"This was my first experience with J&S Plumbing, and I was very pleased. The outside discharge pipe from my basement sump pump had developed a leak and was flooding my yard. Despite the fact that the ground was saturated, they were able to dig down, find the leak, repair it, and then did a great job putting back all the mud and grass so that it is level. I will definitely call them the next time I need a plumber."

"When I arrived home on August 31st at around 10:30 pm. I noticed water leaking from my air conditioning unit and was damaging my hard wood floor already. I immediately texted Charlie and asked him if he was available to come fix it. He replied whiting minutes and told me that he could be at my house the next day around noon. He arrived at 12:30 the next day and started working on my air conditioner. He had to cut the drainage pipes because they were clogged and were causing the water to leak. It took him about 1 hour and 30 minutes to fix it. I highly recommend Charlie's Plumbing Heating & Sewerage Service Ing. He was very professional and knowledgeable about the job. He was at my house at the promised time, although I wasn't expecting him to arrived at that time. This is the second time I hire Charlie's Plumbing Heating & Sewerage Service Ing. Thank you Cahrlie. Joe."

"The plumber that came out, Johnny, was very professional and we felt comfortable with him in our home, during this pandemic. He did the work we needed and explained everything he was doing to us. We are very happy with the work he did and would definitely call Reliance again for all of our plumbing needs."

"Daniel was very prompt-he was a little early. He did a very thorough job explaining what needed to be done. He was very polite, friendly, and informative. The price was very reasonable. The clogged drain in the bathroom sink was cleared very quickly and he found a simple solution to an additional problem with water pressure in the kitchen faucet. I would call them again and highly recommend J&D Plumbing."

"Plumb-It staff were very professional and timely. They easily identified the problems and remedied them quickly. They perform high quality work at a fair price. They also went above and beyond the norm in their job clean up. I hate when service providers leave the place a mess, so this was a very pleasant surprise. I have recommended this company to several friends, and we have all been extremely satisfied. I would definitely use them for all future plumbing needs."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Prepare for severe winter weather in IL by keeping pipe insulation on hand to prevent freezing in unheated crawl spaces. Maintain a reliable battery backup system for your sump pump to manage heavy rainfall and flood risks. Locate your main water shutoff valve near the front foundation wall and test it regularly. Keep all past permits and overhead sewer diagrams accessible for future plumbing inspections.

Helpful?

Older homes in Des Plaines built between the 1940s and 1970s are excellent candidates for plumbing upgrades. Inspect your water for discoloration, as aging galvanized steel pipes leach rust. Properties near the Des Plaines River with a history of flooding require immediate attention to repair damaged drain lines. Check local permit records to identify any unpermitted past work that needs correction before starting a new plumbing project.

Helpful?

Several structural factors complicate plumbing projects in Des Plaines properties. Homes built before 1970 feature brittle cast iron and galvanized steel pipes that require full replacement. Deep basements with overhead sewers and ejector pumps add mechanical difficulty. Exterior pipes must sit below the 42-inch IL frost line, demanding extensive excavation. You must also account for lead water service lines and combined sewer systems that demand specialized handling.

Helpful?

You will encounter several types of state-licensed experts when planning plumbing work in IL. A licensed contractor manages major projects and secures necessary city permits. Journeymen and master plumbers perform the hands-on installation. For properties with flood risks, hire certified specialists who focus on sewer lining and trenchless pipe repair. You also need dedicated backflow prevention testers to perform mandatory annual inspections on specific property devices.

Helpful?

Upgrading your plumbing directly impacts several household systems. Rerouting pipes interferes with water softeners and cold-water inlets for water heaters. In older Des Plaines homes, shutting off the water disrupts hydronic boiler heating systems. Moving electrically powered sump pumps and ejector pits requires a licensed electrician. Always inspect utility areas, as gas supply lines run dangerously close to mechanical stacks and require strict safety precautions during modifications.
