"What a great experience, which is truly unusual in these times of all fluff and less service. First, the salesman, Joe Stegeman, was excellent. He was prepared, courteous, seemed to understand right away what we wanted and stepped us through the process. The fact that he could also schedule the installation right there at our dining room table surprised and impressed me. I will admit I was skeptical, and expected a phone call that would delay or reschedule. That was not the case. The plumber, I believe Ryan, showed up at 7 a.m. and was very professional. Within an hour he had roughed in the plumbing and was ready to leave. Right at that time, Joe the installer showed up in the driveway and was ready to start. He was very pleasant, professional, and made to sure put down drop cloths the entire pathway to the bathroom. (By the way, unnecessary in a household with 3 dogs who bring everything in.) He was very quick and actually had to wait for the County inspector about 45 minutes until Joe could continue with the installation. Joe was terrific. He told us what he was doing and was very accommodating with our questions. Heâ s patient with old people who are inquisitive (and I admit nervous) about whatâ s happening. When he was done, all was cleaned up and he explained everything about the care of the bathtub and materials, and the plumbing areas. Please give a shout-out or potential bonus to Joe. We thought he was great, and a wonderful employee and representative for your company. Keep him happy and around!"

"I had called everyone that might help me fix my dishwasher...pumped the septic, snaked the main sewer line, called appliance repair, replaced the heating element, verified that the drain hose went from high to low; my dishwasher was still back flowing scrud onto my clean dishes at random times. Signed up with Neli, and had the answer to my problem in 15 minutes. James F gave me the part number for replacement and wa-laa, I’m waiting for it to come in the mail. I am very impressed and will use this service again as needed."

"The salesman (Mike Delguyd) and all three gentlemen who did the work to stop the end of our home from sinking due to recent heavy rains were personable, efficient and knowledgeable. Anthony Wethington, James Sizemore and CJ returned all our possessions which had to be removed to do the work and carefully removed and cleared all their equipment. We are most grateful to them for their efficient and capable work."

"Provider was prompt, professional and friendly.  Arrived at the agreed upon time for a free estimate and performed work same-day after we agreed to the price.  He stuck to the price despite taking longer than expected and more work than usual due to worn-rusted pipes in my home.  Cleaned-up after himself and left no sign that work was done other than our new, working toilets.  We are very pleased and reccomend McDonagh & Sons Plumbing & Sewer Inc.

"Very professional...both the owner and crew. Careful and meticulous work. Replaced some wood trim that was damaged; moved the heavy furniture...painted a 2-story stairway. Good clean-up each day. And good follow-up on punch list items. Halfway through the project we decided we wanted some additional items painted (powder room and 2 closets...and they fit it into the schedule and the added charge was very reasonable.

What impressed me most was the owner caught some issues that I had missed in punch list items. Increased my confidence in his ability to do a good job. He cares about the quality of his and his crew's work.

"Rardins has merged with Mattex Plumbing, but Oscar Rardin is still with them. Very professional, both over the phone and kept me updated through texts on the phone. Showed up as promised and was done within 3 hours. Only real difference was in how prices have inflated since 2014 (last time pump was replaced) $1400 vs $500 The pump accounted for over $1200 of that total. Oscar did a excellent job!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Build your seasonal plumbing routine around local weather changes. In the spring, inspect your basement and crawl spaces for moisture intrusion caused by melting snow. During the summer, test your sump pump to handle heavy IL storms. In the fall, winterize outdoor spigots and check pipe insulation before the first hard freeze hits. Throughout the winter, monitor your drains for slow movement and keep your main shutoff valve accessible.

Helpful?

After finishing plumbing work in Effingham, schedule a final inspection to close out your building permit. Next, flush your pipes thoroughly to clear out any hard water mineral debris dislodged during the repair. If you complete exterior or crawl space work in the fall, verify that all pipes are fully insulated before freezing weather arrives. Finally, check underground lines in the spring, as local clay soils shift during freeze-thaw cycles.

Helpful?

For plumbing projects in Effingham, prioritize corrosion-resistant materials. The local groundwater is hard, which accelerates scale buildup and damages older galvanized steel pipes. You also need frost-resistant materials that handle freeze-thaw cycles, as winter temperatures regularly drop below zero. Ensure all supplies meet IL state building codes. A licensed professional will select durable, code-compliant pipes that withstand both heavy mineral content and freezing conditions.

Helpful?

Watch out for contractors who discourage pulling permits, as unpermitted plumbing work creates major liability issues. Another red flag is a professional lacking proper state credentials or liability insurance. You should also avoid quotes that ignore local conditions. A knowledgeable contractor in Effingham will always factor hard water conditions and shifting clay soils into their material recommendations and project timelines. Always verify active licensure before accepting any proposal.

Helpful?

Older properties in Effingham feature original galvanized steel pipes and clay sewer lines, which complicate plumbing upgrades due to severe mineral scaling and root intrusion. Additionally, homes built on slab-on-grade foundations make under-floor pipe access extremely difficult. Vented crawl spaces require specialized insulation to prevent freezing, while heavy clay soils constantly expand and contract, putting intense pressure on underground pipes and basement wall entries.
