Our Reviews
When your septic system works properly, you don’t think about it. No slow drains backing up during dinner prep. No mysterious odors drifting across your yard when you’re trying to enjoy your patio. No panic when guests are coming over and your toilets won’t flush right.
That’s what we restore for Mount Prospect homeowners. Systems that handle your family’s daily needs without drama or surprises. You get back to focusing on what matters instead of worrying about when the next backup might happen.

Most Mount Prospect homes need septic tank pumping every 2-3 years, but your specific schedule depends on household size and water usage. A family of four typically needs pumping every 3 years, while larger households or homes with garbage disposals may need service every 2 years.
The EPA recommends professional inspections every 3 years to check sludge and scum levels. If the bottom of the scum layer is within 6 inches of the outlet, or the sludge layer is within 12 inches, it’s time for pumping regardless of the timeline.
We keep detailed service records for every Mount Prospect customer, so you’ll know exactly when your next pumping is due. Regular maintenance prevents expensive emergencies and keeps your system running efficiently for decades.
Watch for slow-draining fixtures throughout your home, especially if multiple drains are affected simultaneously. Sewage odors in your yard or around the drain field area indicate effluent isn’t being properly absorbed into the soil.
Standing water or soggy spots over the drain field, particularly during dry weather, signal serious problems. You might also notice unusually green or lush grass in the drain field area where nutrients from untreated wastewater are reaching the surface.
Inside your home, gurgling sounds when you flush toilets or drain sinks often indicate system backup. If you experience any of these symptoms, call immediately. Early intervention with drain field restoration can save thousands compared to complete system replacement.
Many septic problems can be repaired without full system replacement, saving Mount Prospect homeowners significant money. Drain field restoration techniques can restore soil permeability and extend system life by decades. Hydro jetting clears stubborn clogs that cause backups.
We use advanced diagnostic tools to determine exactly what’s failing and whether repair is viable. Tank repairs for cracks or damaged baffles are often straightforward. Pipe repairs for root intrusion or settling damage typically cost far less than replacement.
Complete replacement is only necessary when systems are beyond their useful life (typically 25-30 years) or when major components have failed beyond repair. Our honest assessment helps you make the best financial decision for your situation.
