"I have been dealing with sewer smell, sewer back-up, and rats in my basement for many months without much progress after multiple contractors and plumbers. I began the screening process again and found Tim to listen and problem-solve better than any other professional. He expertise really came through at multiple stages of the project. During his camera scope he identified problems not previously picked up. During the repair phase he talked me through the process and was very thorough and organized in his work. During final phase, he came back to hydrojet and rod the entire sewer system out to the city line, provided additional repairs to broken waters lines and gaps in the concrete floor. In the end, Tim did a major repair digging out our front yard to access and repair the sewer line. The majority of the smell has dissipated and, for the first time, I have some peace of mind."

"I cannot recommend Ramon highly enough. He and his crew fully replaced a destroyed sewer line for me on extremely short notice and at an unbelievably affordable price. This project involved excavating the damaged line and installing a new section, and then rodding and cleaning the entirety of my sewer line. Ramon was responsive, completely on top of everything, and gave me a lot of peace of mind during a very stressful time. I am very thankful to him and his team and will be recommending them to everyone I know that is in need of sewer inspection or repair!"

"Right plumber for the job! I had several other plumbers come and offer me quotes for my low water pressure. When Mostapha was invited into my home, he saved the day by repairing my pipes and fixtures. He used his magic to solve the issue under my kitchen sink. I knew this was the right solution because his suggestions, knowledge, and clarity helped me understand the problem. Other plumbers had offered me quotes almost $3,000 more but stated their service might not fix the issue. Mostapha solved my plumbing problems. I would recommend and hire him for any of my plumbing issues."

"I had a great experience with this sewage company. They came out quickly, cleared my main line, and used a camera to show me exactly what was going on—I had tree branches causing the blockage. I really appreciated how they took the time to explain everything and made sure I understood the issue. Very professional, efficient, and honest service from start to finish."

"Mario did an excellent job, we are beyond happy with the outcome of our basement. The work that he has done includes, installing a new gas line, installing a new sink, cutting and trimming overgrown roots which were creating a blockage, and inspecting our outside drain. So far so good thank you for the outstanding job! "

"Kyle Richard did an amazing job with my sewer inspection from start to finish. He arrived on time, explained what he was going to do, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. What I appreciated most was how thorough he was—after the inspection, he took the time to show me the video footage of my sewer and clearly walked me through what he was seeing. He answered my questions without rushing and made sure I understood everything before wrapping up. On top of that, Kyle was genuinely friendly and professional the entire visit. He was great with my wife and even took a moment to be kind and patient with my dog, which definitely didn’t go unnoticed. It’s not often you find someone who does quality work and also treats your home and family with respect. If you need a sewer inspection, I’d absolutely recommend Kyle Richard—excellent service all around."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Fox Lake, IL

When installing a sewer line, you should consider extra costs like tree removal, driveway repairs, or patio resurfacing. Hiring a professional plumber is essential, and you may need additional specialists if landscaping or heavy excavation is involved. Addressing these potential extras up front helps ensure accurate budgeting and prevents sudden cost overruns.

To calculate the length of sewer piping you need, measure the distance from your house to the main sewer line, adding the depth of the city main to this distance. Be sure to account for any obstacles like tree roots or utility lines that may require additional piping.

City sewer lines are installed at a lower elevation to prevent unwanted backflow and water damage. This lower positioning ensures enhanced performance and long-term safety, meeting all technical and safety standards.

With trenchless methods, a plumber inserts a smaller pipe within the existing plumbing, avoiding full excavation. It can be more cost-effective and less disruptive than traditional methods, but it's not suitable for all homes.

Yes, you must secure permission from your local water authority before connecting to a public sewer line. This approval ensures your connection meets all regulatory requirements.

Sewer lines are buried between 18 inches and 8 feet deep, with most systems placed between 18 and 30 inches. In colder regions, pipes are set deeper to remain below the frost line.
