.
We use specialized equipment to inspect your drain field and determine the exact cause of problems. Many issues that seem like total failures can actually be repaired at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency septic services throughout Evergreen Park. Septic emergencies can’t wait—sewage backups create health hazards and can cause serious property damage if not addressed immediately.
We respond quickly to emergency calls and come equipped with the tools needed to handle most urgent repairs on the spot. This includes portable pumping equipment, hydro jetting systems, and common replacement parts.
Our emergency service covers everything from complete system failures to urgent clogs that prevent normal use of your plumbing. We’ll stabilize the situation first, then work with you to develop a permanent solution.
Septic pumping removes the accumulated sludge and scum from your tank, which should be done every 3-5 years as part of regular maintenance. This prevents your tank from overflowing and protects your drain field from damage.
Septic cleaning is more comprehensive and includes pumping plus cleaning the tank walls, inspecting and cleaning the inlet and outlet baffles, and checking all components for damage. We also inspect the distribution box and check for any signs of system problems.
We recommend full cleaning rather than just pumping because it allows us to catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. The cost difference is minimal, but the preventive value is significant.
Absolutely. Many Evergreen Park homes have unique septic configurations that require specialized knowledge. Some properties have concrete block tanks that are prone to cracking, while others have combination systems with catch basins that discharge to city sewers.
These older systems often have different maintenance requirements and potential failure points than modern septic systems. The pipes may be clay or early concrete, which can crack or allow root intrusion more easily than modern materials.
We’ve worked extensively with these older Chicago-area systems and understand their quirks. We can often repair and maintain these systems effectively, though we’ll always let you know when replacement makes more economic sense than continued repairs.
