"The plumber was very nice. The job, while not technically involved, was just "pain in the butt" hard. I'm glad the plumber was not easily deterred, because to my relief, he stuck with it until he finally fixed the issue. I was kinda surprised. If he wants it...I have more work for him!"

ARS®/Rescue Rooter® Chicago was founded with the goal of providing the highest quality air conditioning, heating, insulation, and plumbing services to our customers. We understand that when it comes to the HVAC and plumbing systems in your home, you need to find a team that is trustworthy, experienced, and able to quickly diagnose and resolve your issues. Our company offers a dependable 24/7 emergency service that is designed to meet your needs, whenever they may arise.

"DO NOT HIRE ARS !!!!!!!!!! Extremely disappointed with ARS. We were misquoted on a major sewer line repair ? their technician gave us a firm price without fully inspecting the line, only to come back later with an additional $7,499 estimate after the job was supposedly finished. We also had a basement flood due to a pipe left open by their tech, which cost us time off work and stress. Despite multiple visits, miscommunications, and promises, we still had unresolved issues weeks later. Even the contract stated 2?10 ft of pipe would be replaced, but only 7 ft was done per the permit. When we raised concerns, ARS gave us the runaround. This was a frustrating, expensive experience, and we feel taken advantage of. We trusted their expertise and got poor service instead. It has been almost a month and they have NOT SOLVED OUR PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!"

"It went extremely well. The company sent out a plumber within 30 minutes to diagnose the issue. The hot water heater wasn't connected to the piping and water was gushing out instead of draining into the piping. It was a simple fix and the plumber came in and didn't charge for the 5 minute fix. I was so thankful. I would definitely recommend and use them again."

"Wonderful!!! Love my bathroom remodel thanks to David and Robert. We needed to reschedule for many months due to my father being ill. They were so kind and thoughtful about it. Most contractors would have taken your deposit and never contacted you again. Not them. We completed the project and I am so so happy. They were punctual and tidy, cleaning up every day inside my unit and in the common area of my floor hallway. Talented contractors and even better humans! Thank you both!"

Sewer main install, replace or repairs FAQs

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.
