Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sewer lateral and who is responsible for repairing it in Chicago?
The sewer lateral is the private pipe running from your building to the public sewer main in the street. In Chicago, the property owner is responsible for the full length of this lateral, including the portion running under the public right-of-way up to the connection point.
How does a sewer camera inspection work?
A flexible cable with a high-resolution camera is fed through a cleanout access point and pushed through the pipe, transmitting live video to a monitor above ground. The technician can pinpoint exactly where a blockage, crack, or root intrusion is located, along with its depth, before deciding on the right repair approach.
Can tree roots really damage a sewer line, and how common is it in Chicago?
Tree root intrusion is extremely common in Chicago, especially in neighborhoods with mature street trees and older clay or concrete pipes. Roots enter through joints and cracks, then grow and expand until they block flow entirely. It's one of the most frequent causes of recurring drain backups in established residential areas.
What's the difference between drain cleaning and a sewer line repair?
Cleaning removes whatever is blocking the pipe, restoring flow without changing the pipe itself. A repair addresses physical damage to the pipe, such as cracks, collapses, or badly offsetjoints, that will keep causing problems even after the line is cleaned.
How long does a sewer lateral replacement take in Chicago?
A straightforward lateral replacement typically takes one to two days for excavation, pipe installation, and backfill. More complex jobs involving longer runs, shared walls, or permitting delays can take longer, and you'll need to account for time to restore any concrete or pavement that was cut.
Do I need to be home during a sewer or septic service call?
For interior work or jobs requiring access to your basement cleanout, someone should be present. For exterior septic pumping or sewer work that only involves outdoor access, some providers can complete the job with just a point of contact by phone, but confirming this arrangement in advance is wise.
