Broadview Sewer Repair Company

Chicago Plumbers Who Actually Show Up

We’ve been handling Chicago-area sewer emergencies long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. When your sewer backs up at 2 AM or your line collapses on a Sunday, we’re the team that actually answers the phone.

Broadview’s aging sewer infrastructure means problems happen. Houses built in the 50s and 60s are hitting that point where cast iron pipes start failing and tree roots find every crack. We’ve seen it all in this area.

You won’t get surprise charges or pressure tactics from us. We show you what’s wrong, explain your options, and give you a firm price before we start. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in Chicago—one honest repair at a time.

Sewer Line Inspection Process Broadview

How We Actually Fix Your Sewer

First, we run a camera through your line to see exactly what’s happening. No guessing, no digging up your yard to “explore.” The camera shows us breaks, blockages, root intrusion, or pipe collapse in real time.

Then we explain what we found and give you options. Sometimes it’s a simple blockage we can clear with hydro jetting. Sometimes it’s a section that needs repair or replacement. We show you the footage so you understand what needs fixing.

For repairs, we often use trenchless methods that fix the problem without destroying your landscaping. If excavation is necessary, we dig precisely where the problem is—not your entire yard. You get a permanent fix that handles whatever your household demands.

Trenchless Sewer Repair Broadview IL

What You Get With Our Service

Every sewer repair includes a complete camera inspection so you see exactly what was wrong and confirm the fix is solid. We don’t patch problems—we solve them permanently.

Broadview’s clay and cast iron sewer lines are particularly vulnerable to root intrusion and settling damage. Our trenchless repair options can often fix these issues without tearing up your driveway or landscaping. When excavation is needed, we restore everything we disturb.

You get upfront pricing before we start, 24/7 availability for emergencies, and same-day service when your situation can’t wait. Our repairs come with guarantees because we use methods and materials that last. No callbacks, no repeat problems, no wondering if it’ll hold up.

How do I know if I need sewer line repair or replacement?

The camera inspection tells the whole story. If we see localized damage—a break, root intrusion in one spot, or a small section that’s collapsed—repair usually makes sense. You’re looking at fixing 10-20 feet instead of replacing 100 feet. Replacement makes sense when the entire line is deteriorating, when repairs would cost almost as much as replacement, or when the pipe material itself is failing. Cast iron lines from the 1950s often hit this point around 70 years old. We show you the camera footage and explain what we’re seeing. You’ll understand whether you’re dealing with a specific problem that can be fixed or a line that’s reached the end of its useful life.

What's the difference between trenchless repair and traditional excavation?

Trenchless repair fixes your sewer line from the inside, usually through existing access points. We can line sections of pipe, seal joints, or even replace sections without digging up your yard. Your landscaping, driveway, and sidewalks stay intact. Traditional excavation means digging down to the pipe to access the problem directly. Sometimes this is necessary—when the line has completely collapsed or when trenchless methods won’t work for the specific damage we’re seeing. Both methods give you a permanent fix. Trenchless is less disruptive and often faster, but it’s not always possible depending on the damage. The camera inspection shows us which approach will work best for your specific situation.

How long does sewer line repair typically take?

Simple repairs—clearing blockages or sealing small cracks—often take a few hours. More complex repairs involving pipe replacement can take a full day, sometimes two if we’re dealing with extensive damage or difficult access. Emergency situations get priority. If sewage is backing up into your house, we focus on stopping that immediately, then complete the permanent repair. You won’t be without working plumbing while we fix the underlying problem. Weather and ground conditions affect timing, especially for excavation work. Frozen ground in winter or saturated soil after heavy rains can slow things down. We’ll give you realistic timeframes based on your specific situation and current conditions.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover sewer line repair?

Most standard homeowner’s policies don’t cover sewer line repair unless the damage resulted from a covered event like a tree falling on the line. Normal wear and tear, root intrusion, and age-related deterioration typically aren’t covered. Some insurance companies offer sewer line coverage as an add-on or endorsement. If you have this coverage, keep your receipts and documentation—insurers usually want proof that the damage wasn’t due to lack of maintenance. We provide detailed invoices and can document the cause of the damage for insurance purposes. Even if insurance doesn’t cover the repair, fixing it quickly prevents water damage to your home, which could result in much larger claims.

How can I prevent future sewer line problems?

Regular camera inspections catch problems before they become emergencies. We recommend checking your line every few years, especially in homes over 30 years old or properties with large trees near the sewer line. Be careful what goes down your drains. Grease, “flushable” wipes, and excessive toilet paper cause blockages that put pressure on aging pipes. Tree root treatments can slow root intrusion if you catch it early. Know your warning signs: slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors in your basement. These often indicate developing problems that are much cheaper to fix before they become complete blockages or breaks.

What should I do if sewage is backing up into my house?

Stop using water immediately—no toilets, sinks, showers, or washing machines. Every gallon you add makes the backup worse and spreads contamination further through your house. Call us right away. Sewage backups are health emergencies, not just plumbing problems. The contaminated water carries bacteria and viruses that make people sick, and it damages everything it touches. If possible, shut off electricity to affected areas and avoid contact with the contaminated water. Don’t try to clean it up yourself—sewage requires proper disinfection and disposal. We’ll stop the backup first, then coordinate with restoration professionals if needed.
