"Dan responded immediately to my repair request and was at my home within two hours. He quoted me a much more affordable price than the other 8 plumbers I had already contacted. Dan was very professional and informative. The job was done with an obvious high level of expertise, cleanly and in a very timely manner. I would recommend this company as your first choice in any plumbing situation. Very pleased with the work and the experience."

"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."

"The technician arrived within a half hour of our initial call. Although he did not have the part on hand he made a quick trip to their service center and returned immediately with what he needed. The technician was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. I feel it's also worth mentioning that the technician is also a combat veteran who served multiple tours overseas and is in the process of becoming a licensed plumber. I think it says a lot about a company who hires veterans. I'll never call anyone but Regional Plumbing and Heating for the types of services they provide."

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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?

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?

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.
