Our Reviews
When your septic system fails, everything stops. You can’t use your sinks, toilets, or showers normally. Your yard might smell terrible, or worse, have standing water where it shouldn’t.
We get your septic system back to working order so you can get back to normal life. No more holding your breath when you flush. No more explaining to guests why the bathroom smells that way.
Our septic tank plumbing services handle everything from emergency repairs to complete system restoration. You get a system that works reliably, not just a quick patch that fails again next month.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been handling septic emergencies across the Chicago area for years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because septic work isn’t something you want done by amateurs.
Bernice homeowners deal with unique challenges – older septic systems, clay soil conditions, and the reality that when your septic fails, you need someone who shows up fast. We know these systems inside and out.
You’re not getting a fly-by-night operation. You’re getting a local company that’s been here, will be here tomorrow, and stands behind every job we complete.
First, we assess your septic system to identify the real problem. Not just the symptoms you’re seeing, but what’s actually causing the issue. This means checking your tank, drain lines, and drain field.
Next, we explain what we found and give you upfront pricing. No surprises, no “we’ll see what we find” pricing games. You know exactly what the repair will cost before we start.
Then we fix it right. Whether that’s clearing a clogged septic line, repairing damaged pipes, or restoring your drain field, we use the right equipment and techniques to solve the problem permanently. You get your system back to working properly, usually the same day.

Our septic tank plumbing services cover the full system. Septic tank pumping and cleaning, drain field restoration when your absorption area fails, and septic line clog repair using professional hydro jetting equipment.
Bernice properties often have septic systems that are 20+ years old. These systems need specialized care, not generic plumbing fixes. We handle emergency septic repairs when your system backs up into your home, plus planned maintenance to prevent those emergencies.
You get comprehensive septic services from one company. No coordinating between different contractors, no pointing fingers when something doesn’t work right. We handle your complete septic system, from tank to drain field.
Sewage backing up into your house is the clearest emergency sign. You’ll also have an emergency if you see standing water or sewage surfacing in your yard, especially around the septic tank or drain field area.
Other urgent signs include all your drains running extremely slow at once, toilets that won’t flush properly, and strong sewage odors inside your home. These usually mean your septic system is completely overwhelmed or has a major blockage.
If you’re seeing any of these problems, don’t wait. Septic emergencies get worse fast, and the longer you wait, the more expensive and messy the cleanup becomes.
Clay soil is the biggest culprit around Bernice. Clay doesn’t absorb wastewater well, so your drain field gets saturated and can’t process more waste. You’ll see standing water or soggy ground over the drain field area.
Age is another major factor. Most septic systems last 20-30 years before the drain field needs restoration or replacement. Older systems simply wear out, especially if they haven’t been maintained properly.
Overloading the system accelerates failure. Too much water going into the septic tank too quickly overwhelms the drain field. This happens when you have leaky fixtures, do multiple loads of laundry in one day, or have more people using the system than it was designed for.
Most septic line clogs and basic repairs take 2-4 hours once we’re on site. We can usually clear blocked septic lines the same day using hydro jetting equipment, which means you’re back to normal quickly.
Drain field restoration takes longer – typically 1-2 days depending on the extent of the damage. This involves excavating the affected area, replacing damaged pipes, and ensuring proper drainage before covering everything back up.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling. If your septic system is backing up into your house, we’ll get there as fast as possible and work until the immediate problem is resolved. Non-emergency maintenance and repairs are usually scheduled within a few days.
Septic pumping is routine maintenance – removing accumulated solids from your septic tank every 3-5 years. This prevents the tank from getting too full and pushing solids into your drain field, which would damage it.
Septic repair fixes actual problems with your system. This includes clearing clogged septic lines, fixing broken pipes, repairing damaged tank components, or restoring failed drain fields. These are solutions to specific problems, not routine maintenance.
You need both. Regular pumping prevents many repair problems, but when something breaks or clogs, pumping won’t fix it. We handle both services, so we can tell you whether you need maintenance, repairs, or both.
Yes, we handle septic repairs year-round, including Illinois winters. Septic emergencies don’t wait for good weather, and neither do we. We have the equipment and experience to work in cold conditions when necessary.
Frozen ground does make some repairs more challenging, especially drain field work that requires excavation. But septic line clogs, tank repairs, and most emergency issues can be resolved regardless of weather conditions.
Winter is actually when many septic problems surface. Snow and ice can hide drain field issues, and frozen pipes can cause backups. If you’re having septic problems in winter, don’t assume you have to wait until spring – we can likely help right away.
Septic line clog clearing typically runs $300-600, depending on the severity and location of the blockage. Basic septic tank repairs range from $500-1500, while drain field restoration can cost $3000-8000 depending on the extent of the damage.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. No “we’ll see what we find” pricing games or surprise charges. You know exactly what the repair will cost before we start, so you can make an informed decision.
Emergency service calls include a service fee, but this gets applied to the repair cost if you choose to have us fix the problem. We’re transparent about all costs because septic repairs are stressful enough without worrying about surprise bills.
