Our Reviews
Your septic tank works behind the scenes until it doesn’t. When solids build up beyond capacity, you’re looking at sewage backups, foul odors, and thousands in emergency repairs.
Regular professional septic tank pumping prevents these disasters completely. You get a system that processes waste efficiently, protects your property value, and gives you one less thing to worry about.
Most Chicago-area septic tanks need cleaning every 3-5 years, but usage patterns and household size affect timing. We’ll assess your specific situation and set up a maintenance schedule that keeps problems from starting.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving Chicago’s toughest plumbing challenges for years. We’re locally owned, fully licensed, bonded, and insured.

You’re not getting a generic approach. You’re getting technicians who’ve seen every type of septic issue Chicago throws at us and know exactly how to handle them properly.
We start with a complete system inspection to locate your tank and assess current conditions. Our technicians check for cracks, leaks, or structural issues before beginning the cleaning process.

Finally, we inspect the drain field and provide recommendations for ongoing maintenance. You’ll know exactly when your next service is due and what to watch for between visits. No guesswork, no surprises.

Slow drains throughout your house, gurgling sounds from toilets or sinks, and sewage odors around your property all indicate an overloaded septic system. These problems won’t fix themselves.
Standing water over your drain field, especially during dry weather, means solids have built up enough to block proper drainage. Sewage backing up into your home is an emergency requiring immediate attention.
Don’t wait for these warning signs. By the time you notice problems, your system is already failing and you’re looking at much more expensive repairs than routine maintenance would cost.
