Complete Sewer & Plumbing Repair Services
From emergency drain clearing to full sewer line replacement — we handle every stage of the job under one roof.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting
Heavy-duty mechanical augering and hydro-jet clearing to blast through grease, roots, mineral buildup, and debris — restoring full drain capacity and preventing future backups.
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Camera inspections identify cracks, root intrusions, and collapses in your sewer line. We perform targeted spot repairs or full line replacements using durable PVC and approved materials.
Ejector Pump Repair & Replacement
A failed ejector pump quickly leads to sewage overflow in basements. Our licensed plumbers diagnose the cause and restore your pump system — or install a new unit — on the same visit.
Burst & Frozen Pipe Repair
Sudden pipe failures flood basements and damage walls fast. We arrive equipped to stop the leak, repair or replace the damaged section, and begin structural drying — all in a single mobilization.

Sewer Backup & Plumbing Repair — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions homeowners ask most after a sewer backup or drain emergency.
Sewer backups in the Chicago metro are most commonly caused by tree root intrusion into aging clay or cast-iron sewer lines, grease and debris buildup over time, collapsed or cracked sewer pipes due to soil shifting and freeze-thaw cycles, or municipal system surges during heavy rain events — which are common in DuPage and Cook counties. An Alta technician can perform a sewer camera inspection to identify the exact cause and recommend the most cost-effective repair.
Coverage varies by policy. Many standard homeowner's policies exclude sewer backup unless a specific sewer backup rider or water backup endorsement is added. If coverage exists, Alta can bill your insurer directly and provide full Xactimate documentation. We recommend calling us first — we'll assess the damage and help determine what your policy may cover before you file.
For emergency calls within DuPage County and the immediate Chicago suburbs, our average dispatch time is 60 minutes or less. We maintain on-call crews 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends and major holidays. Call us at (630) 461-9229 or use the form at the top of this page to request an immediate response.
Yes — raw sewage is classified as Category 3 (black water) contamination, containing harmful bacteria such as E. coli, hepatitis A, and other pathogens. You should avoid contact with affected areas and keep children and pets away until a professional team has completed cleanup and sanitization. Alta uses EPA-registered disinfectants and proper containment protocols to safely restore your home.
Yes — this is one of our key differentiators. Unlike a plumber who leaves after fixing the pipe, Alta provides a complete restoration service: emergency plumbing repair, sewage extraction, structural drying, drywall repair, flooring replacement, and full reconstruction if needed. Having one licensed contractor manage the entire project reduces cost, eliminates scheduling conflicts, and ensures consistent quality from start to finish.
1. Stop using all water fixtures — toilets, sinks, and washing machines — to prevent additional backup. 2. Do not attempt to clean up raw sewage yourself. 3. Vacate the affected area and restrict access for household members. 4. Call Alta immediately at (630) 461-9229. Our dispatch team will guide you through any safe precautionary steps while we're en route. Time is critical — every hour of delay increases contamination spread and structural damage.
