"My old hot water heater died, and a friend installed a new small 40 gal tank. But I never had hot water after that. I also had a leaking lead pipe. Patrick came and had to be a sleuth to try to determine the cause of the missing hot water. The tank was too small and not functioning, but the real problem was a crossed pipe somewhere in my 1890 house. He found the pipe location in the basement and put in a shut off valve, which gave most of the house hot water. He also put in a high quality 50 gallon tank, and repaired the leaking lead main. To completely fix the hot water, it will mean opening walls, so we left a small 1/2 bath sink and attic sink to be fixed at a later time (or not....).. This was all around Easter, but he put in long days to get it all done."

"UPDATE: This is an update to my previous plumbing review I submitted on 8/5/17. I received a call from 4 seasons to discuss the review. The fact they reached out to me tells me they truly care about their customers. They plan to refund me some credit towards the cost of the sump pump. I appreciate they took the time to listen and to resolve this!"

"I paid them to clean my catch basin, however, was not able to clean the whole thing because of pipes on the way. I still ended up paying for the whole price. With the sewer going to the road, they could not go further because of an existing backup sewer door. I had to pay extra for them to rod from the backup sewer door to the road."

"We just bought a house on a private well and started noticing rust stains and a foul odor right away. The house came with an old softener, but it didn't seem to be working anymore. We got a few quotes for a system that would treat well water and decided to use Chicago Water Pros. Their tech was on time, very professional and knowledgeable. The price was very reasonable compared to the other quotes that we got, and they had a way better warranty and money back guarantee than anyone else by far. We bought a tank for iron treatment and a softener. The guy that came out to test our water and do the quote was there for the installation and came back out to re-test the water and make sure everything was working properly a few days after the install as well. We couldn't be happier with the water and the great service and price that we got. I'd recommend them to anyone!"

"The awesomeness started within a couple hours of purchasing my deal. Matt reached out to clarify a misprint in the deal, and assure I still wanted to go through with the deal. He was able to to schedule me at a time that worked with my busy schedule.
Darryl and Mike arrived right on time, first thing in the morning. I had originally purchased a hot water tank replacement deal. During the old tank removal, it was discovered that my ejector pump was not working. The crew was equipped to replace that at a reasonable price as well. They worked quick and professionally and had all the work completed in a timely manner. They made sure to have tarps available to protect my floors when moving the tanks in and out. The crew had such pleasant personalities, and I could tell they enjoyed what they were doing.
I highly recommend M&E Plumbing for any work you may need!!

"He was great. It was an emergency on a weekend and he got here quickly. My toilet tank in the back bathroom had cracked and when I tried to shut off the water, I realized that the valve was faulty. He was able to do the repair very quickly. They were responsive."

"I called around 7:15 a.m. expecting to get an answering machine.  I was very surprised and pleased that the business owner answered even though it was outside of normal hours.  I explained our request for a sewer line inspection with a camera, and gave her the seller's realtor's phone number so they could coordinate the appointment.  This was done immediately and relayed back to me.  The tech called me from the appointment and explained that access to the sewer was in the crawl space, not in the yard.  Because of this difficulty, the original charge quoted to me was incorrect.  I gave my permission to proceed.  After the inspection,  the tech called again with the results of the inspection, made a recommendation for the future (indicating this was not urgent), and told me I would receive an email with the receipt and his inspection report by the end of the day via email, which I did.  I was extremely impressed with AAA Walsh & Sons availability, responsiveness and communication, and I felt their pricing was extremely fair.  I will definitely make them my first call for any future plumbing service."

"Excellent job by Cesar and his assistant. They were on time (actually early ?) and explained the procedure and encouraged me to ask any questions regarding my sewer issues. Very professional and friendly and made sure the work area was cleaned up and inspected. Made me feel at ease that the sewer problem was handled correctly and professionally completed. Will definitely be using Cesar again for maintenance purposes and would recommend his services to friends and family."

FAQs for septic tank service projects in Lyons, IL

The cost to replace a septic tank is $7,350 for the average homeowner. This cost can range, however, from $470 to $22,500, depending on several factors. Your house size is a significant factor in the overall cost, but other things like material type impact the final price tag. For example, installing a new septic tank in a one-bedroom house typically costs $500 to $900, whereas installing a new septic tank in a five or six-bedroom home is generally $1,200 to $1,600.

Yes, most states require septic tank installers to have a license, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed septic tank pro could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost of septic tank repair is $1,775 for the average homeowner. However, depending on a few elements, you might pay as little as $170 or as much as $6,100. Location, repair type, and tank material all determine the final cost. For example, replacing the septic tank filter can be as little as $200 to $300. However, repairing septic lines costs more, averaging around $1,500.

A septic tank can typically last 15 to 20 years on average, though your system's lifespan will vary depending on the type of septic system and the materials used. To help increase your septic tank's lifespan, schedule routine maintenance and do not flush items like cat litter, cigarette butts, or paper towels.

Repairing or replacing a septic tank is a job best left to a professional. Your septic tank is an essential part of your home, and if installed or repaired incorrectly, it could lead to significant problems. Things like polluted water, property damage, and health risks to your family could all happen as a result of an improper septic tank repair or installation.
