Septic and Sewer Help Across Lake Forest

First, the coverage. Outsideserious Septic connects homeowners in Lake Forest and the Lake Forest area with independent septic and sewer providers. Coverage can vary by provider, so the match depends on where your home is.

What the area has in common

This part of Illinois has real seasons. Winters are cold, and frost can run deep. Summers are hot and humid. Severe thunderstorms and hail come through, and spring flooding can soak the ground.

Those swings matter for septic and sewer systems. Here is why:

• Deep frost can shift or crack buried pipes.
• Saturated soil can slow a drainfield.
• Heavy rain can overload a system and push water toward the basement.
• Many homes are older frame houses, bungalows and ranch homes with full basements and sump pumps. Their lines may be many decades old.

Protect the property by acting on small signs early. Slow drains, gurgling and damp patches in the yard are worth checking.
