"Great overall experience with Drains inc. Tim was quick to respond to emails and texts. On time for the job as well which took 3 trips to finish. I had a major sewer line repair that needed to be done, I was in the process of selling my house and Drains Inc was able to accommodate me on a tight schedule. Very professional, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They saved me 6 thousand dollars compared to the other plumbers quote ( Chicago Sewer and Drain Professionals Inc) after I paid them 880 bucks to hydrojet my sewer line and they couldn't even clear the line or even bother to rod it again. Then gave me an insane quote to fix my sewer line which had a section of pipe missing. Tim came out and cleaned up their sloppy half *ss work and gave me a much better price. In a nutshell if you want good honest work done go with Drains Inc and give Tim a call."

"When one is looking for a plumber, if you?re like me, it is possibly an urgent situation (as in in my case a sewer that was backing up.) So, to save you time, I?ll start with my bottomline opinion.  Reliance was excellent!  Alex, the owner, John, Cesar, Keith, and all the guys who worked on my home were honest, hardworking, and kind human beings.  They were also really good plumbers?. but, in my estimation the humanity that the company is seriously priceless.  It was the first time I worked with them, and I know that it won?t be the last.  They will be my first ?plumber? call.  I have them in my cell phone.
Now, to return to the beginning of my tale. I noticed an increasing amount of dirt around the sewer by my washing machine. (My laundry room is on a slab on the main floor.)  I called a different company that came out to rod the line from an interior clean out in my family room.They worked tirelessly for a day, but couldn?t get through, ended up getting their rod stuck in the line, actually had to return the next day to retrieve their equipment.  Based on their camera and detector inspection, they advised that I needed to dig down to the sewer.  Based on their staffing and scheduling, they simply didn?t have the manpower to handle it at that time, and recommended I call another company.
And that brings me to Reliance.  I called them first time in the morning.  John showed up that same day to estimate the job.  On Saturday...yes, on a weekend,  they began breaking through to the sewer. (They knew I only had a very minimal water flow and responded immediately to the urgency of the matter.  Over the next week they put in an exterior cleanout (much better for the future than my inside one) repaired the sewer that had corroded, replaced backfill and concrete, rodded to the street and then discovered that due to the roots by large evergreens they needed to power wash it, which they did the next day.  They were at my house a full week. They worked hard.  They were respectful and not only worked to fix the problem, but to make sure that I was informed and pleased with their work. I was rather distraught about the situation, and those guys made it as calming as it could be - considering I had to go elsewhere to shower, etc.  I want to add that Alex, the owner, actually came to my house several times to check on the progress and even after it was done to review the entire job.  He was a total stranger, but I would have been proud if he were my son! He was exceptionally considerate. What a nice young man.
I would be remiss if I didn?t mention that there were issues? life?s rarely perfect.  In part some things went wrong because they were starting where another company left off. In hindsight, I think they should have repeated some diagnostics to pinpoint the location of the problem. I?d suggested it, but they didn?t.  I wish I would have insisted. The result was that there was additional  jackhammering/digging in the driveway before they discovered that the break was just two feet  inside the house, instead of a few feet outside that same wall. They had to move indoors on the following days to open the floor in the slab.  But, they made good on their error, and didn?t charge for the additional work.  It was longer project, slower, but they kept going till it was done RIGHT. It was more money than initially estimated because they couldn?t have known that the roots would require the power wash.  And digging indoors is more time consuming.   
I should add that on the days they were working outdoors it was brutally cold...remember that week?  Not one man ever complained.  And on the last day when they were power washing the sewer (temp had gone up), I asked if they could wash the driveway to get rid of the dirt residue from all the digging so that I wouldn?t continue tracking it into the house.  They did and were proud of the results.
People taking pride in their work and caring about customer statisfaction is all too rare in our world today.  Want to see it?  Call these guys.  As horrible as my situation was, at the coldest point in the year, Reliance made it as positive as possible. Thanks.

"Called Weds morning and David and Kori were there by noon. They hydro jetted the corrugated drainage pipe from the source to the end and then backwards again to remove the obstruction. Free flow of water was quickly restored. They also jetted a second line from the drain site backwards and the return of that one was clear water as well. Cannot recommend this company highly enough. Promptness of service, very professional work ethic with great success, and very reasonable cost. Better yet they let this old Do it yourselfer watch and answered all my questions about what was going on. Anyone who needs sewer or other drain lines cleaned or worked on should call Econo Sewer and Drain."

