What are signs my sewer line has a problem?

Warning signs include multiple drains backing up simultaneously, gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, sewage odors in the house or yard, unusually lush patches of grass over the sewer line, and slow drains throughout the home. A single slow drain is usually a local clog, but multiple slow drains point to the main sewer line.

How do tree roots get into sewer lines?

Tree roots are attracted to the moisture and nutrients inside sewer pipes. They enter through tiny cracks, joints, or loose connections and grow inside the pipe, eventually causing blockages and further damage. Older clay and cast iron pipes are especially vulnerable. Regular camera inspections can catch root intrusion early.

What is trenchless sewer repair?

Trenchless methods repair or replace sewer lines without digging up your entire yard. Pipe lining inserts a resin-coated liner that hardens inside the existing pipe, creating a new pipe within the old one. Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through the old one, breaking it apart. Both methods save your landscaping and reduce project time.

Am I responsible for the sewer line from my house to the street?

In most Illinois municipalities, the homeowner is responsible for the sewer lateral from the house to the connection at the main sewer in the street. The city maintains the main sewer line. Some municipalities split responsibility at the property line. Check with your local village or city for their specific policy.

How often should I have my sewer line cleaned?

For most homes, sewer line cleaning every 1-2 years is a good preventive measure. If you have large trees near the line, older pipes, or a history of backups, annual cleaning is recommended. Regular cleaning removes buildup before it causes a backup and extends the life of your sewer line.

What should I do if my sewer is backing up?

Stop using all water in the home immediately — no flushing, no running faucets, no laundry. This prevents more sewage from coming up. If the backup is severe, avoid the affected area for sanitation reasons. Call a plumber for emergency service. We offer same-day sewer emergency response.
