I needed someone to repair the shower so we wouldn't have the problem again and cause more damage to the ceiling. The plumbers unclogged the drain and recommended Dallia to repair the shower. In the meantime I had another repair company provide an estimate. To keep the story short, the man explained how he thought the water must be escaping from the shower and leaking into the drywall. He told me about all the repairs he could make including re-caulking all around the shower etc. etc. When I asked him what would happen if this didn't fix the problem, he told me there are no guarantees on what caused the problem and we'd start all over if that didn't solve it. This made me a little leery so I had Dallia come in. Mike told me his number one rule is you don't do anything until you know what the problem is. That was reassuring! He explained why the standing water might have caused a one-time leak and explained one plumbing option I could use to make sure, or he said doing nothing would probably be just fine. I appreciated his honesty in helping me avoid a bunch of unnecessary costs. If we ever need any similar service in the future, we will be sure to call Dallia!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/skokie/dallia-floor-and-wall-co-reviews-78828.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Stephens Plumbing","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Richard B."},"reviewBody":"He came and showed my wife how to clean out the drain herself to avoid future visits.

After a number of phone calls and the cancellation of a second job that was to be done, the owner came out to see what we wanted done. Eventually they came to do the repair.

French Drain Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Hanover Park, IL
The gentleman who had been two weeks with the company rodded one line in the utility room for about an hour. I repeatedly asked him if it was fixed; is it fixed? He said it was fixed. The next day I flushed the toilet and the drain overflowed from the Utility Room into the garage. I paid an...

Ken came right on time. He immediately assessed the problem and fixed it. He was here for about a half hour. We have had Ken here before and he has always been prompt and effective. They replaced my drain pipes a couple of years ago and it has been fine ever since. Would highly recommend him....

"Installation went very well, but at the end I noticed the floor anchors are sticking out too much and the caps are not covering them. After I asked the installer if he can trim it, he said he doesn’t have hand saw and cannot use his power saw to do it. He told me I will have to buy my own saw and cut it myself. That defeats the purpose of hiring and paying for a professional to do their job!"

"Why 5 stars? First the Arrowhead rep I met with was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. He made many trips to my house to review plans and bring paver samples. He provided a competitive bid with another "affordable contractor" and was much less than another "expensive" contractor bid. He provided some very good input to improve on my original patio design. Arrowhead used 4x8 plywood sheets to protect my lawn as they brought their heavy equipment in and out. The patio foundation was a full 12 inches of 3 different sized gravel stones. I observed quality craftsmanship during the installation, especially with all the curves in my design. Meticulous work. The finished patio looks amazing. The crew power washed everything upon completion. They also brought in sod to replace some damaged areas in the immediate patio area that resulted from the digging. I also paid for landscaping stone to fill in around my walk and pool. It looks great. I highly recommend Arrowhead Pavers."

French Drains questions, answered by experts
To keep your toilet from clogging, you can use less toilet paper. You can also use a liquid toilet plunger to break up any clogs and keep the toilet drain and pipes clear. When it comes to a clogged toilet, the best route is prevention by using less toilet paper and making sure the mechanisms are all working properly.
DIY plunging or drain cleaning chemicals may help minor clogs, but professional hydro jetting ensures long-term solutions.
If your dishwasher keeps filling with water at the bottom but doesn’t fill into the sink, the issue is likely due to a blockage within the dishwasher or drain. Regularly clean your dishwasher filter basket to ensure it’s not clogged with food, and run a vinegar rinse periodically if you have hard water to remove limescale buildup.
No, some window wells aren’t connected to drainage systems and instead are partially filled with gravel or crushed stone. In that case, water entering the well will drip down through the stone and disperse into the soil below. Window well drains might be required in areas with heavy rainfall or expansive soil—the lack of them could lead to foundation damage without a proper drainage system.
You can drain a hot tub very quickly by using a submersible pump rather than the hose-sized drain at the bottom exterior of the tub. A pump can move up to 30 gallons per minute, draining your hot tub in no time. Using the regular drain can take up to two hours.
