When your sewer line isn’t working properly, everything in your plumbing system is affected. From slow drains to unpleasant odors or sewage backups, sewer issues can cause major inconvenience – and sometimes, costly property damage. Your home or business depends on a properly functioning sewer system to safely and efficiently remove wastewater, and even a small problem can quickly escalate into a big one. You need professional sewer services!
That’s where Reading & Son Plumbing has your back.
With nearly 40 years of experience serving Peoria, IL, and the surrounding 20-mile radius – and Bloomington, IL, for commercial projects – our expert team provides dependable sewer services for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re facing a stubborn clog, a cracked or collapsed sewer line, or you need a full replacement, we have the equipment, training, and experience to fix the issue fast and get your system running smoothly again.
Our sewer solutions are a key part of our comprehensive plumbing services, which also include water conditioning, water heaters, bathroom plumbing, excavation, and drain and fixture repair. No matter the size or scope of the project, we bring the same professionalism and attention to detail to every job.
At Reading Plumbing, we understand that no two sewer problems are exactly alike. Soil conditions, pipe materials, and property layouts all affect how we diagnose and repair your system. That’s why our process is built on precision, transparency, and long-term reliability.
Here’s how we make sure the job gets done right:
We begin with a thorough inspection using advanced diagnostic tools to identify the source of your sewer problem. For complex cases, we perform a video camera inspection to get a clear look inside your sewer lateral lines. This allows us to pinpoint issues such as root intrusion, cracks, or buildup – saving you from unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Once we’ve identified the issue, we walk you through exactly what’s going on. You’ll receive an honest, detailed explanation and an upfront estimate. Our goal is to make sure you understand your options before any work begins – no hidden costs, no confusing jargon, just straightforward answers from experienced professionals.
For stubborn blockages, we use our powerful Sewer Jetter trailer. With water pressure up to 3000 psi, this advanced equipment cuts through soap scum, grease, hair, and food buildup that standard snakes can’t reach. It provides a deep, thorough clean for your pipes without the need for harsh chemicals or excavation.
If structural damage is found, our team performs the necessary repair – whether that’s patching a small section or completing a full sewer line replacement. We use durable materials like PVC to replace cast-iron or clay-tile pipes. When necessary, our excavation services provide safe, efficient access to underground lines with minimal disruption to your yard or property.
After completing the repair or replacement, we perform a final system inspection to make sure everything is working exactly as it should. We also offer maintenance recommendations to help you avoid future problems – like routine drain cleaning or inspections – to protect your investment and keep your plumbing in top condition.
