Sewer Repair
Tree roots, cracked pipe and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
When water is pouring into your home at night or on a holiday, you need a plumber who answers. Our phone line is open 24/7, and our office on Main Street in downtown Naperville keeps our plumbers close, from the historic streets downtown to the subdivisions out by Route 59.

If waiting means more damage or a safety risk, call:
Through the floor drain, a basement toilet or the tub.
Shut off the main and call.
The pit is filling and the rain keeps coming.
A leaking tank won't fix itself.
Get out and call Nicor Gas or 911 from outside. We'll repair it once it's safe.
A ceiling stain that's growing or a meter that won't stop.
Most emergency calls our Naperville office takes fall into three groups.
Roots are the number one cause of sewer backups in Naperville, and they often choose a holiday weekend. Sewage backup service stops it and shows you the cause.
Many Naperville homes have rooms over attached garages, and the pipes in those floors freeze first. See burst pipe repair.
Heavy rain fills sump pits and sewer lines at the same time. A sump pump with a battery backup keeps the basement dry when the power goes out.
In homes from the building boom, water heaters are often on their third replacement. When a tank lets go, it can put dozens of gallons on the basement floor. See water heater repair.
When you call, a plumber shows up, not a salesperson.
Nights, weekends and holidays. When water is coming in, you talk to someone who can send a plumber.
We find the problem first, then give you a flat-rate price before any work begins.
We explain what's wrong and what your options are in plain English, so you can decide calmly.

"So it's Christmas Eve and my sewer is backed up. J. Blanton did not hesitate or cancel my appointment. George and Mike were excellent! They were not rushed, answered all my questions. Very knowledgeable and honest, which goes a long way especially as a first time home owner."
"Super helpfull. They called back on a Sunday late afternoon and came out that evening. 3 plumbers came to the house on Monday to finish the job. Joe, George and Anthony. Highly recommend them. No one wants to have Sewage backing up, they treated it like an emergency and kept at it."
"Josh Reid came by on Saturday night around 8pm to help us with an emergency plumbing issue. He was beyond friendly and very honest with us. He was able to help us route our line to stop the back flow that was occurring in the house. I could tell he really cared about our situation and didn't seem annoyed at all considering it was Saturday night."

Stop the water at the nearest valve or the main. For gas, get out first.
Close the valve nearest the problem or shut off the main. Keep people and pets away from sewage. For a gas smell, leave and call Nicor Gas or 911 from outside.
Usually in the basement near the meter. Turn it clockwise.
In most Naperville homes, the main shutoff is in the basement where the water line comes through the foundation, near the meter. Turn it clockwise, and test it once a year.
