Overhead Sewers

Bill's Plumbing & Sewer has expertly and honestly served Northbrook for over 30 years. Specializing in causes and prevention of sewer backup, we offer sewer installations and maintenance.

An overhead sewer relies on gravity to keep city backup from entering the house. The overhead sewer system diverts sewage from plumbing fixtures on the first and higher floors to a new sewer line run above the basement floor. This line is connected, either in the basement or outside the foundation, to the original sewer as it leaves the building.

This is the standard in new construction projects today for a reason. Bill's Plumbing & Sewer uses ductile iron pipes in all foundation penetrations.

The old sewer system is sealed. Any drainage from the basement level is directed to a basin and pumped into the overhead sewer line.

This system is the most effective. Power outages will render basement pumps inoperable. Upstairs plumbing fixtures may still be used. Only basement fixtures cannot be used, unless battery backup or a generator is used. Our overhead sewers carry Bill's Plumbing & Sewer's guarantee of no flooding and no gimmicks.

Our number-one goal at Bill's Plumbing & Sewer is the satisfaction of our customers. Our prompt response, premium-quality products, and professional workmanship will give you peace of mind.
