"Sunday March 28, 2021 I had the pleasure of working with Aqua Doctors Plumbing at 1304 Eastview Drive Waukegan, IL 60085. At home there were two (2) small gas leaks at connection points with my furnace and the stove. They were the first to reply when I initiated the request for quotes on Saturday 3/27. They scheduled an appointment for the next day between 11-1 pm. They arrived at the beginning of the window of time they quoted (yippee). I was prepared to provide shoe covers due to the pandemic. They were respectful of safety measures and had their own shoe covers and masks in hand already. Bravo! Chris and Rob were very good at providing and explanation of services to be rendered. A consultative approach was used and appreciated. They did not talk down to you as the client/non-plumber in the room. They worked expeditiously and thoroughly resolving both issues. I also had them quote a larger job due to this good experience. I found them to be reliable and I’m sure you will too! Thank you, Aqua Doctors! Kind regards, Major J. Johnson (retired)"

"We are new homeowners and had a hole in our septic tank made of concrete block, which was sending wastewater into the foundation/basement of the home. It was my first time using Angie's List, and I would recommend Illinois Sewer and Drain to anyone. Joe and his team of experts solved our issue immediately at an affordable price. They even went above and beyond to install a sump pump in our basement to help with the rain water. Quality work!!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Slab-on-grade construction makes accessing drain lines difficult and requires extensive concrete cutting. If you have a finished basement over original cast iron drains, you will need to open ceilings or walls for repairs. Long vertical vent stacks in multi-story Barrington homes complicate rerouting fixtures. Additionally, properties with private wells and septic systems must follow strict IL setback rules, which restrict where you place new plumbing lines or home additions.

Helpful?

Functional plumbing work, like rerouting drain lines or replacing a water heater, requires a building permit and inspections from the village. Purely cosmetic updates, such as swapping a faucet, do not require permits. However, cosmetic updates in older Barrington homes reveal hidden functional issues like corroded galvanized supply lines. Discolored water points to aging iron pipes, turning a simple aesthetic fix into a necessary functional repair for your IL home.

Helpful?

You must inspect and test your sump pump before the spring thaw to handle high water tables. Winterizing your exterior plumbing and irrigation lines by October prevents severe freeze damage. Annual water heater flushing removes mineral buildup from the municipal supply. Older Barrington homes require periodic drain cleaning to clear scale from aging cast iron pipes. Finally, IL mandates annual testing for backflow prevention assemblies on all connected irrigation systems.

Helpful?

The harsh winters in Barrington create a high risk for frozen pipes in uninsulated crawl spaces and garages. You must install all exterior plumbing below the 42-inch IL frost line to prevent freeze damage. Spring thaws and heavy summer storms also increase flooding risks, making sump pumps and backflow prevention essential for your basement. Schedule underground plumbing projects outside the freezing November through March window for the best results.

Helpful?

Knowing your water source and sewer connection type is critical, as unincorporated Barrington properties rely on private wells and septic systems. Your home’s age also dictates the scope of your plumbing work. Homes built between the 1950s and 1980s feature galvanized steel or cast iron pipes prone to corrosion. Identify whether your property sits in an IL flood zone, which directly impacts the design of below-grade drains and ejector systems.
