Cracked and broken sewers contribute to local pollution.

 Did you know that a cracked or broken sewer contributes to pollution in our neighborhoods and water ways?  . 

By repairing your cracked or broken sewer you will stop seepage of sewage into yards, basements, waterways and more.  You will also help the city of Chicago or Hinsdale or Downers Grove or wherever you are because when it rains the sewage treatment plants become over loaded and back-up causing overflow into basements and local rivers.   There are two problems happening at once – sewage seeping out and rain water seeping in.  Rain water is saturating the ground then seeping into the cracked & broken sewers and then when the combined storm & sewer system in the city cannot handle the large amount of water it causes raw sewage to back-up into buildings basements.  Sewer repair is now ½ the cost of traditional excavation methods.  Many villages are now being mandated by the federal government to fix their main sewers because of this type of pollution to the local rivers and streams. You may see large trucks in your neighborhoods repairing the main sewers.  The Scottish Plumber uses the same technology that the city is using on the city mains to also fix residential and commercial drain and sewer lines.  This trenchless re-lining system is ½ the cost, takes only a day or so and there is no mess left behind.  It is the future of sewer repair and most local plumbers have not upgraded their equipment or educate their employees so they continue to excavate and replace pipe at a high cost to the consumers who are unaware that a better choice exists. 

We have done many residential sewer repairs and most recently we have relined a sewer under a major intersection for a gas station owner and also a large hotel so they did not have to break up the entrance drive and completely shut down the hotel because of no sewer service.

Call the Scottish Plumber today to see if we can solve your clogged, root infested broken sewer with no mess and no fuss.  Trenchless sewer repair is ½ the cost, only takes one day and leaves not mess behind.

Cracked and Broken Sewers and Drain Lines

Sewer pipes  get backed up from root infestation, or from cracked or broken sewer lines. Old roof rain drains can leak into walls of apartments and condominiums.  The Scottish Plumber is the leader in pipe rehabilitation which can take care of these issues fast.  Pipe rehabilitation is also known as pipe re-lining, trenchless sewer repair or (CIPP) Cured In Place Pipe.  Our re-lining system has a 50 year warranty and is as strong as breaking up the floor and digging up the yard to re-pipe with new pipe. Only one access point is needed by the Scottish Plumber to install the pipe liner, usually install the lining through an interior or rooftop drain or a small access hole dug outside. Compared to old-fashioned excavation, this new re-lining system is ½ the cost of previous repair methods.  This system saves money, time and mess.         I

Chicago and its suburbs have thousands of miles of deteriorating storm and sewer pipes; it is common for cracked or broken sewer pipes to creating slab leaks and whole building backups.  During storms when Chicago’s combined system becomes over burdened with storm water the system backs up raw sewage mixed with storm water into area basements.  A similar scenario happens in the burbs where cracked sewers allow storm water to infiltrate the sewers which then overburdens the sewage treatment plants also causing raw sewage to back up into buildings basements.
