"We are new homeowners and had a hole in our septic tank made of concrete block, which was sending wastewater into the foundation/basement of the home. It was my first time using Angie's List, and I would recommend Illinois Sewer and Drain to anyone. Joe and his team of experts solved our issue immediately at an affordable price. They even went above and beyond to install a sump pump in our basement to help with the rain water. Quality work!!"

"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!!

"Showed up a few hours after calling,  plumber put on shoe covers to not track dirt into house.  Investigates issue with pump, to figure out problem.  He had all neccesary parts, equipmnet including pump in the truck and had the pump working in a timely mannor.  took the time to clean up.  Fernando was very friendly, curtious, and professional.

I had also used the same company when we had sewage waist back up into our basement,  they came out very quickly and and got it fixed for a resonable price.

I had an issue with the sewer line and catch basin.  I had 4 companies come out to look at my problem.  The first company had a very extreme plan that I thought was a little over kill and over priced.  The other three all had similar solutions with slightly varying prices.  I chose McDonagh based on price and they were also referred from a neighbor.  Patrick came out the first time and gave my two quotes, the first based on fixing the current issue and a second quote to fix this problem and adding extra flood measures.  After a few thoughts, I had more questions and ideas so Patrick came out again to discuss.  A few days later I called a third time with another change, Patrick responded again.  We finalized what was going to be done and the price, the next day he and Tara were digging up my basement. Josh showed up a little later and really got the digging going.   All three were nice the whole time they were here.  They were informative in what they were doing and flexible to the surprises that arose.  The project went smoothly and looks good.  Josh cleaned up nicely and worked hard the whole time.  All and all they removed all lines going to the catch basin, closing it off and filling it in.  Cleaned and camera scoped the main to make sure everything was good.  Rerouted three drains to a pit to close off any direct backing up of the main sewer line. While they were here I asked if they could reconnect a copper pipe I had to cut and they did that for me real quick without a charge."

"Brent B. showed up on time and after reviewing my existing Sump Pump situation, I decided to move ahead with the work. They were able to complete it the same day! I had researched previously and had an idea of what I wanted. Brent along with another technician completed the work, answered my questions, cleaned up, etc. Brent and Dave did a great job and will definitely use them for future jobs.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Recognizing signs of a failing septic system is crucial to prevent costly damage and health hazards. Foul odors in and around your home, slow drainage in sinks and toilets, or gurgling noises in plumbing fixtures can indicate problems with drainage. Lush, green patches of grass near the drain field or wastewater pooling on the ground are alarming signs that may indicate a leak in the system. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's vital to address them promptly to avoid more extensive and expensive issues.

Soda, coffee, and other soft drinks are highly acidic. This affects the pH in septic tanks, causing them to require more frequent pumping. However, a vast majority of people don't need to worry about septic system disruption. Pouring out the occasional flat soda doesn’t affect septic systems to the same degree as the high-volume dumping from restaurants and convenience stores.

Depending on the size and location of your septic tank repair job, you may want to let the septic pros finish before tackling other backyard work. However, in some cases, it’s not a bad idea to coordinate between your providers if the timing’s right and your septic repair pro says it’s safe to do so. For instance, if the septic repair work is happening in the fall, you might want to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare your backyard landscaping for winter , or in spring, start mulching the garden beds.

Watch for slow drainage, pooling water in the yard, or unpleasant odors inside or outside. Addressing these issues timely avoids significant disruptions or costs.

Septic tanks appear full after pumping because the liquid levels have returned to normal. If you can see the pipe, the tank is empty. However, heavy rain can cause septic tanks to fill faster than normal. You might also have leaky pipes or faucets, causing extra water to drip down the drains and into the septic tank.
