"Rick Ray Plumbing is the best in town! They saved me thousands of dollars on my project. They’re fast and efficient. They’re reasonably priced. They treat your plumbing like it’s their own. They go over and beyond to give you great service. They put an AVV in under my kitchen sink and all the gurgling is GONE! I’m so happy I found these guys! They’re honest, friendly and trustworthy. No job is too large or small. They will get it done and done right. They stand by their work. They leave your area clean and picked up. I would never call anyone else for my plumbing issues.

"We are pleased with our bath remodel that included a new tub, tub surround and wainscot walls. There was one small problem with the walls due to the ceiling and walls not being plumb however they did go above and beyond by doing more than was was agreed upon by making plumbing improvements, installing a new lighted medicine cabinet and repairing a light fixture. They were very courteous and the installer even made a suggestion for a change that we agreed would be better."

"Wonderful service and job well done! Don and his team were, professional, polite, and the work ethic and efficiency of the Sure Dry team are remarkable. We have a split level home with below ground rooms. When it rains really hard, there was ground water seepage downstairs. A sump pump with a battery backup was installed under the interior stairs with drainage added all around each room. The price of the job was very reasonable, and we would hire Don and the Sure Dry team again without hesitation. Deb W. in Mt. Zion, IL"

"We have been using Tiger Plumbing Services for years and knew they would be reachable, as well as reliable. Every time we call they are always on time and able to do the work right then and there. The technician was very friendly and able to fix the problem while he was there. Because of them we didn't have to deal with the problem during the holidays. We are always very pleased with there work and plan on using them for any of our plumbing needs. Great job!

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.

Water backing up in your bathtub could be a clog in the bathtub drain, but it could also signal a problem somewhere else in your plumbing system. Blocked vent pipes caused by leaves, bird nests, or other debris,  along with blocked sewer lines that are damaged or have tree roots could cause backups in various fixtures. 

If you notice water coming out of the bottom of your tank or the flush handle, you obviously have a leaking tank. Water on the side of the tank can indicate cracks. Other signs include the toilet running and flushing without anyone touching the handle, needing to jiggle the handle to make the water stop after flushing, or needing to hold the handle down to empty the water tank.

Plumbing installation can take a few days to a week, depending on the size and scope of the remodel and the coordination with other trades.

Yes, a water leak poses a major fire risk at your home because water is a conductor of electricity. Water that comes into contact with sparks or electrical wires can instantly ignite flammable materials. Additionally, any type of exposure to water can cause wires and other electrical components within your home to corrode. When assessing categories of water damage, it's important to know that even a small amount of moisture near wiring could cause sparks that lead to a fire.
