Our Reviews
You’re dealing with more than just a plumbing problem. Septic failures mean health risks, property damage, and the stress of not knowing who to trust with such a critical system.
When we handle your septic tank plumbing, you get immediate relief from backups and odors. Your drains flow properly again. The soggy spots in your yard disappear, and that awful smell is gone for good.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing your system is working correctly and won’t surprise you with another expensive emergency next month. That’s what proper septic system repair looks like.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts has been handling complex plumbing challenges across the Chicago area for years. We’re not just another plumbing company that dabbles in septic work.
Our team understands how Illinois soil conditions affect septic performance, especially in areas like Burbank where clay soil and seasonal weather changes create unique challenges. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because this work matters too much to leave to chance.
When other companies say “it’s complicated” or quote you prices that don’t make sense, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it properly.
First, we assess your entire septic system, not just the obvious problem. This means checking your tank, distribution box, and drain field to understand what’s really going on.
Next, we use advanced diagnostic tools and hydro jetting equipment to clear blockages and identify any structural issues. No guesswork, no band-aid solutions that fail in six months.
Then we handle the repairs with the right materials and techniques for your specific system type. We explain what we’re doing and why, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. When we’re done, your system works like it should, and you know what to watch for to keep it that way.

Your septic tank plumbing service includes thorough system inspection, professional hydro jetting to clear stubborn clogs, and repair of damaged lines or components. We handle everything from simple drain field restoration to complex emergency septic repairs.
In Burbank’s clay-heavy soil, septic systems face unique challenges that require local expertise. We understand how seasonal freeze-thaw cycles affect your lines and how proper grading prevents future problems.
You also get upfront pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your bill. Our emergency septic repairs are available 24/7 because septic failures don’t wait for business hours.
Watch for sewage backing up into your home, especially in basement drains or the lowest bathroom. Foul odors around your septic tank or in your yard are another clear sign something’s wrong.
You’ll also notice slow draining throughout your house, not just one fixture. Gurgling sounds when you flush or drain water indicate air in the lines where it shouldn’t be.
Standing water or unusually green grass over your drain field means effluent isn’t being absorbed properly. Don’t wait on these signs – septic problems get expensive fast when you ignore them.
Pumping removes accumulated solids from your tank, which needs to happen every 3-5 years for most households. It’s maintenance, not a repair, and won’t fix structural problems or clogged lines.
Actual septic system repair addresses broken pipes, failed drain fields, damaged tank components, or severe blockages that pumping can’t clear. These require diagnostic equipment and specialized repair techniques.
If you’re having backups or odors, pumping alone probably won’t solve the problem. You need someone who can identify what’s actually broken and fix it properly, not just empty the tank and hope for the best.
Simple line clogs and minor repairs usually take 2-4 hours once we’re on site. More complex issues like drain field restoration or tank component replacement can take 1-2 days.
Emergency septic repairs get priority scheduling, and we’ll stabilize the immediate problem quickly to prevent further damage to your property. Then we can schedule the complete repair at a time that works for you.
Weather affects outdoor work, especially in Illinois winters, but we have equipment and techniques to handle repairs year-round when necessary. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
Yes, we handle emergency septic repairs year-round, including Illinois winters. Frozen ground makes some work more challenging, but septic failures can’t wait for spring.
We use specialized equipment to access buried lines and tanks even when the ground is frozen. For extensive drain field work, we might recommend temporary solutions until conditions improve, but we can always address immediate health and safety concerns.
The key is calling quickly when problems start. Waiting until spring often means more extensive damage and higher repair costs. We’ll explain your options and help you decide what needs to happen immediately versus what can wait.
Costs vary significantly based on what’s actually wrong with your system. Simple line clearing might run $300-600, while drain field restoration can cost several thousand dollars.
We provide upfront pricing after diagnosing the problem, so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins. No surprise charges or vague estimates that balloon into bigger bills.
Emergency service calls include a diagnostic fee that applies toward repair costs if you choose to proceed. Most septic repairs cost less than replacing the entire system, which is why getting professional help quickly usually saves money in the long run.
Absolutely. Regular maintenance prevents most expensive septic emergencies and extends your system’s life significantly. We recommend annual inspections and pumping every 3-5 years depending on household size and usage.
Our maintenance service includes checking all system components, measuring sludge and scum levels, and identifying potential problems before they cause backups or failures. We also provide guidance on proper usage to avoid damaging your system.
Preventive maintenance costs a fraction of emergency repairs and gives you peace of mind that your system is working properly. We can set up a regular schedule that fits your budget and keeps your septic system running smoothly year-round.
