"I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Danny! He is literally the BEST and has helped us with multiple plumbing jobs over the years. From snaking drains, fixing toilet leaks, troubleshooting issues, and helping us keep our Airbnb properties in perfect condition, he has been absolutely incredible every single time. Danny is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, honest, and truly knows what he’s doing. When an issue comes up, especially with a rental property where timing is everything, it gives us so much peace of mind knowing we can call someone we completely trust to get the job done right. It is so hard to find someone who genuinely cares about their work and the people they’re helping, and Danny is truly one of a kind. We are beyond grateful for everything he has done for us and our properties and would recommend him over and over again to anyone needing a plumber. 10/10 — you will not be disappointed!"

"It went extremely well. The company sent out a plumber within 30 minutes to diagnose the issue. The hot water heater wasn't connected to the piping and water was gushing out instead of draining into the piping. It was a simple fix and the plumber came in and didn't charge for the 5 minute fix. I was so thankful. I would definitely recommend and use them again."

"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"Jeff and his son, Matt, did an outstanding job updating my bathroom. Their workmanship was of the highest quality and, if you believe that details are important, then be advised that not one was overlooked or left undone. Jeff also alerted me to several problems with the merchandise I ordered, rather than just trying to make due. He sincerely puts the interests of his customer ahead of his own. When my budget allows, I plan on rehiring Jeff and Matt for my next project."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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?

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.
