Our Reviews
Your drains flow freely without gurgling or backing up. Your yard doesn’t smell like sewage or have soggy spots where it shouldn’t. Your septic alarm stays quiet.
When your septic system works properly, you forget it exists. No more scheduling your life around slow drains or worrying about what happens when guests come over. You get back to normal life without the stress of wondering when the next backup will hit.
That’s what happens when septic problems get fixed right the first time. No temporary patches or “let’s see if this works” approaches that leave you dealing with the same mess six months later.

We handle everything your septic system needs. Emergency septic repairs when your system backs up or fails completely. Septic line clog repair using advanced hydro jetting that clears blockages other methods can’t touch. Drain field restoration to extend your system’s life and avoid expensive replacement.
Wasco’s clay-heavy soil can cause specific septic issues that require local expertise. Drain fields can become saturated during heavy rains, and older systems may have components that don’t meet current Illinois septic codes. We understand these local conditions and how they affect your septic system’s performance.
Regular septic system maintenance prevents most emergency situations. We provide comprehensive inspections, pumping services, and preventive maintenance that keeps your system running properly. It’s much cheaper than emergency repairs and eliminates the stress of unexpected septic failures.
Sewage backing up into your house is the clearest emergency sign. You’ll also need immediate help if you smell sewage in your yard, see standing water around your septic tank or drain field, or hear your septic alarm going off continuously.
Other warning signs include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, and extremely slow drainage throughout your house. These often indicate serious blockages or system failures that won’t resolve on their own.
Don’t wait if you’re seeing these signs. Septic emergencies get worse quickly and can cause significant property damage, health hazards, and much higher repair costs if left untreated.
Wasco’s clay-heavy soil doesn’t drain as well as sandy soil, which can cause drain fields to become saturated and fail to properly filter wastewater. Heavy rains and spring thaw can overwhelm drain fields that are already struggling with poor soil drainage.
Tree roots are another common cause of drain field problems in this area. Mature trees seek out the moisture and nutrients in septic systems, and their roots can damage pipes and clog the soil around drain field lines.
Overloading the system with too much water at once also causes drain field failures. This happens when multiple loads of laundry are done in one day, or when water softeners discharge large amounts of salt water into the septic system all at once.
Most septic line clog repairs using hydro jetting take 2-4 hours, depending on the severity and location of the blockage. Simple clogs near the house clear faster, while blockages deep in the system or in the drain field take longer to properly address.
We use high-pressure water jetting that cuts through roots, grease buildup, and solid waste that’s causing the clog. This method is more thorough than traditional snaking and typically provides longer-lasting results.
The diagnostic phase takes about 30-60 minutes as we locate the exact source of the problem. We don’t start clearing clogs until we know exactly what we’re dealing with, which prevents damage to your septic system and ensures we address the real issue.
Yes, we handle septic repairs year-round, including during Illinois winters. Frozen ground makes some repairs more challenging, but emergency septic issues can’t wait for spring thaw.
We have equipment designed for cold weather septic work, including specialized tools for accessing buried components when the ground is frozen. Indoor repairs like clearing backed-up lines proceed normally regardless of outside temperature.
Winter septic emergencies are actually more common because frozen pipes and saturated soil from snow melt can cause system failures. We’re available 24/7 during winter months because septic problems don’t pause for bad weather.
Complete septic system maintenance includes pumping the tank, inspecting all components for damage or wear, checking baffles and filters, and testing the drain field for proper function. We also inspect the distribution box and check for any signs of system overload or failure.
We measure sludge and scum levels in your tank to determine optimal pumping frequency for your household size and usage patterns. Most residential systems need pumping every 3-5 years, but this varies based on tank size and number of occupants.
Our maintenance service includes a detailed report of your system’s condition and recommendations for any needed repairs or improvements. We catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies, which saves you money and prevents system failures.
Emergency septic repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your system. Simple line clearing typically runs $300-600, while more complex repairs like drain field restoration or tank component replacement cost more.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges or “additional problems we discovered” that weren’t discussed beforehand. Emergency service doesn’t mean emergency pricing designed to take advantage of your situation.
Most septic emergencies cost significantly less to fix when addressed quickly. Waiting often leads to property damage, health hazards, and more extensive system damage that requires expensive repairs or complete system replacement.
