What should I do if I need emergency sewer line replacement now?

Emergency sewer line replacement should start with an immediate camera inspection to confirm the failure and select the least invasive fix. Most urgent sewer failures are true blockages from a structural break, so verifying the exact spot prevents unnecessary digging. A real clog and a broken pipe can look the same at a floor drain; the camera tells us where to repair or replace so we do not open the wrong area. Our underground team can often solve severe failures with trenchless methods, and many cases are handled trenchlessly. We handle urgent calls across this part of Illinois, including the Roberts area.

  • Stop all water use and avoid flushing or running appliances that drain.
  • Do not dig or attempt repairs; utilities must be located and documented first.
  • Clear access to the cleanout, basement drains, and yard entry points.
  • Gather any prior videos or reports to speed decisions on repair vs replacement.

If sewage is backing up indoors, close off the area and call for 24/7 emergency service right away.
