"After trying to get numerous sewer and water companies to even come out so I could explain the problem I was having, and get an estimate, I finally got a response from Lincoln Sewers.  Phil from Lincoln Sewers first came out in April 2015 and ran a camera down the sewer line.  It appeared as if the sewer line had become disconnected where it comes out of the house.  During heavy torrential rains the sewers were filling up and actually flowing back into the original somewhat of a half crock overhead sewer system that was already in my house when I bought it 12 years earlier.  The water was flowing heavily back into the sump and ejector pump pits during torrential rains.  After doing my own research on what a true overhead sewer system is, Lincoln Sewers did the new sewer system which has the main pipe going out the side of the basement wall (which is a true overhead sewer system).  Overall, everything seems to have been done well.  No leaks in the pipes, and water from the house seems to be flowing just fine out to the sewer system.  Lincoln Sewers got the permit, and the city inspector from Chicago was out to inspect their work on July 6th.  The inspector informed me the work being performed was up to code.  I'll have to wait and see how the system holds up during torrential rains, but so far everything seems good.  Overall clean-up at the end of the job by the employees was good, and pretty much everyone I've either dealt with personally or on the phone from Lincoln Sewers has been helpful and professional including, Phil, Robert, Doug, and Janet.  I had contacted multiple sewer and water companies in an attempt to get more estimates, but only one other company gave me an actual written estimate and it was almost double of what Lincoln Sewers charged me.  I would recommend Lincoln Sewers to other customers.  At this time I have no complaints about this company.

"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!!

"They do plumbing but they also have a service where they will come out and check your furnace or your sump pump or things like that. With them, I don't have a big problem. They fall into that category that when they come out it is always something big, always like an upsell. They always come to check this or maybe you have a clog or need something routed out and they say you have to replace all this. They always have something more that you can go ahead and get and sometimes that just gets, you just want to get done what you need to get done.
I would get more estimates for work, I wouldn't trust their first opinion."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on tank accessibility, size, and local rates. Regular service serves as preventive care, averting costly emergency repairs or system replacements.

If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes.

Septic tank odors can happen because of a few different issues with your septic system, such as a full tank, clogged drains, or blocked venting systems. Not only is a smelly septic tank pretty unpleasant, but it can also pose a potential hazard to yourself and your home. Toxic fumes could be hanging around, or untreated wastewater could be harming the environment.

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.

Yes, you can adjust your well pump pressure relatively easily by yourself. You’ll need to remove the cover from your pressure switch and adjust a nut that controls cut-in pressure. Learn more about how to adjust a well pump pressure switch with a step-by-step guide to setting your water pressure.
