They replaced our 70 year old clay pipes than ran from under our 4 ft crawlspace all the way out through the front yard and out to the town sewer system. About 50 feet. We had torn out old shrubs 10 years ago, but the roots still kept growing. After the yearly routing of the roots growing between clay pipes over the years, the pipes finally caved in and no router equipment could clear the debris. These guys came out and saved the day. Over 2 weeks, Steve and his crew dug an 8 ft deep trench starting in the tight crawlspace and replaced everything with modern piping. The town inspector required a copy of our property plat survey, which we had handy, so the permits came fast as well. Afterward, other than the mounded soil which will flatten out, these guys cleaned up so well, and replaced our crawlspace seal coverage which had to be cut, you can hardly tell they were there.

The Village of Villa Park called me today and asked the height of the sewer clean out to be raised two inches. After calling the Suburban Sewer Experts, they were able to schedule the work for the next day. I really appreciated there quick response.

Would definitely recommend and I will definitely be calling them in the future regarding any other repair I may need. When They left I was a happy customer Thanks Suburban sewer experts.

Anthony J

Suburban Sewer Experts helped me replace my sump pump. They were very nice courteous, informative and they got the job done quickly and efficiently. Very professional! Since they had to cut through some foam sealant to do the job, they went and got a replacement can and replaced the foam when they were done replacing my sump pump. Above and beyond- not many would have done that part. Highly recommend!

Linda C.

I was very happy with the quality of the work. Mike's men were easy to work with. I would recommend their company to any one for any sewer repairs!

Tom C.

5 stars! Plumber expert Mike quickly assessed the problem source of my basement drain that recently backed up, and rodded out my plugged sewer line. Very professional and knowledgeable regarding their craft. Very happy with the service I received and would certainly use them again.

Ed C.

I live in an older house with a disaster of a catch basin. I had several vendors come by to check it out and only two actually wanted to bid. One vendor wanted to dig up my yard and fully replace the entire system and suburban Experts was the only one who knew they could not only repair but optimize the system. These guys showed up quickly, worked tirelessly and absolutely went the extra mile to make sure my system was not only working now but will work long into the future. I hope I never see them again! But I recommend that you call these guys first with any issue with your plumbing or sewer. I couldn’t be happier.

Brian B.

Happy Customer

Good work, didn't take long to get the job done

Janet B.

Satisfied Client!

Mike came ready to work. He is very knowledgeable and forthright. In addition to diagnosing the problem I called him for, he took a look around the house and found a catastrophe in the making. When his team returned to fix it, they took every effort to try and save money with the repair. Since they clearly take pride in their work, they urged me (without pressure) to not go with a simple repurpose. I know what you're thinking, but I'm no sucker. I watched everything they did and was right alongside them and saw that the cheaper route wasn't the way to go. Mike brings knowledge and a likability that inspire confidence in the service he and his team provide.

Jay K.

Randy S.

Satisfied Customer

Important to me is that they came when I wanted them at my house not when they could make it out to me, day and time was up to me a real PLUS !

Johnny F.

Happy Customer

I had been rodding out my two main outdoor drain lines for more than 15 years by myself. The most recent time I hit clay on the drain from my kitchen so I called Will from Suburban. He was patient, professional and courteous. Gave me an estimate to repair the pipe and cleanout and did not charge me for his attempt to rod out the line. The final work was done quickly and cleanly and they explained everything along the way. Great Service! I got two other estimates that were way out of line with what these guys charged me.

Katerina P.

Satisfied Customer

This was a very pleasant experience for someone like me not used to hiring a contractor for a particular job. Mike and Dave of Suburban sewer experts were able do the job in a very acceptable manner. It was timely, affordable and correctly done. They were even able to advise me on other things that were important to my home. I really appreciate how they were able to make room and get to me the same day.

Sewer Backflow: Causes and Solutions

Suburban Sewer Experts takes pride in your water purity and safety. Our team of professionals are experts in backflow prevention services, installation, testing, and repair. We realize that maintaining compliant systems and your water free from contaminants is of the utmost importance. With our professional services, you can relax knowing that your water supply is protected.

When it comes to the maintenance and protection of our properties, one aspect that often gets overlooked is backflow prevention for sewers. While this may not be the most exciting topic, the price of not taking care of this valuable service is very hurtful and damaging.

Backflow in sewers happens when wastewater is backed up and flows into a building plumbing system. This can be caused by an interference in the normal flow of sewerage, which causes backing up into sinks, toilets, and other fixtures. The primary reasons for sewer backflow are heavy rain, clogged drains, or a failure in the sewer system.

The effects of sewer backflow are harsh. Not only does it cause unclean conditions and foul smells, but also causes damage to properties and health risks to the residents. The filthy water may contain bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can cause people to become sick and infected.

Causes of Sewer Backflow

There are several factors that can contribute to sewer backflow. It is essential to be aware of these causes to implement preventive measures and minimize the risk of backflow incidents. Some common causes include:

Blockages: Obstructions in the sewer lines, such as tree roots, debris, fats, oils, and grease, can cause blockages that restrict the flow of wastewater. When the pressure builds up, it can lead to backflow.

Heavy Rainfall: During heavy rain events, the level of water in the sewer system can rise rapidly. If the capacity of the sewer pipes is exceeded, backflow can occur.

Sewer Line Damage: Cracked, collapsed, or damaged sewer lines can create opportunities for wastewater to escape and flow back into buildings or onto the streets.

Sewer System Design: Inadequate design of sewer systems, including improper slope or pipe sizes, can contribute to backflow problems.

