Plumbing in Homer Glen works a little differently
Homer Glen doesn’t run its own water and sewer system. In the parts of the village with mains, water and sanitary sewer service come from Illinois American Water, a private utility. Some homes, especially on larger lots, are on private septic systems instead. That split decides who you call first.
- Problem in the street or at the main: that’s the utility’s side. Call Illinois American Water.
- Problem between the main and your house, or inside it: the sewer lateral, the water service line and everything indoors belong to the homeowner. That’s a plumber’s job.
- On septic: slow drains everywhere at once can point to a full tank or a saturated drain field. Septic pumping is usually done by a septic company; indoor drains and pumps are plumbing work.
The ground matters too. Clay soil and a high water table after heavy rain or snowmelt push water toward basements, which is why so many homes here depend on a sump pump. Mature trees send roots into sewer line joints, which is the most common reason main lines back up.
How it works
- Call or send a request with a short description of the problem.
- Say whether it’s urgent: water spreading, no water, or a sewer backup gets flagged.
- A licensed local plumber contacts you to confirm details, price the visit and schedule.

Common questions
Is Homer Glen water and sewer run by the village?
In most of the village, no. Where mains exist, Illinois American Water provides water and sanitary sewer service. The village’s Water & Sewer Service page lists the current details. Some homes use private septic.
Who pays for a sewer backup?
If the blockage is in the utility’s main, the utility handles it. If it’s in your lateral (the pipe from your house to the main), it’s the homeowner’s repair. A camera inspection shows which side the problem is on.
Do you work on septic systems?
Septic tank pumping and drain field work are usually handled by septic contractors. A plumber can clear indoor drains, service ejector and sump pumps, and help diagnose whether a problem is in the house or the system.
How fast can someone come out?
It depends on the day and the plumber’s schedule. Water that’s actively spreading, no water at all, or sewage coming up a drain are treated as urgent.