"We had a strange occurrence happen, water coming out of a smoke detector, we initially thought this was a plumbing issue. We called Lifeline Plumbing, they quickly responded, had a plumber (Anthony) out to our house within an hour. After running all the water in the house, he determined this was not plumbing related. This was a huge relief. It turns out this was related to condensation built up in the attic. While he was here, we started talking about possibly having a water softener installed. He explained the benefits of having one, especially if you have hard water, (we do). He wrote up two different proposals. One for the basic water softener, one for the better of the two, this one removes all the chemicals from the water, basically having filtered water throughout your whole house. If you have a water dispenser on your refrigerator, no need to buy those filters anymore. We decided on the better of the two, the price difference was not much more. We also asked if he could replace a showerhead in our bathroom and flappers in two of our toilets. We set a date for the following Friday. Anthony did a great job, he was on time, he had to make modifications to our pipes, so the water softener could be installed in our furnace/water heater room. He took his time, he was here all day, we knew this ahead of time, because of the necessary modifications to pipes. worked the whole time, he didn't even take a lunch break. He changed out the showerhead and flappers. We are so pleased with all of his work. Very nice, professional. He cleaned his mess afterwards. He showed us how to fill the salt, how often. Before he left we discussed having new sump pumps put in at a later date, we will definitely call Lifeline Plumbing, when we are ready to do this. It's only been 4 days we already notice a big difference in the quality of our water. Very pleased. Thank you Lifeline, Anthony is a great asset to your team."

"Ramon and his team were wonderful to work with throughout the process of replacing a part of my main sewer line. They diagnosed the issue quickly the day after we discovered it, they provided a very fair quote and were transparent how it could change depending on how far the break was from the house foundation, and after working with the village to pull the permit, they were out here on a Tuesday (first came out Friday) and finished the job in 3-4 hours. The work looks amazing and I am assured I should not run into any issues in the future...even if I do, it is under warranty. Ramon was great to deal with, I had his personal number and he was reachable by text and call. They are knowledgeable, respectful, educational, and replaced everything they had to dig up. I would recommend them for a need like this and probably anything else related."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Highland Park, IL

Most trenchless sewer line replacements can be completed within one to three days, though this varies based on your situation. Simple repairs on accessible lines might be finished in hours, while complex systems or challenging soil conditions could extend the timeline. The reduced excavation requirements result in faster completion compared to traditional trenching methods.

Trenchless pipe lining may reduce the interior diameter of your pipes, which could affect flow capacity in already narrow lines. This method also requires the existing pipe to maintain sufficient structural integrity to support the new liner. Severely collapsed sections, major joint separations, or completely misaligned pipes might not be suitable candidates for lining and could require alternative approaches.

Trenchless sewer pipe liners are rated to last up to 50 years when properly installed and maintained. Actual longevity depends on installation quality, usage patterns, and environmental factors like soil movement or tree root intrusion. Regular maintenance and avoiding problematic disposal practices (like flushing non-biodegradable items) can help maximize your system's operational lifespan.

Trenchless technology availability varies by region, with greater accessibility in metropolitan and suburban areas where specialized contractors operate. Some rural locations may have limited access to trenchless equipment and expertise. Local regulations and soil conditions also influence availability. A professional assessment of your property and local contractor options will determine if trenchless methods are feasible for your specific location.

Professional video inspection provides the most reliable assessment of whether your sewer issues suit trenchless repair. Generally, pipes with moderate damage, like small cracks, minor leaks, or partial blockages, respond well to trenchless techniques. Completely collapsed sections, severe misalignments, or extensive structural failures might require traditional excavation. Consulting with contractors who offer both methods ensures you receive unbiased recommendations.

Quality trenchless sewer replacement often includes a workmanship guarantee from the contractor. The specific terms vary by company and region, but many professionals stand behind their installation for at least one year. Material warranties may extend longer, depending on the pipe products used. Always request written warranty information before hiring, and understand exactly what's covered and what might void your protection.
