Our septic tank plumbing services cover everything your system needs. We pump septic tanks, repair broken pipes, clear clogged drain fields, and replace failed components. For Albany Park residents, we also handle the unique challenges of older septic systems that connect to the city sewer.
Many homes in Albany Park have septic catch basins that discharge to the main sewer system – a setup that confuses most plumbers. We’ve worked with these systems before and know exactly how to service them.
We also provide emergency septic repairs when sewage backs up into your basement or your system fails during heavy rains. Albany Park’s flooding issues make emergency service critical, and we’re available 24/7 to help.
Most septic tanks in Albany Park need pumping every 3-5 years, but it depends on your household size and usage. A family of four typically needs service every 3-4 years, while smaller households might go 4-5 years.
Albany Park’s older systems and heavy rainfall can affect this schedule. If you notice slow drains, sewage odors, or gurgling toilets, your tank might need attention sooner. We recommend annual inspections to catch problems early and determine the right pumping schedule for your specific situation.
Regular pumping prevents costly repairs and protects your property from sewage backups that are unfortunately common in this neighborhood.
Heavy rains overwhelm Albany Park’s aging sewer infrastructure, causing backups in homes with septic systems. When the main sewer lines can’t handle the volume, water backs up into septic catch basins and then into your home.
Many Albany Park homes have unique septic setups that connect to the city sewer, making them vulnerable during storms. Clogged pipes, full septic tanks, and damaged drain fields make the problem worse. Tree roots growing into old clay pipes are another common culprit.
The best protection is regular maintenance, proper pumping schedules, and installing backwater valves where appropriate. We can assess your system and recommend specific solutions for your property.
Emergency septic repairs in Albany Park typically range from $300-$1,500 depending on the problem. Simple clogs or pump-outs are on the lower end, while major repairs like replacing damaged pipes or fixing drain fields cost more.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges or hidden fees. Emergency service doesn’t cost extra – we charge the same rates whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM.

Yes, we specialize in Albany Park’s older septic systems, including the unique catch basin setups that discharge to the city sewer. Most plumbers don’t understand these systems, but we’ve serviced them for years.
These older systems require different approaches than standard septic tanks. The catch basins are smaller and fill up faster, especially during heavy rains. The connections to city sewers can back up when the main lines are overwhelmed.
We know how to properly maintain these systems, when they need pumping, and how to prevent backups. We also understand the local codes and regulations that apply to these older installations.
Call us immediately if you see sewage backing up into sinks, toilets, or floor drains. This is a health emergency that needs professional attention right away. Other urgent signs include strong sewage odors throughout your home, multiple drains backing up at once, or gurgling sounds when you flush.
Outside warning signs include soggy areas above your septic tank, especially if they smell bad or have unusual grass growth. Standing water in your yard after using water inside is another red flag.
Don’t wait with these symptoms – septic emergencies get worse quickly and can cause expensive property damage. We’re available 24/7 for emergency service and can usually get to Albany Park homes within an hour.

Maintenance programs save money by catching problems early and extending your system’s life. We keep detailed records of your system’s condition and service history, so we can spot trends and recommend improvements.
Albany Park’s heavy rains and older infrastructure make regular maintenance especially important. Our maintenance customers rarely have emergency failures because we stay ahead of problems. We’ll customize a program based on your system type, household size, and usage patterns.
