"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."

"I called them when my sump pumps (primary and backup) dies and I had water in my basement. Rob told me over the phone what it would cost to replace them, and said he could have someone there in two hours. I had talked to three other plumbers before I heard from RA Mechanical. NONE of them could give me a window of when their tech could come. No offers of pricing, either. A licensed, experienced, competent plumber arrived in my two-hour window. He cleared away the broken equipment, installed the new equipment, cleaned up, and was on his way. Cost was exactly the estimate. I would RA again in heartbeat. Rob and his people are first-rate."

"We are new homeowners and had a hole in our septic tank made of concrete block, which was sending wastewater into the foundation/basement of the home. It was my first time using Angie's List, and I would recommend Illinois Sewer and Drain to anyone. Joe and his team of experts solved our issue immediately at an affordable price. They even went above and beyond to install a sump pump in our basement to help with the rain water. Quality work!!"

"Mike was very prompt in responding to the project. I felt very confident that he would have done an outstanding job. However, a friend recommended a plumber who had performed the same project for them that we needed and we decided to use them. BTW, Mike's quote was less than the plumber we used."

"They had to come out twice as the first plumber they sent did not know what the problem was. They broke the concrete top covering the access hole and did not even mention it. Other than that, the work was done and we have not had any other problems"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Timeframes for plumbing projects depend heavily on permit processing and seasonal demand. Standard permits in Hillside take several days to two weeks to process. During peak seasons, like spring rainstorms or winter freezes, scheduling a non-emergency professional adds another two weeks to your start time. Projects involving municipal water mains or sewer infrastructure require extra coordination, extending the timeline further. Emergency repairs bypass standard permit waits to resolve immediate hazards quickly.

Helpful?

Older properties with original plumbing systems mix galvanized, copper, and cast iron materials, requiring complex code-compliant transitions. Full basements with below-grade fixtures demand ejector pumps or overhead sewer systems to drain properly. Mature tree roots infiltrate clay sewer laterals in Hillside, requiring extensive root removal or full lateral replacement. Finally, properties with lead service lines face strict regulatory requirements, triggering full line replacements and coordination with the local water utility.

Helpful?

Pay attention to reduced water pressure or discolored water, as these indicate internal corrosion in older galvanized steel pipes. In many post-WWII Hillside homes, a single slow drain or gurgling sound points to systemic deterioration in aging cast iron lines. Additionally, a single sewer backup strongly signals tree root intrusion in clay sewer laterals. A constantly running sump pump points directly to failing drain tile systems around your foundation.

Helpful?

Watch out for contractors who claim permits are unnecessary for significant plumbing work, like water heater replacements or sewer line modifications. Hillside requires permits and inspections for most alterations. Another major red flag is a professional who applies Chicago-specific codes instead of the required state codes. Always verify that your chosen contractor holds an active state license to ensure your home remains safe and compliant with IL regulations.

Helpful?

Severe winter cold creates significant freeze-thaw stress, requiring professionals to bury water lines below the 42-inch frost depth to prevent frozen pipes. Spring snowmelt and heavy summer rainstorms overwhelm local storm systems, causing basement sewer backups across IL. To combat this, contractors install overhead sewer conversions and backwater valves. Hot, dry summers also cause clay-heavy soils to shrink, which shifts underground pipes and accelerates joint separation in older sewer lines.
