About Gulliford Septic and Sewer

Gulliford Septic and Sewer is based in Urbana, Illinois, serving a community that includes a large mix of older residential properties, student rentals near the University of Illinois campus, and rural homes in the surrounding Champaign County townships. With 4 reviews and a 2.3 rating, they're a smaller operation worth considering if you're in the area and want a local option. Urbana's aging housing stock means many properties have septic systems that haven't been serviced in years. You can reach them at (217) 337-5996.

Services & Process

Gulliford offers septic services alongside hydro-jetting, which sets them apart from basic pump-and-go providers. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to clear stubborn blockages in sewer lines and drain pipes, including grease buildup, root intrusion, and compacted debris that standard snaking can't fully remove. Standard septic services include tank pumping, system checks, and responding to backup situations. The combination of jetting and traditional septic work means they can handle both the tank side and the pipe side of your system.

Service Area

Gulliford Septic and Sewer serves Urbana and the broader Champaign County area, including Champaign, Savoy, and nearby rural townships. Properties outside city sewer limits in the surrounding farmland communities are a common part of their service territory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hydro-jetting and when do I need it?
Hydro-jetting is a method of clearing pipes using a high-pressure stream of water that scours the inside of the line rather than just punching a hole through a clog. It's especially useful for grease buildup, root intrusion, or recurring blockages that keep coming back after standard snaking.
Can rental properties near the University of Illinois have septic systems?
Yes, some older properties and those on the edges of Urbana may still be on private septic rather than city sewer. If you're a landlord or property manager and aren't sure, a quick inspection can confirm what type of system you have.
How do I know if my issue is a blocked line or a failing septic tank?
If only one fixture is slow or blocked, it's likely a localized pipe issue. If multiple drains throughout the house are backing up at the same time, the problem is probably further downstream, either in the main line or the septic tank itself.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older pipes?
In most cases, yes, though a technician should assess the pipe condition before jetting. Very old or already-cracked pipes may need inspection first to make sure the pressure won't cause additional damage.
How much does septic pumping typically cost in the Urbana area?
Costs vary based on tank size, access difficulty, and whether additional work is needed, but most routine pumpings in the Champaign County area fall in the $250 to $500 range. Getting a clear quote before service starts is always a smart move.
Should a landlord or tenant be responsible for scheduling septic service?
That depends on the lease agreement, but routine maintenance like pumping is typically the landlord's responsibility as a property owner. Emergency situations caused by tenant misuse (flushing inappropriate items, for example) may fall into a gray area depending on the lease terms.
