Local Knowledge
What Naperville Homes Need From a Plumber
The median home in Naperville was built in 1990, and about 8 in 10 went up between 1970 and 2009. Those homes are now about 17 to 56 years old, and their plumbing is starting to show it.
01
Tree Roots, Naperville’s Top Sewer Problem
The City of Naperville says tree roots are the number one cause of sanitary sewer backups in town. Roots find small cracks in the line and keep growing until water can’t get past them. Homeowners maintain the line from the house to the city main, so a root problem there is yours to fix. A camera inspection shows what’s in the line, and hydro jetting clears roots out.
02
Boom-Era Homes, Original Equipment
Naperville grew fast in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, and much of that original equipment is still in service. Water heaters, sump pumps and the ejector pumps that serve basement bathrooms aren’t built to last 20 or 30 years. If yours is original, or you’re not sure how old it is, have it checked before it fails. A water heater that leaks or rumbles is often the first to go.
03
The DuPage River and Basement Water
The West Branch of the DuPage River runs right through downtown Naperville. In July 1996, a record of nearly 17 inches of rain fell in 24 hours in nearby Aurora, and both branches of the river overflowed. You don’t have to live by the river to get water in the basement, though. A sump pump with a battery backup keeps running when the power goes out, a backflow valve stops sewage from coming up through floor drains, and an overhead sewer system helps homes with repeat backups.
04
Hard Freezes and Burst Pipes
DuPage County winters bring stretches of single-digit nights. Pipes in exterior walls, unheated garages and the line that feeds your outdoor spigot freeze first, and a split pipe often starts leaking once it thaws. Know where your main shut-off valve is, and call us 24/7 if a pipe bursts.

“Excellent experience! We were fortunate to get a same day appointment. Jake contacted us within 30 mins of the initial call and arrived on time. He assessed the issue quickly, gave a fair quote and not only took care of the immediate concern but went above and beyond with tips, blowing out a tub clog and properly setting a wobbly toilet. He was friendly and professional and walked us through every step of the way.”

Yes. In Naperville, homeowners maintain the sanitary service line from the house to the city’s main sewer. Roots are the most common problem in that line, and clearing them is the homeowner’s job. A camera inspection shows exactly where the problem is and how far it is from the house.
Yes, and in Naperville they’re the most common cause of sewer backups.
Yes, and in Naperville they’re the most common cause of sewer backups. Roots grow toward moisture and slip into sewer lines through small cracks and loose joints. Early signs include slow drains, gurgling and backups in the lowest drain in the house. Hydro jetting clears roots out, and a sewer repair fixes the spot where they got in.
If it’s the original, probably yes.
If it’s the original, probably yes. Tank water heaters usually last somewhere around 8 to 12 years. Rusty water, rumbling noises, a leak at the base or hot water that runs out faster than it used to all mean it’s time to have it checked. Replacing it on your schedule is easier than dealing with a flooded basement.
Start with three things: a backflow valve on your sewer line, a sump pump with a battery backup, and a regular check of your sewer line for roots.
Start with three things: a backflow valve on your sewer line, a sump pump with a battery backup, and a regular check of your sewer line for roots. For homes with repeat backups, an overhead sewer system lifts basement wastewater above the level where backups happen. We can look at your setup and tell you which option makes sense for your home.
