First time septic tank owner here. After realizing my septic alarm had been on "silent" since…read moremoving in, I called another local company. This company came out quick but proceeded to ghost me for two weeks regarding the installation of my air pump. After that long of a wait, I decided to call R & L after seeing them at my neighbors house. I explained I needed a new air pump. I unfortunately can't remember who exactly I spoke to, but they were honest and told me it was an easy fix and that I could do it myself to save money. They told me the exact pump I needed and where to get it from. I had the pump in less than 48 hours from the dealer and install took less than ten minutes. It was as easy as they said it would be. R&L saved me about $150 with their honesty and also did mention I could call or text with any questions. I will definitely use them in the future for any problems that may arise.

If you need septic service these guys are second to none. I will be recommending R&L Septic to everyone.

I had these folks out in mid to late April 2014 because my recently purchased home had a blockage…read moresomewhere in the sewer line. They came out and cleared it for the agreed upon price of $160. There was no mention of a warranty period on the work. On May 20th, I again had a blockage and called them back three times. I gave my address on the phone message but they never called me back. It turns out the problem was tree roots blocking the line and I ended up paying Roto Rooter $1700 (reduced from $2000) to dig up and replace much of the line. I didn't mind so much the expense because it had to be done. But I didn't like the fact that Illini Septic and Sewer ignored my calls. They still haven't contacted me. I wouldn't recommend them to my enemies.

Unethical upselling practices! I scheduled them for furnace…read moreand plumbing to fix a pipe that busted and leaked when our furnace failed. We recently closed on our home and haven't even moved in yet. When two workers came for the furnace and found water, they cancelled themselves AND THE PLUMBER, refusing to help pump out the water unless I signed a contract for $7-14K in repairs right then. They wasted valuable time knowing that an upcoming severe freeze warning could cause further damage to my home. I immediately scheduled on line to have them come and pump out the water and there was same day availability. They cancelled my service call because I hadn't signed the contract, which they never even sent out. They were greedily trying to upsell me when I was under pressure and cost me valuable time. That's unethical and it made them lose my business.
