Our Reviews
When your septic system fails, everything stops. The smell hits first, then the backup, then the panic about what this is going to cost you.
You need someone who can diagnose the real problem fast and fix it right. Not someone who’s going to milk the situation or push you toward an expensive replacement when a targeted repair will do.
Our septic tank plumbing services get your system working properly again. No more holding your breath when you flush. No more explaining to guests why your yard smells like that. Just a functioning septic system that handles your household waste the way it’s supposed to.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been handling septic emergencies and repairs throughout the Chicago area for years. We know the soil conditions, the common system types, and the specific challenges that Robbins homeowners face with their septic systems.

The Chicago suburbs have a mix of older septic systems and newer installations. We’ve worked on both, and we know what fails first and why.
First, we locate and assess your septic system. Many homeowners don’t even know where their tank is buried, and that’s fine. We use locating equipment to map out your system and identify the problem areas.
Next, we diagnose the issue. Is it a clogged line, a failed pump, a full tank, or drain field problems? Each requires a different approach, and we explain what we find in plain terms.
Then we fix it. Whether that means hydro jetting blocked lines, repairing damaged pipes, or restoring your drain field, we use the right tools and techniques for your specific situation. You’ll know the cost upfront, and we’ll walk you through what we’re doing and why.

Our septic tank plumbing services cover everything from emergency repairs to routine maintenance. We handle septic line clog repair, drain field restoration, pump repairs, and complete system diagnostics.
Robbins sits in an area where soil conditions can affect septic performance. Clay soils don’t drain as well, and older systems weren’t always installed with proper drainage considerations. We factor in these local conditions when we make recommendations.
We also provide emergency septic repairs 24/7 because septic problems don’t wait for business hours. When you’re dealing with sewage backup or system failure, you need help immediately, not next Tuesday.
Most septic problems don’t require full system replacement, even when it feels catastrophic. If you’re experiencing backups, slow drains, or odors, the issue is often in the distribution lines, pump, or drain field rather than the tank itself.
A properly maintained septic tank can last 20-30 years or more. The key is addressing problems early before they cascade into bigger issues. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what needs repair versus what needs replacement.
Signs that point toward repair rather than replacement include isolated clogs, pump failures, or localized drain field issues. Full replacement is typically only needed when the tank structure is compromised or the entire drain field has failed beyond restoration.
Robbins area soil conditions play a big role in drain field performance. Clay soils, which are common in this part of Illinois, don’t allow water to percolate as quickly as sandy soils. This can lead to saturation and system backups.
Over time, drain fields can also become clogged with solids that escape the septic tank, or with biomat buildup that blocks soil absorption. Heavy rains can saturate the soil and overwhelm a struggling system.
We can often restore drain field function through hydro jetting the distribution lines, addressing soil compaction issues, or installing additional drainage where needed. Complete drain field replacement isn’t always necessary if we catch problems early enough.
We provide 24/7 emergency septic repair services because sewage backups and system failures create immediate health and safety concerns. Most emergency calls in the Robbins area receive same-day response, often within a few hours.
Our emergency response includes stopping active backups, identifying the immediate problem, and implementing temporary solutions if needed while we arrange for permanent repairs. We carry diagnostic equipment and common repair parts on our trucks.
For non-emergency issues like slow drains or minor odors, we typically schedule service within 1-2 business days. But if you’re dealing with sewage backup, standing water, or strong odors, that’s an emergency situation that gets priority response.
Our diagnostic service starts with locating your septic system components if their locations aren’t known. We then inspect the tank, check pumps and floats, test the distribution system, and evaluate drain field performance.
We use cameras to inspect lines where needed and can perform flow tests to identify restrictions or blockages. The goal is to understand exactly what’s working, what isn’t, and why your system is having problems.
You’ll receive a clear explanation of what we found, what needs immediate attention, and what might need attention down the road. We provide upfront pricing for recommended repairs so you can make informed decisions about your septic system.
In many cases, yes. We use hydro jetting technology to clear septic line clogs without excavation. High-pressure water can break through most blockages and restore proper flow to your system.
For clogs in the lines between your house and septic tank, or in the distribution lines to your drain field, hydro jetting is often the first and most effective approach. It’s faster and less disruptive than digging.
However, if lines are collapsed, severely damaged, or if there are major structural issues, excavation and repair may be necessary. We’ll always try the least invasive approach first and explain your options based on what we find during our diagnostic process.
Septic repair costs vary significantly based on the specific problem and the extent of work needed. Simple line clearing might run a few hundred dollars, while drain field restoration or major line repairs can cost several thousand.
We provide upfront pricing after diagnosing the issue so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. No surprises, no inflated charges after the fact. Emergency service calls do include premium pricing for after-hours response.
The key is addressing problems early when repairs are typically less expensive. A clogged line that’s cleared promptly costs much less than waiting until it causes drain field damage or system backup throughout your home.
