"My experience with Charlie was great. I accidentally drilled a hole in the gas line that feeds all appliances in our home on a Saturday morning when trying to drill in to hang a TV mount. I knew enough to immediate turn the gas off and call our gas company who came out quickly and locked my meter...this meant no gas to appliances (oven, hot water, dryer, heat, etc.) until it was fixed. I jumped on Angie's list to find someone close who may be able to work weekends, called several places, and left several voicemails.
Charlie was the only one to call back and came over to check out the issue within a couple hours on a Saturday. He looked at everything, provided me with some background info on what he'd need to do, and instructed me on what I could do to make the job go quickly when he returned in the morning. Charlie and Bernie came over Sunday morning and had the pipe repaired within 2 hours max. I was able to get the work inspected that same day and have our gas turned back on.
Charlie was friendly and thorough, and educated me on what he was doing throughout his work. Any time you need "emergency" service on a weekend it's going to be expensive, but I feel that Charlie's price for more than fair for the work done and the quickness in which he came out to fix our problem.
I plan to recommend Charlie to others in our townhouse community and suggest you give him a call for your next job.

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

For basic plumbing maintenance, keep a reliable battery or water-powered backup for your sump pump to prevent basement flooding given the high water table in Burbank. Stock heavy-duty pipe insulation to protect exposed lines from extreme winter temperatures. Keep a curb stop key accessible for emergency water shut-offs at the street level, as aging interior valves fail over time. Finally, maintain a drain auger to clear minor root intrusions from older sewer laterals.

Helpful?

Build your plumbing inspection routine around the distinct IL seasons. Test your sump pump every spring before heavy rains arrive. In the summer, schedule a camera inspection to check aging sewer lines for tree root intrusion. Disconnect and drain all exterior hose bibs in the fall to prepare for freezing temperatures. During winter cold snaps, keep under-sink cabinet doors open to prevent pipes on exterior walls from freezing and bursting.

Helpful?

Your home is a strong candidate for plumbing upgrades if it was built between 1945 and 1975, as is common in Burbank. Homes from this era feature aging galvanized steel pipes that cause low water pressure and clay sewer laterals prone to root intrusion. A history of basement sewer backups also indicates an urgent need for backwater valve installation. Review your property disclosure documents to identify any documented historical defects.

Helpful?

To keep your family safe during plumbing projects in Burbank, focus on water quality and flood prevention. Homes built between the 1940s and 1970s feature lead service lines. Disturbing these pipes releases dangerous lead scale into your drinking water. Hire a licensed contractor to handle older pipes safely. Additionally, install specific filters to remove chloramine from the municipal water supply, protecting sensitive pets and children from harsh disinfectants.

Helpful?

A common mistake during plumbing work is ignoring the 42-inch IL frost depth, which leaves exterior pipes vulnerable to severe winter freezing. Homeowners also incorrectly tie sump pumps into the combined sewer system, violating local regulations. Finally, patching old galvanized pipes is a temporary fix that ignores systemic corrosion. Always secure the required municipal permits before starting work to ensure your home remains safe and compliant with local building codes.
