Our septic tank plumbing service includes everything needed to get your system working properly. We handle septic line cleaning with high-pressure hydro jetting, drain field restoration, septic tank pumping coordination, and emergency repairs.
Dixmoor’s clay-heavy soil creates unique challenges for septic systems. Root intrusion is common here, especially with the mature trees throughout the area. Our hydro jetting equipment cuts through roots and buildup that standard snaking can’t handle.
We also provide septic system inspections that can catch problems before they become emergencies. Many Dixmoor homes have septic systems installed in the 1970s and 80s that are reaching the end of their expected lifespan—regular maintenance can extend that significantly.
Sewage backing up into your home is the clearest emergency sign, but don’t wait that long. Call immediately if you notice sewage odors around your property, especially near the drain field area.
Slow drains throughout your house, gurgling sounds from toilets, or wet spots in your yard over the septic system are warning signs. If multiple drains are slow at once, that’s usually your septic system, not individual drain clogs.
Water pooling around your septic tank or drain field area means the system isn’t processing waste properly. This can quickly escalate to a full backup if not addressed immediately.
Septic pumping removes solid waste from your septic tank—this should happen every 3-5 years depending on household size. Septic line cleaning uses hydro jetting to clear clogs in the pipes between your house and septic tank.
Most septic backups are actually caused by clogged lines, not a full septic tank. Tree roots, grease buildup, and debris can block the pipes completely. Pumping won’t fix a clogged line, and line cleaning won’t help if your tank is full.
We diagnose which issue you’re dealing with before recommending a solution. Sometimes you need both services, but often it’s one or the other.
Yes, in many cases drain field restoration can save you from a complete septic system replacement. We use specialized equipment to break up soil compaction and remove biomat buildup that prevents proper drainage.
The process involves injecting air and water into the drain field to restore soil porosity. This works best when the drain field failure is due to biomat accumulation rather than structural damage to the pipes.
Not every drain field can be restored—if the pipes are crushed or the soil is completely saturated, replacement might be necessary. But restoration costs about 30% of full replacement when it’s possible.
Emergency septic line cleaning typically runs $300-800 depending on the severity of the clog and line length. Drain field restoration ranges from $2,500-5,000, while complete septic system replacement can cost $15,000-25,000.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Emergency service doesn’t mean emergency pricing—our rates are the same whether we’re there at 2 PM or 2 AM.
Most septic emergencies are actually line clogs that can be cleared with hydro jetting for a few hundred dollars. The key is calling before the backup reaches your house and causes property damage.
Absolutely. We service septic systems throughout Dixmoor and the surrounding rural areas where municipal sewer isn’t available. Many properties in this area rely on septic systems, and we’re familiar with the local soil conditions and regulations.
Rural septic systems often have longer runs from the house to the septic tank, which means more opportunity for root intrusion and clogs. Our hydro jetting equipment can handle lines up to 300 feet long.
We also work with local septic pumping companies and can coordinate full system maintenance. Having all your septic services coordinated through one company simplifies scheduling and ensures everything works together properly.
Root intrusion is the biggest issue we see in Dixmoor, especially with the mature trees throughout the area. Tree roots seek out septic lines for the water and nutrients, then grow inside the pipes until they block flow completely.
Clay soil conditions also create drainage challenges for septic systems. When clay becomes saturated, it doesn’t allow proper drainage from the septic drain field, which can cause backups.
Older septic systems installed in the 1970s and 80s are reaching the end of their lifespan. Cast iron septic lines from that era are particularly prone to collapse, especially where they connect to the septic tank.
