"They cleaned out catch basin, repaired it (one of the bricks fell out) and tuckpointed it. Also scoped my sewer line. My home was built in 1910. Able was very responsive and professional. Their competitors never even returned my phone calls. I’d definitely hire them again."

"Nick and Gus installed a hot water tank. They were amazing - so thorough and professional. They explained the process involved and went above and beyond checking to make sure all faucets and tub were working properly after shutting off the water. Also, they took the time to explain to me how to understand the way my battery operated sump pump works with technology. Fantastic workers!"

"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."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Upgrading your plumbing directly impacts several other household systems in Kankakee. Replacing metal pipes with modern materials breaks older electrical grounding paths, creating a severe safety hazard. Excavating sewer lines shifts the local clay soil, threatening your foundation stability. Additionally, replacing a water heater requires coordinating shared HVAC venting. Always hire a local professional to manage these overlapping systems safely and ensure your home remains fully protected.

Helpful?

Functional plumbing involves pipe replacements and emergency repairs that demand official permits and immediate attention during freezing Kankakee winters. Conversely, cosmetic updates like swapping fixtures skip the permit process and happen during off-peak seasons. However, opening walls for aesthetic upgrades in older IL homes exposes hidden functional hazards like corroded valves or asbestos. Budget for these underlying structural repairs whenever you start a cosmetic renovation.

Helpful?

As homes age in Kankakee, plumbing systems demand distinct updates based on the era of construction. Pre-1950s properties feature galvanized pipes that corrode from local hard water. Homes built between 1950 and 1970 contain copper lines reaching the end of their lifespan and clay sewer lines prone to root intrusion. The harsh IL winter freeze-thaw cycle accelerates joint stress across all older pipes. Hire a licensed professional to inspect your aging pipes.

Helpful?

A closed permit with a passed inspection proves your plumbing project meets strict IL safety standards. Thorough contractors provide documented pressure tests to confirm all supply line joints remain secure. For sewer line replacements, a clear camera inspection report guarantees the crew eliminated all tree root intrusions. Furthermore, certified specialists install materials specifically rated to withstand Kankakee’s chloramine-treated water. Always request these documents before finalizing your project.

Helpful?

The sewer lateral connecting your home to the municipal main requires frequent plumbing attention due to tree root intrusion and Kankakee’s flat terrain. Exterior hose bibs and uninsulated basement supply lines suffer severe freeze damage during harsh IL winters. Additionally, pre-1986 properties face elevated risks of failing lead water service lines. Inspect these vulnerable areas annually and hire a licensed contractor to replace deteriorating components immediately.
