"Sink in the kitchen was clogged, I had ( past tense) a home warranty service that dispatched a plumber to my location. He never showed, contacted them again and they sent out another plumber. This guy showed up and was totally useless. That plumber said he would stop back by on Wednesday, the first home visit was on Friday. On Monday he called me back and canceled our appointment and said he would call me when he could make it. I put in a request here on this site for service this was Tuesday night. Wednesday morning Best Price Sewer and Plumbing called. 2 hours from that call the clog was cleared. Nate was/ is very professional, knows what he is doing. 5 Stars all the way."

Customers say: Quality work

"I was hesitant to begin such a big project because I worried especially about related plumbing and electrical issues. However, Jeff does it all, does it very well, and apparently does it better than our builder did. We no longer get scalded when someone flushes while we're showering, for example. Aesthetically, this was definitely an "Oooh and Aaah" result., admired by all who see it. My husband's family are all artists and tough customers to please, but Jeff's work impressed even them. On a personal note, my granddaughter, my dog, my husband, and I enjoyed having Jeff in our house. He is always professional and reliable but very personable as well."

"My bathroom was from 50 years ago, original to the house, I have a walk in ranch with concrete floors and radiant heat. The workmen did a fantastic job of taring down and remove the old cast iron tub, removed all the walls to expose the plumbing. I had to have a new drain installed and that needed the expertise of plumbers, after the new drain was installed in the concrete they came back and within one day the job was completed and it turned out fantastic. I am very very pleased with the work that Bath Plant did. I highly recommend them to anyone who would ask me."

"I had Ken and his crew come out in Dec. 2019 to install a new shower and replace two sink faucets in our primary bathroom. They did a great job. We did need a little warranty work done recently and they sent out a service technician who did what we asked courteously and professionally. I love a company that stands behind their work and Prime Baths in Coal City does just that. Will use them again as needed for sure."

I compared them with one other company who seemed to be not only more expensive but offered an alternative that wouldn't work in the wrong long. They did a good job, they were not cheap but they were right around the ballpark. Good and reliable.

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

Locate and test your main interior water shutoff valve to stop emergencies quickly. Avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners, as they damage older cast iron pipes. Instead, use a plunger for minor clogs. Protect your plumbing by insulating exposed pipes before cold Crete winters arrive. Test your sump pump by pouring water into the pit before spring rains.

Helpful?

Permit inspections require multiple sessions, as officials must approve the plumbing before you close your walls. Coordinating a municipal water shutoff or scheduling a separate septic inspection also extends timelines. In IL, winter freezes and heavy rain make clay soil difficult to excavate for exterior work. Discovering deteriorated clay or galvanized pipes requires additional visits.

Helpful?

Homes built on concrete slabs require extensive cutting to access underground plumbing. Finished basements conceal drain lines behind walls and ceilings, demanding extra restoration work. Expansive clay soils throughout Crete shift foundations, causing cracked sewer laterals and offset pipes. Additionally, unheated crawl spaces create severe freeze risks and limit physical access for essential repairs.

Helpful?

Reject quotes that skip securing a local permit, as significant plumbing requires one. Always avoid contractors lacking a verifiable state license. A professional must clearly understand Crete municipal water connection protocols and local septic regulations. Furthermore, contractors should explicitly account for replacing the older galvanized or cast iron pipes found in many mid-century homes.

Helpful?

Delaying plumbing repairs increases the risk of frozen and burst pipes during harsh IL winters. Ignoring cracked sewer lines allows dense clay soil and tree roots to infiltrate and collapse the pipes. Postponing sump pump maintenance leads to flooded basements during spring snowmelts. Unaddressed slow leaks cause extensive structural damage and mold growth behind finished walls.
