Our Reviews
You’re dealing with a septic emergency that’s disrupting your life. Maybe sewage is backing up into your home, or you’ve got standing water in your yard that won’t go away. These aren’t problems you can ignore or put off until next week.
When we finish the job, your septic system works the way it should. No more foul odors greeting you when you walk outside. No more worrying about whether your toilets will flush properly or if your drains will back up during your next dinner party.
You get a system that handles your household waste efficiently, protects your property value, and gives you peace of mind. That’s what proper septic tank plumbing services deliver.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc has been serving the Chicagoland area with reliable plumbing solutions. We are licensed, bonded, and insured, which means you’re protected when we work on your property.
Evanston’s older neighborhoods often have septic systems that require specialized knowledge. The soil conditions, local regulations, and aging infrastructure create unique challenges that generic plumbing companies don’t always understand.
We focus on transparent pricing and clear communication. You’ll know what the problem is, what it takes to fix it, and what it costs before any work begins.
First, we arrive with diagnostic equipment to identify exactly what’s wrong with your septic system. This isn’t guesswork – we use cameras and pressure testing to see what’s happening inside your pipes and tank.
Next, we explain what we found in plain language. You’ll understand whether you’re dealing with a simple clog, a damaged pipe, or a more complex drain field issue. We provide upfront pricing so you can make an informed decision.
Our repair work uses professional-grade equipment, including hydro jetting technology that clears blockages completely. For septic line clog repair, this means removing buildup that’s been accumulating for years, not just pushing it further down the line. When we’re finished, we test the system to make sure everything flows properly and explain any maintenance steps that will help prevent future problems.

Our septic tank plumbing services include emergency repairs, routine maintenance, and complete system restoration. Whether you’re dealing with a backed-up toilet at 2 AM or planning preventive maintenance, we handle residential and commercial properties throughout Evanston.
Evanston’s clay soil can create drainage challenges that affect septic system performance. Our local expertise means understanding how seasonal changes, soil saturation, and municipal water pressure fluctuations impact your septic system’s operation.
Our services range from simple drain cleaning to complex septic drain field restoration. Our hydro jetting equipment removes grease buildup, tree roots, and other obstructions that cause recurring problems. For properties with aging septic systems, this technology often restores function without requiring expensive excavation or complete system replacement.
Several warning signs indicate your septic system needs attention. Slow draining sinks, toilets, or showers often mean there’s a blockage in your septic lines. Foul odors around your septic tank or in your yard suggest the system isn’t processing waste properly.
Standing water or unusually green grass over your drain field area indicates the system is backing up underground. If you hear gurgling sounds when water drains, or if sewage backs up into your home, you need emergency septic repairs immediately.
Don’t wait for these problems to resolve themselves. Septic system issues typically worsen quickly and can cause expensive property damage if not addressed promptly.
Septic pumping removes accumulated solids from your septic tank, which should happen every 3-5 years depending on household size. This is routine maintenance that prevents your tank from overflowing.
Septic line repair addresses problems in the pipes that carry waste from your home to the septic tank, or from the tank to the drain field. These repairs become necessary when pipes crack, get clogged with roots, or develop other structural problems.
If your septic system is backing up despite recent pumping, you likely need septic line clog repair rather than another pumping. A professional diagnostic will determine whether the problem is in your tank, your lines, or your drain field.
Emergency septic repairs can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the problem’s complexity. Simple septic line clog repair using hydro jetting often resolves within 2-4 hours.
More complex issues like damaged pipes or drain field problems may require additional time for proper diagnosis and repair. We provide time estimates after completing the initial assessment.
For true emergencies where sewage is backing up into your home, we prioritize stopping the immediate problem first, then address the underlying cause. This approach gets your household back to normal as quickly as possible while ensuring the repair lasts.
Yes, septic system repairs can be performed in winter, though cold weather creates additional challenges. Frozen ground makes excavation more difficult, and some materials require special handling in freezing temperatures.
However, septic emergencies don’t wait for spring. We have equipment and experience to handle winter septic repairs safely and effectively. Hydro jetting actually works well in cold weather since the high-pressure water can clear ice blockages along with other obstructions.
For non-emergency repairs, scheduling during milder weather may be more cost-effective. But if you’re dealing with sewage backup or other urgent issues, waiting isn’t an option regardless of the season.
Septic drain field failure typically results from soil saturation, pipe damage, or system overload. When your septic tank sends too much liquid waste to the drain field, or when the soil can’t absorb effluent properly, the system backs up.
Tree roots commonly infiltrate drain field pipes, especially in established neighborhoods like those found throughout Evanston. Heavy clay soils, which are common in northern Illinois, can also impede proper drainage and cause premature system failure.
Septic drain field restoration often involves hydro jetting to clear blocked pipes, soil amendment to improve drainage, or in severe cases, installing new distribution lines. Early intervention usually prevents the need for complete drain field replacement.
Yes, you’ll receive clear pricing information before any repair work begins. After diagnosing your septic system problem, we explain what needs to be fixed and provide a detailed estimate.
This upfront pricing approach means no surprise charges or hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what our septic tank plumbing services will cost, whether you need simple drain cleaning or complex septic system repair.
Emergency repairs sometimes require additional work once the initial problem is resolved, but you’ll be informed of any additional costs before proceeding. Our goal is complete transparency so you can make informed decisions about your septic system repairs.
