Built for Split-Levels, Bi-Levels, Palos Preserve Roots, and Below-Grade Plumbing
Hickory Hills plumbing work often calls for more planning than a standard service call. The city has ranches, split-levels, bi-levels, townhomes, finished basements and lower levels, aging cast iron and clay sewer laterals, galvanized supply piping, sump pump systems, ejector pumps, and commercial spaces along 95th Street, Harlem Avenue, and Roberts Road that need clean scheduling and dependable follow-through.
Homes near Kasey Meadow Park, the Madden Athletic Complex, Lake Katherine, Palos Forest Preserve edges, 95th Street, Harlem Avenue, Roberts Road, 88th Avenue, and the rolling Tinley Moraine terrain can face root intrusion, sewer offsets, sump pump demand, ejector pump failures, stormwater pressure, and basement drain backups during heavy rain. A recurring sewer odor or slow lower-level drain is worth inspecting before it turns into a cleanup.
Restaurants, clinics, strip centers, professional suites, municipal buildings, and local commercial properties add another layer: high fixture use, public restrooms, grease-bearing drains, water heater capacity, backflow prevention, code compliance, and drain maintenance that has to be handled cleanly and quickly.
- Sewer camera inspections for older laterals, root intrusion, scaling, offsets, bellies, stormwater pressure, and recurring backups.
- Sump pump, ejector pump, battery backup, overhead sewer, backwater valve, catch basin, and storm-drain service for split-levels, bi-levels, finished basements, and lower-level bathrooms.
- Water line, lead service line, galvanized piping, shutoff valve, pressure diagnostics, and water heater support for older homes, townhomes, and commercial properties.

When Should Hickory Hills Homeowners and Businesses Call?
Call when you notice slow basement drains, gurgling toilets, sewer odors, water pooling near floor drains, ejector pump alarms, sump pump cycling, rusty water, low pressure, water heater leaks, or recurring kitchen and laundry clogs.
Because Hickory Hills properties often include below-grade plumbing, mature tree roots, older sewer laterals, sump and ejector pump systems, and stormwater exposure near preserve corridors, small symptoms are worth checking early before they affect flooring, walls, tenants, customers, or daily operations.

Common Questions From Hickory Hills Homeowners
Answers to the plumbing questions we hear most from Hickory Hills residents, property managers, and business owners.
What are the most common plumbing problems in Hickory Hills homes?
Hickory Hills’ homes—primarily ranches, bi-levels, and split-levels built between the 1950s and 1980s—use aging cast iron laterals, galvanized supply lines, and ejector pumps. We see corrosion, root intrusion from the nearby Palos preserves, and failing ejector pumps on a regular basis, especially along the rolling terrain of the Tinley Moraine.
Hickory Hills is planning a Capital Improvement Plan for water and sewer infrastructure — what does that mean for my property?
The City’s first-ever CIP for water and sewer plus a recent Service Line Material Inventory signal major public-side upgrades. When the city crews replace or rehab mains, it becomes the ideal time to evaluate your private lateral or service line so you’re not scrambling when construction reaches your street.
Why does Hickory Hills’ split-level and bi-level construction require special plumbing attention?
These homes often place laundry rooms, bathrooms, and utility spaces below the main sewer level, so ejector pumps are essential. When ejector pumps fail—after 7 to 10 years, typically—the basement pits flood. We inspect, maintain, and replace pumps to keep below-grade living spaces functioning.
Do the Palos Forest Preserves affect Hickory Hills sewer lines?
Yes. Mature hickory, oak, and cottonwood roots from the preserves extend into western Hickory Hills laterals, pushing through deteriorated joints. We often camera-inspect after clearing so we can remove roots at the source instead of just re-rodding the symptoms.
How fast can you get to Hickory Hills for a plumbing emergency?
We stage crews from our Brookfield shop at 9100 Plainfield Road—Hickory Hills is about 15–20 minutes away via Harlem or 95th Street. We dispatch immediately for burst pipes, sewer backups, or flooding so you get help before damage spreads.
Are permits required for plumbing work in Hickory Hills?
Yes. The Building Department at 708-237-4140 requires a contractor license plus a plumbing permit for work beyond simple repairs. Plumbers submit their Department of Public Health registration with the $100 annual license; we handle the permit paperwork and final inspection scheduling.
