Services
Plumbing for the whole house, start to finish.
Six things we do a lot of. If yours isn't on the list, ask anyway. After 40 years there isn't much we haven't seen.
Sewer & Drain
Chicagoland's older clay and cast iron sewers take a beating from roots, settling and heavy rain. We rod and clear main lines, run a camera so you see exactly what we see, and repair or replace what actually needs it, from a single spot repair to a full sewer line replacement.
- Sewer rodding and main line clearing
- Sewer line repair and replacement
- Sewer and water service lines
- Drainage repair and seepage repair
- Storm line installation
- Camera inspections with recorded footage
Water Heaters
No hot water is not a wait-until-Monday problem. We repair what can be repaired and replace what can't, sized right for the house, vented right, and tied in with clean copper. Most replacements are done the same day.
- Hot water heater replacement
- Tank and tankless installation
- Pilot, thermocouple and element repair
- Expansion tanks and pressure relief
- Gas and water line tie-ins
- Old unit hauled away
Sump & Ejector Pumps
A dead sump pump in a spring storm is how a finished basement becomes an insurance claim. We replace sump and ejector pumps, add battery backups, and fix the pit, check valve and discharge line while we're there.
- Sump pump replacement
- Ejector pump replacement
- Battery backup systems
- Check valves and discharge lines
- Pit lids, seals and basins
- Flood control options
Water Piping & Repiping
Copper is the pipe we grew up on. Properly sweated copper lasts for generations, stays quiet, and can be repaired by any plumber with a torch. Whether it's replacing galvanized supply lines, repiping a whole house or running a new line to an addition, we do it in copper and we do it neatly.
- In-house water piping replacement
- Whole-house and partial repipes
- Galvanized steel replacement
- Water service line replacement
- Soldered joints, properly supported and insulated
- PEX available where it makes more sense for the job
Bathroom Remodeling
The plumbing is what makes or breaks a bathroom remodel. We set new tubs and shower bases, run the supply and drain for new sinks, and install the faucet fixtures you picked so they work as well as they look. We coordinate with your tile and finish crews or bring our own.
- Installation of new tubs
- New shower bases
- New sinks and vanities
- New faucet fixtures
- Toilets and shower valves
- Remodel rough-in and finish
Rough-In Plumbing
Rough-in is where a plumbing system is won or lost. We lay out supply and drain-waste-vent for new builds, additions, basement finishes and full kitchen and bath remodels, coordinate with your GC and inspector, and leave the walls ready for finish.
- New construction and additions
- Basement bathrooms and ejector pits
- Kitchen and bath remodel rough-in
- Drain-waste-vent layout and venting
- Pressure tests and inspection-ready work
- Coordination with general contractors
