Your drains flow freely. Your yard stays clean. Your family stays healthy. Most importantly, you avoid those $3,000+ emergency repair bills that hit when systems fail completely.

All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving septic problems for Sauganash homeowners who need reliable, professional service. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because septic work affects your family’s health and your property value.
Chicago-area septic systems face unique challenges from clay soil conditions and older infrastructure. We know exactly how these systems behave and what goes wrong. That’s why we can diagnose problems quickly and fix them permanently.
When your neighbor recommends a septic company, they’re recommending us. We’ve built our reputation one properly completed job at a time.
First, we assess your entire system to identify the real problem, not just the symptoms. Many septic issues have multiple causes, and fixing only part of the problem means you’ll call us back in six months.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it costs to fix before we start any work. No surprises, no upselling, no discovering “additional problems” halfway through the job.
Then we complete the repair using professional equipment and proven methods. We pump tanks properly through manhole openings, replace damaged components with quality parts, and restore drain fields that actually drain.
Finally, we test the system to make sure everything works correctly and give you a maintenance schedule to prevent future problems.

We handle every type of septic tank plumbing service Sauganash homeowners need. Emergency repairs when your system backs up. Routine pumping every 3-5 years to prevent problems. Drain field restoration when your yard gets soggy. Septic line clog repair when waste won’t flow.
Sauganash’s older homes often have septic systems installed decades ago with materials and methods that don’t meet today’s standards. We upgrade these systems properly, ensuring they handle modern household demands while meeting current codes.
We also provide comprehensive inspections before you buy a home or when you suspect problems. Our inspections identify issues early, when they’re still affordable to fix, rather than waiting until you need a complete system replacement.
Most Sauganash homeowners need septic tank pumping every 3-5 years, but the exact timing depends on your household size and water usage. A family of four with normal water usage typically needs pumping every 3-4 years.
If you have a garbage disposal, use it frequently, or have more people in your home than the system was designed for, you’ll need more frequent pumping. We recommend annual inspections to check sludge levels and determine the right pumping schedule for your specific situation.
Waiting too long between pumpings causes solids to overflow into your drain field, creating expensive clogs that require drain field repair or replacement.
Call us immediately if you notice sewage backing up into your home, strong sewage odors inside or outside, or wet, soggy areas in your yard over the septic system. These indicate serious problems that can damage your property and create health hazards.
Other warning signs include slow-draining toilets and sinks throughout your home, gurgling sounds from drains, or sewage surfacing in your yard. If multiple drains in your home are slow or backing up simultaneously, that’s a septic system problem, not individual drain clogs.
Don’t wait to address these issues. Septic system failures get worse quickly and become much more expensive to repair. What might cost $800 to fix today could require a $5,000+ drain field replacement if you wait.
No. Septic system repairs require licensed professionals for safety, legal, and practical reasons. Septic tanks contain deadly gases like hydrogen sulfide that cause immediate unconsciousness. They also contain disease-causing bacteria and other health hazards.
Illinois law requires licensed septic contractors to perform all septic system installations, repairs, and modifications. Attempting DIY septic repairs violates local codes and can make your property uninsurable or unsellable.
More importantly, improper septic repairs often make problems worse. We regularly see DIY attempts that turned $500 problems into $3,000+ system failures. Professional repair costs less than fixing botched DIY work and protects your family’s health and your property value.
Basic septic repairs like pump replacement or minor line repairs typically cost $500-$1,500. More extensive repairs like distribution box replacement or drain field restoration cost $1,000-$5,000 depending on the scope of work needed.
Routine maintenance like pumping costs $300-$700 every 3-5 years, while annual inspections cost $150-$450. These maintenance costs prevent the expensive emergency repairs that can cost thousands of dollars.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what repairs will cost. Most septic problems have multiple repair options, and we’ll explain the pros and cons of each approach so you can make an informed decision.
The most common cause is lack of regular pumping, which allows solids to accumulate and overflow into the drain field. This clogs the soil and prevents proper wastewater treatment, eventually causing the entire system to fail.
Sauganash’s clay soil conditions can also cause drain field problems, especially during wet seasons when soil stays saturated longer. Older systems may have been installed before current soil and setback requirements, making them more prone to failure.
Other common causes include flushing inappropriate items like wipes or feminine products, excessive water usage that overloads the system, and using harsh chemicals that kill the beneficial bacteria needed for waste breakdown. We help homeowners identify and correct these issues to prevent future failures.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency septic services throughout Sauganash and the greater Chicago area. Septic emergencies can’t wait until regular business hours, especially when sewage is backing up into your home or creating health hazards in your yard.
Our emergency response includes immediate assessment of the problem, temporary solutions to stop further damage, and permanent repairs completed as quickly as possible. We carry common replacement parts and have the equipment needed to handle most emergency situations immediately.
We understand that septic emergencies are stressful and disruptive. Our goal is to resolve the immediate problem quickly, then provide a long-term solution that prevents similar emergencies in the future. Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls, but we’ll always explain costs upfront before beginning any work.
