Sewer Repair In Addison, IL
As Chicago’s #1 plumber, Quality Plumbing was called to clear out the sewer. At first, it seemed like a straightforward job thanks to the outside clean-out installed 5 years prior. After a failed attempt to rod the sewer upstream from the clean-out, it was discovered that the previous repair had failed. Improper couplings had been used, the sewer pipe was not correctly bedded, and the same soil was used to backfill the trench, including the old pipe. This caused the pipe to drop and the coupling stretched below the pipe allowing roots to grow into the sewer.
Prior To Work

First, the yard was marked so Quality Plumbing knew exactly where the issue was. This prevents unnecessary digging and disturbance of your yard.
Failed Sewer Pipe Repair


As you can see from the picture above, the old pipe and cleanout had sunk down into the ground. This caused the improper coupling to stretch, allowing roots to grow into the sewer pipe and ultimately clog it.
New Sewer Pipe

Brand new PVC pipe was put in its place, along with the proper couplers with reinforced clamps. This type of coupling will prevent plants from growing into the sewer pipe and keep its integrity for years to come.
New Sewer Bedding

So that the pipe was supported properly, guaranteeing that it will last for this Addison, IL homeowner, proper bedding of stone was filled in below the pipe. If soil was used again, it may collapse in the future after being exposed to water.
Completed Job

Once the trench had been filled back in, the job was complete. As you can see by the photo above, there was minimal disturbance to this client’s yard.