Sewer System Overload: When the sewer system experiences a high volume of wastewater due to factors like population growth or new developments, it can overwhelm the capacity of the system, leading to backflow.

Safeguarding Chicago Area Communities: The Role of Sewer Backflow Prevention

Backflow prevention is central to the protection of homes and occupants from the dangerous action of sewer backup. Backflow prevention devices are installed and maintained by our services in order to prevent wastewater from entering a property’s plumbing system.

Backflow preventer devices are located at strategic points around the plumbing system, such as where the sewer pipe connects to the property or in specific fixtures. They work on the basis that they allow water and waste to pass out of the property while no reverse flow is able to occur. Check valves, backwater valves, and air gaps are some of the most common types of backflow prevention devices.

Guard Your Property with Expert Sewage Backflow Solutions

Through our sewer backflow prevention services, property owners can gain a number of benefits:

Avoiding Property Damage: A sewer backup can result in costly structural damage to a property, which can necessitate costly repair and remodeling. With Suburban Sewer Experts, property owners can avoid water damage, mold, and other structural damages.

Guarding Health and Safety: Sewage backup-contaminated water poses a significant threat to health. Sewer backflow prevention services ensure safe occupants, preventing the spread of disease and ensuring their general safety.

Obeying Regulations: Building regulations and certain jurisdictions require backflow prevention devices. Engaging sewer backflow prevention services ensures compliance with regulations to prevent legal actions.

Prevention of Disruptions: Backups in sewers can interfere with daily activities and routines. Property owners can ensure prevention of backflow and thus prevent disruptions in the form of cut-off water supply, foul odors, and emergency work.

Long-Term Cost Savings: Even though the initial outlay in sewer backflow prevention services seems to be considerable, it is overshadowed by what might be the expense of damage to property and restoration from a sewer backup. By way of preventing such, property owners save in the long run.

Supplying Safe Water: The Vital Role of Professional Backflow Prevention in Illinois

While some homeowners may attempt to handle backflow prevention themselves, calling Suburban Sewer Experts is the best option. Our certified technicians have the training, expertise, and equipment to offer proper installation and ongoing maintenance of backflow prevention devices.

Our professional sewer backflow prevention services can provide:

Assessment and Recommendations: Our experts can analyze a property’s specific plumbing system to determine the most efficient backflow prevention measures. They can recommend the most appropriate devices and installation points, depending on the property’s specific needs.

Proper Installation: Our qualified technicians have the training and experience to install backflow prevention devices correctly. Backflow prevention devices will not work if they are not installed correctly, which defeats the purpose and exposes the property to sewer backup risks.

Ongoing Maintenance: Regular maintenance is required to ensure the continued effectiveness of backflow prevention devices. Suburban Sewer Experts can provide regular inspection, repair, and replacement as needed.

Compliance with Regulations: Our professional technicians are thoroughly familiar with the local ordinances governing sewer backflow prevention. Property owners can assure compliance and avoid any legal issues by engaging our services.

Professional Sewer Backflow Valve Installation: Safeguard Your Property Against Costly Damages

Suburban Sewer Experts specialize in providing the very best backflow valve installation services for safeguarding your property against sewer backflows. Through our professional services and commitment to customer satisfaction, we strive to give the best to your sewer system.

Why Do You Need a Sewer Backflow Valve?

A sewer backflow valve, also called a check valve or backwater valve, is an essential component of your home’s plumbing system. Its main function is to prevent sewage from flowing back into your home in the event of a backup or heavy rainstorm. By blocking wastewater from traveling in the opposite direction, toward your property, a backflow valve can help eliminate the risk of water damage, sewage contamination, and costly repairs due to sewer backups.

Without a properly installed and maintained backflow valve, your property is at risk for the following:

Structural and foundation damage to your property
Clean water supply contamination
Health hazards from contact with sewage
Expensive cleanup and restoration costs
Disruption of business operations for commercial properties

The installation of a sewer backflow valve is a smart investment in your property’s protection and the prevention of future disasters. Our experienced staff possess the proficiency and understanding to analyze your specific needs and provide you with a custom-made solution to the best standards in the industry.

Key Benefits of Sewer Backflow Valve Installation to Prevent Water Damage

Installation of sewer backflow valves has some benefits for both homeowner and business property owners. Some key benefits are discussed below:

Protection from Sewage Backups: The primary purpose of a backflow valve is to protect from sewage backups inside your house. It is a one-way valve that allows wastewater to flow out but prevents it from entering your pipes in reverse. This is a valuable safeguard in heavy precipitation zones, plugged sewer lines, or surcharged municipal sewers.

Cost Savings: With sewer backup prevention, an installation of backflow valves can cost you lots of money spent in cleanup and repair of damage caused by sewage overflow. It also protects against potential health and safety hazards resulting from contaminated water invading your premise.

Increased Property Value: Sewer backflow valve installation indicates potential buyers or renters that your property is adequately protected from sewage backups. The added security can increase the value and appeal of the property in the marketplace.

Peace of Mind: Knowing that your property is safe from sewer backups, you are assured peace of mind. You can enjoy a worry-free environment even during heavy rainfalls or sewer system malfunctions in your area.

Water damage can prove to be disastrous to residential and commercial property, with costly and time-consuming repairs. Often underappreciated as a cause of water damage is sewer backflow, or wastewater backing up into a building instead of flowing away from it. Excessive rain or sewer system overflows are causes of such an event.

Fortunately, there is one way to prevent sewer backflow water damage – installing sewer backflow valves. Sewer backflow valves are installed in the sewer line and will close automatically in case of wastewater reverse flow. They act as a seal against sewage infiltration into a building and subsequent damage.
