🌧️ A flooded basement starts with one thing: a sump pump you never checked.

It takes 30 seconds to test yours. Pour a bucket of water in the pit. If it doesn't kick on, you've got a problem, and the next storm won't wait for you to figure it out.

📲 Call or text (217) 793-0200 before the rain does the testing for you.

Your toilet stopped flushing... so why is it still running? 🚽💧

A toilet that won’t stop running could mean the flapper isn’t sealing, the fill valve isn’t closing, or the water level is set too high.

Sometimes it’s a quick fix. Other times, the parts inside the tank have simply worn out. Either way, that constant running sound means water is still moving when it shouldn’t be.

Not sure what you’re looking at? Give Steve Ray Plumbing a call or text at (217) 793-0200. We’ll help get things flowing the way they should.

Can your sewer line be repaired without digging up the yard? In some cases, yes. Pipe relining may be an option depending on the condition of the line.
A camera inspection is the best place to start. It gives us a clear look inside the sewer line so we can determine what’s going on and what repair options make sense.

A failing septic system isn’t something you want to wait on.
On the west side of Springfield, we replaced a completely deteriorated 500-gallon concrete septic system with a new 1,000-gallon tank and pump system.
The new setup helps properly disperse wastewater through the yard and includes an alarm designed to alert the homeowner to a problem before it turns into a much bigger issue.
If your septic system is aging, failing, or giving you trouble, give us a call to talk about your options.

One slow drain might be a simple clog. Multiple slow drains can tell a very different story. 👀🚿

Knowing what to watch for can help you figure out whether the issue is isolated or somewhere deeper in the sewer line.

Not sure what your drains are trying to tell you? Steve Ray Plumbing can inspect the line and pinpoint the blockage. 🔧
