"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."

"I can’t recommend Joe enough. He was was fast, reliable, and made sure the job was done right (fixing mistakes from a previous plumber I used). It is hard finding good contractors these days and I will be using this company for any plumbing needs in the future."

"When temperatures dropped to -50 with wind chill, the pipes to our basement bathroom sink froze. And as soon as everything began to thaw, (on Friday night) we found that we had a ruptured hot water pipe. Water was shooting out of the wall all over the bathroom. When it became clear that our usual plumber wasn't going to show up on Saturday, I frantically called half-a-dozen plumbers from Angie's List. Only Charlie got back to me and agreed to show up after his next job. On a day that he was clearly being overwhelmed with calls from all over the city, Charlie kept his word and showed up with his partner Dimitri. They quickly figured out there were no other leaks and repaired the pipe. On top of it, Charlie spotted two other unrelated plumbing issues in our HVAC room. They were minor now but could have turned into bigger problems down the road. His thoroughness and attention to detail allowed him to spot these hidden problems and save us headaches down the road. We had our water working in under an hour (on a Saturday evening!) and he charged a very fair price given the demands upon his time. He left our house at 5pm, his phone blowing up from other customers. I asked if he was going to have an end to the day soon, but he said he still had hours to go...he had promised other worried homeowners that he would help them today. THAT's the kind of dedication I want from my plumber. Call Charlie with confidence."

"When one is looking for a plumber, if you?re like me, it is possibly an urgent situation (as in in my case a sewer that was backing up.) So, to save you time, I?ll start with my bottomline opinion.  Reliance was excellent!  Alex, the owner, John, Cesar, Keith, and all the guys who worked on my home were honest, hardworking, and kind human beings.  They were also really good plumbers?. but, in my estimation the humanity that the company is seriously priceless.  It was the first time I worked with them, and I know that it won?t be the last.  They will be my first ?plumber? call.  I have them in my cell phone.
Now, to return to the beginning of my tale. I noticed an increasing amount of dirt around the sewer by my washing machine. (My laundry room is on a slab on the main floor.)  I called a different company that came out to rod the line from an interior clean out in my family room.They worked tirelessly for a day, but couldn?t get through, ended up getting their rod stuck in the line, actually had to return the next day to retrieve their equipment.  Based on their camera and detector inspection, they advised that I needed to dig down to the sewer.  Based on their staffing and scheduling, they simply didn?t have the manpower to handle it at that time, and recommended I call another company.
And that brings me to Reliance.  I called them first time in the morning.  John showed up that same day to estimate the job.  On Saturday...yes, on a weekend,  they began breaking through to the sewer. (They knew I only had a very minimal water flow and responded immediately to the urgency of the matter.  Over the next week they put in an exterior cleanout (much better for the future than my inside one) repaired the sewer that had corroded, replaced backfill and concrete, rodded to the street and then discovered that due to the roots by large evergreens they needed to power wash it, which they did the next day.  They were at my house a full week. They worked hard.  They were respectful and not only worked to fix the problem, but to make sure that I was informed and pleased with their work. I was rather distraught about the situation, and those guys made it as calming as it could be - considering I had to go elsewhere to shower, etc.  I want to add that Alex, the owner, actually came to my house several times to check on the progress and even after it was done to review the entire job.  He was a total stranger, but I would have been proud if he were my son! He was exceptionally considerate. What a nice young man.
I would be remiss if I didn?t mention that there were issues? life?s rarely perfect.  In part some things went wrong because they were starting where another company left off. In hindsight, I think they should have repeated some diagnostics to pinpoint the location of the problem. I?d suggested it, but they didn?t.  I wish I would have insisted. The result was that there was additional  jackhammering/digging in the driveway before they discovered that the break was just two feet  inside the house, instead of a few feet outside that same wall. They had to move indoors on the following days to open the floor in the slab.  But, they made good on their error, and didn?t charge for the additional work.  It was longer project, slower, but they kept going till it was done RIGHT. It was more money than initially estimated because they couldn?t have known that the roots would require the power wash.  And digging indoors is more time consuming.   
I should add that on the days they were working outdoors it was brutally cold...remember that week?  Not one man ever complained.  And on the last day when they were power washing the sewer (temp had gone up), I asked if they could wash the driveway to get rid of the dirt residue from all the digging so that I wouldn?t continue tracking it into the house.  They did and were proud of the results.
People taking pride in their work and caring about customer statisfaction is all too rare in our world today.  Want to see it?  Call these guys.  As horrible as my situation was, at the coldest point in the year, Reliance made it as positive as possible. Thanks.

"Jim & Rob handled the service. When they realized that they were running late, they called early on to let me know. They were a completely in sink team. They were efficient, knowledgable and extremely courteous. My father had owned his own plumbing company post WWII, and was one of the first licensed plumbers in the state of Illinois; accordingly, I watched & had many plumbing questions regarding the install. Jim & Rob patiently shared their expertice. High recommend. A great experience."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

To keep your plumbing vents from freezing, start by insulating your pipes with foam or fiberglass sleeves to help maintain their temperature. For an extra layer of security, use heat tape, which acts as a personal heater to keep your pipes warm even when temperatures drop. Additionally, you should regularly check your vent cap to make sure it’s free from leaves and debris that can block the airflow. A clean, unobstructed vent cap is crucial for maintaining proper ventilation that will keep your plumbing vents from freezing and the plumbing system running smoothly.

It is generally recommended to schedule a professional plumbing inspection annually, though an inspection every two years may be sufficient for newer homes. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age of your plumbing system, water quality (such as hardness), and any previous plumbing issues. More frequent checks are advisable for older homes or those with a history of problems. Additionally, if your property has mature trees with extensive root systems, more frequent inspections are beneficial as roots can crack sewer and water lines. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs, and can include checking for leaks, inspecting connections, and ensuring pipes and fixtures are in good working condition to prolong the life of your plumbing system.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

Where you drain a hot tub largely depends on local regulations, but you must not drain chemically treated water where it can damage the environment. Direct the water toward a sanitary sewer drain that will take it to a treatment facility. If your lawn has a dedicated drainage area that’s free from plants and foundations, you can likely drain it there. Avoid storm drains, as the hot tub water will enter waterways and could hurt aquatic life. Likewise, do not pour it out directly on any public land or where it can get into your neighbors’ property. 

The amount of water wasted when a toilet ghost flushes depends on the cause of the ghost flushing. Leaky flapper valves tend to waste less water than a larger problem like a damaged flush valve that makes the toilet run constantly. Even if you don’t think you’re wasting a lot of water, it’s still a problem that should be fixed quickly.
