My drain backs up when I use a large amount of water, what should I do?
Please call us (847)362-3434 between 7:00 am – 3:30 pm Monday – Friday and we will check the sanitary main for back-ups before you call your plumber. For after hour emergencies call the Police Dispatch 847-362-8310 and the Police will contact Public Works personnel. Though back-ups in the village main are rare, its better we check first. Normally if your sewer only backs-up when you use the shower or do laundry the problem is in your service. We can let you know when we check the sanitary main for blockages.
