How do I know if my sewer line needs repair?
Common signs of sewer line problems include: multiple drains backing up simultaneously, sewage odors inside or outside your home, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, unusually green patches of grass in the yard, and sewage backups in the basement or lowest floor drain. If you notice any of these signs, a sewer camera inspection can identify the exact problem and location.

Sewer Line Issues Common in Cook County
Many homes in Orland Park, Palos Heights, and Oak Forest built before the 1970s have Orangeburg sewer pipes — a fiber-based material that deteriorates and collapses over time. If your home was built in this era and you are experiencing sewer backups, Orangeburg pipe failure is a likely cause. RITEPLUMBING regularly replaces Orangeburg lines with modern PVC for a permanent solution.
Tree root intrusion is another extremely common sewer problem in the southwest suburbs. Large oaks, maples, and willows send roots seeking moisture, and even small cracks in sewer joints become entry points. Once inside, roots grow rapidly and create recurring blockages. We use our sewer cameras to identify root intrusion and can clear roots with hydro jetting or cutting heads, then recommend repair options to prevent regrowth.
During spring and heavy rain events, Cook County homes with older sewer connections can experience backups when combined storm and sanitary systems become overwhelmed. We install backwater valves and sewer cleanouts to protect your home from these events.
How much does sewer line repair cost in Orland Park?
Sewer line repair costs in Orland Park depend on the type of repair needed, pipe material, depth, and length of the affected section. Camera inspection is affordable and identifies the exact issue before any digging. Trenchless methods like pipe lining often cost less than traditional excavation and cause minimal disruption to your yard. RITEPLUMBING provides free estimates and explains all options before starting work.
What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless sewer repair fixes damaged sewer lines without digging up your entire yard. Two main methods are used: pipe lining (inserting a resin-coated liner that cures inside the existing pipe) and pipe bursting (pulling a new pipe through the old one while breaking it apart). Both methods are faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective than traditional excavation. RITEPLUMBING evaluates your specific situation to recommend the best approach.
Should I get a sewer camera inspection before buying a home?
A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection is one of the smartest investments a homebuyer in Orland Park can make. Sewer line replacement can cost thousands of dollars, and a standard home inspection does not cover the sewer. For a fraction of the cost, a camera inspection reveals the condition of the sewer line, identifies potential problems like root intrusion or deteriorating pipe material, and can save you from an expensive surprise after closing.
