Sewer Line Repair in Illinois

Of the 3,231,384 occupied homes we cover in Illinois, about 2,435,953 sit in towns whose typical home predates 1980 — laid before solvent-welded plastic became the default. We route calls in 226 towns here.

In short

Pre-1980 housing means clay, bituminized fiber or cast iron under the garden rather than plastic, and in Illinois that describes about 2,435,953 of the 3,231,384 covered homes. Only a camera survey settles which of the three is actually there.

TrenchPoint is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We do not perform excavation or repair, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

Checking a credential in Illinois

Illinois licenses are issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health, Plumbing Program, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins.

Before anybody excavates.A camera survey is a different instruction from a repair, and the order matters. Tell us what the drain is doing and we will route you to somebody who covers your area. No charge to you, ever. Anything else the plumbing is doing can be raised on that call too.
