Northbrook Plumbing Services
Overhead Sewer Conversions
An overhead sewer raises the point where wastewater leaves the house so sewer water is less likely to back up into the basement. Northbrook has offered a 50/50 cost-share program for overhead sanitary sewer conversions, and eligible costs have included sump pits, ejector pumps, and sewer rodding or camera work. Program terms can change, so confirm eligibility and any pre-approval requirements with the village before work begins. We can walk through the plumbing side with you. See sewer line repair and replacement.
Sump Pumps and Ejector Pumps
A sump pump handles groundwater, while an ejector pump moves wastewater from fixtures below the sewer level. We repair and replace both and talk through backup options. See sump pump repair and replacement.
Sewer Camera Inspections and Drain Cleaning
Recurring clogs or backups often have a cause in the line. We clear the blockage and can use a camera to find roots, buildup or damage. See drain cleaning.
Water Heater Repair and Replacement
We service tank and tankless water heaters and replace failing units. New installations carry a 1-year warranty. See water heater repair and replacement.
Leaks, Repiping and Fixtures
We repair leaks, replace damaged pipe sections, handle larger repiping projects, and install faucets, toilets and garbage disposals. See water leak detection and repair.
Why Northbrook Homeowners Call Us
Licensed and insured, a clear estimate before work begins, a clean job site, and a 1-year warranty on new installations. We answer calls anytime and return messages the next business morning.
