Sewer Repair
Tree roots, cracked pipe and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
A stain spreading on the ceiling under the primary bath, a damp spot in the finished basement or a water bill that doesn't add up. We find leaks, fix them and give you a flat price before any work. From our office on Main Street.

Look for:
A leaking toilet seal, drain or supply line above.
In a finished basement, with no rain to blame.
Your habits didn't change.
Everything off, meter still turning.
From small drips to hidden leaks:
Faucets, shutoffs, supply lines and traps. See faucet repair.
Found with as little opening as possible.
Main line, basement supply lines and connections.
Most Naperville homes are about 17 to 56 years old, the age when original fittings and seals start to give out.
In two-story homes, a slow leak from a toilet seal or tub drain shows up as a ceiling stain in the room below.
Copper and fittings from the 1980s and 1990s can pinhole and wear out.
Lines in walls next to an attached garage can freeze and split, then leak when they thaw. See burst pipe repair.
Lawn sprinkler connections and spigot lines can leak inside the basement wall where you won't see them. A damp spot on the foundation wall under a spigot is worth a look.
Finding the leak is half the job.
Before opening anything.
One number before work.
We leave it tidy.

"Ty was awesome. Not only did he find the problem more accurately than previous people who came out, he fixed it same day and explained everything in detail with a great personality and an accommodating demeanor. I couldn’t be happier with the work that he did and how he did it."
"We had a difficult leaky pipe situation and things could have gone bad quickly, but Alex took care to find a solution that was the least intrusive to our home and lives. He was very kind, knowledgable and thoughtful throughout the process and we appreciate the effort he put into fixing our home!"
"Edgar Herrera was a stellar representative for J Blanton’s. He addressed the broken water pipe in an efficient, timely manner. He offered approximate next steps. Definitely 5 stars!"
Usually a toilet wax ring, a tub drain or a supply line above.
Usually a failed toilet wax ring, a leaking tub or shower drain or a supply line dripping inside the wall. We find which one before opening the ceiling.
Turn off every fixture and watch the meter.
Turn off every fixture and appliance and watch the water meter. If it keeps moving, water is going somewhere.
Usually. We pinpoint it first.
Usually. We narrow down the location first so any opening is small and in the right place.
One leak on sound pipe is a repair. Repeat leaks on aging pipe may mean replacing the section.
One leak on otherwise sound pipe is a repair. If the same run keeps springing leaks, replacing that section saves you from paying for repeat repairs. We'll explain both.
It depends on location and access. You get a flat price first.
It depends on where the leak is, how easy it is to reach and what needs replacing. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins.
