Common questions

How fast can someone get here?

Someone answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays. Tell whoever answers what is happening and they will tell you where you fall in the day's schedule.

Will I know the price before work starts?

Estimates are free. What a job costs depends on tank size, how easy the lid is to reach, and what we find once it is open. Larger work — main line installation or repair — is quoted after an on-site inspection, not over the phone. Financing is available.

Do you cover my town?

We work across DuPage, Kane, Will, Cook and Kendall counties. The service areas page lists the towns we work in regularly. If yours is not on the list, call and ask.
