Get matched with top sewer main clearers in Antioch, IL

"I have used ATR Plumbing on multiple occasions and have found them to be friendly, on time, performed excellent work. I wouldn’t use anyone else. I highly recommend them!"

"Kent was fantastic, highly recommend him as an experienced plumber for complex plumbing work. Had three small projects that he was able to complete. Goes above and beyond in explaining items. Very respectful."

"Dillon came out to repair/fix a sanitary sump cover that wasn't sealing any more and letting smells into the basement. He called ahead to let me know he was on the way. He thoroughly explained my options to repair as well as estimated time and cost of each. Since a 29 year old check valve could eventually be a problem I asked him to add that to the request. He had one on his truck so a 2nd visit wasn't needed. This did require new PVC work as the previous installation left no room for a simple replacement repair. He also cleaned out the silt and plant growth from my storm sump. He provided an estimate to replace my aging hot water tank and detailed info about a tankless option. He possessed a remarkable supply of information about all manner of things. He cleaned up well, leaving no debris behind. I wouldn't hesitate to ask for him when doing any future work. $995 total."

"We live in an older neighborhood with a unique older sewer system that uses a septic catch basin/tank (~500 gal) that discharges to the main (city) sewer system. Most of the plumbers and other septic companies I spoke with had no experience with this, but A&J has worked in this area before and understood what to look for. We are new owners of the home, but according to our neighbors the tank has not been opened in over 30 years! We provided all the details on the system that we had discovered and even sent photos. We scheduled for a septic pumping, rodding and camera of the discharge line. The septic crew gave us a courtesy call 30 minutes prior to arrival and wanted to make sure we knew there was a digging fee to unbury the tank lid after the first foot…We were not told that while setting up the appointment. We postponed the service and dug up the lid ourselves, which A&J had no problem with. Once the lid was exposed, we rescheduled and again the septic crew gave us a courtesy call. They arrived on-time and were professional but brief. Our sanitary solids were right at the bottom of the inlet, and the septic crew did a decent job pumping and a good job taking care in our yard and keeping their equipment organized. Unfortunately, their power washer was broken and they had to use our hose and water. We had to ask to get my hose cleaned off afterwards – you would think they would do that automatically, as a courtesy, after having to use it. Additionally, we were told we may have a soil bottom and they couldn’t spend “all day” (<1hr) pumping. (Afterwards, I called the city and they said that was very unlikely). If the crew brought the right equipment (working power washer, crust buster or equiv.) then the pumping would not have taken so long. The sewer rodding staff, Kyle, was the star of the show! He called us 1.5 hrs before the appointment to let me know his current job was likey to go long and there was traffic getting out of Chicago, so we pushed the appointment – he arrived exactly when he said he would. He set up his equipment quick and efficiently, the whole time explaining what he was planning to do and asking questions about my system. Kyle noticed our outlet baffle was loose due to its age and looooong neglect, was at risk of breaking during service. Note my outlet baffle is almost 7 ft bgs. Kyle provided us with a few troubleshooting options and explained the risk and benefits clearly. In the end he worked carefully, protected our baffle and had the line cleared all the way to the main in no time. Kyle even saved us a few hundred $, noticing there was a fair amount of sludge on the rodder cable. With the tank still filling (no water discharge) the camera lens would be obscured by the sludge, but we still would have to be charged for the service. He recommended waiting a few weeks to allow the line to clear and either reschedule the camera service then or just monitor the tank and request the service as needed. All in all, A&J did good work, but I was not fully impressed with the pumping service and was considering another contractor next time until Kyle showed up. He was knowledgeable, clear and truthful and got the work done efficiently. That’s how a service should be provided – having the tools to perform the work, well trained, up front and courteous staff."

"These guys are real quality. They know their business, show up on time, and get the job done in a professional fashion. As with all companies things sometimes go wrong. Great companies like Fettes deal with it and do whatever it takes (within reason) to make the customer happy. This is a great company."

"We were on well water when our pipes sprung a leak. Unfortunately, our pipes are under the driveway and masonry walls. So we opted to tap in to city water. John Bollweg and an assistant did all the plumbing work and had a driller/borer put a line through the front yard. They prepared us in advance for what was needed, such as clearing out a section of the basement for the work and repairing the front easement after the work was completed. The job went smoothly, much more than we expected since it was complicated. John came the day before the drilling to install the interior pipe in preparation. The driller/borer came the next day and did the underground work while John excavated outside and hooked everything up inside. The entire crew was efficient and professional. They cleaned up after themselves."

"The plumber was professional and efficient. He showed up earlier than expected and got the job done quickly and well."

"Steve Gavin, the owner came out and provided me with a great price that was inclusive of the entire scope of the project. During our meeting he took the time to explain the process that his company uses. Once the permits were issued the crew arrived the next morning at 7:00 a.m. as promised. The crew met the deadline for a 1:30 inspection from the Village of Deerfield. They not only met the deadline but they passed the inspection without any issues to be corrected. The crew worked until 7:00 p.m. completing the job. I would also note that they left my home spotless!"

"Overall, I was not pleased with the work being done. My install did not go well at all. I went from failed pump with no flooding to new pump and flooding. S&K had to come back out and proceeded to cause a overspill 2x more times before correcting the issue. They also left me with the mess to clean up. This was sewage water by the way. They also did not reseal the pit cover. I had a another plumbing company come out and double check the work and seal the pit cover. I would not use them again."

"I called Riverside Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, whom I have used for years, and someone was out within an hour. He was professional, very knowledgeable, explained our options, and handled the problem. He funneled the leaking water to our floor drain, as well as turn off the unit. He called us the next day with our options to purchase a replacement, we ordered and it was delivered and installed that day. Very thankful we have Riverside Plmbg Htg & AC to call upon for routine maintenance and for emergency service. Highly recommend this family run company."
