The technician seemed to do what he could to find the source of the problem in one refrigerator, but was not able to find it. In the other refrigerator, he cleaned out the drain line, which worked for about a week but was clogged again, and I wonder if there was not more to be fixed than just the drainage line cleaned out. I have to call someone out again to look at them.

His diagnosis was quick, but he said the tub needed to be drained to do the work. He brought in a pump that emptied the tub in 20-30 minutes. He had appropriate parts on his truck, and repaired the leak in about one hour. The charge was $170. After several days I refilled the tub, and within days had more water leaking. I phoned Eric and made a date for him to come back in a week or so. Again he diagnosed the leak fairly quickly. It was a second leak - not a repeat of the one he had fixed. He again pumped the water out of the tub, got the needed parts from his truck and fixed the leak. The charge was $180. I waited three or four days, refilled the tub, and again within a few days had water leaking. I phoned Eric who agreed to return on an upcoming vacation day I had planned. This was a third leak and not a repeat of the two noted above. This one took some time to find, but Eric knows what he is doing and went through the process of identifying the location of the leak. Again, he drained the tub and repaired this difficult to reach leak. The charge was $340. He was honest enough to explain to me that the leaks were happening because of the way the PVC unions were made by the manufacturer of the tub. The tub was built in 1997 and perhaps at that time they did not use a primer on connections like they do today. He advised me to not put any more money into the tub if further leaks develop. I agree with his advice. I would recommend Swanson's to anyone needing repair service for their spa. Eric has been doing this work for 30 years and does a good job."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/mundelein/swanson%27s-home-leisure-products-reviews-321890.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"SPA DOCTORS INC.","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Betty M."},"reviewBody":"I phoned Spa Doctors hoping to get quick service on my leaking indoor hot tub. I was told there would be a $105 service call charge for them to come out. I took an afternoon off to accommodate the visit. They sent a gentleman to diagnose the problem, and he did seem to find the leak. He felt there was a hairline crack in a PVC nut connecting to one of the pumps. He took pictures with his cell phone and e-mailed them to someone at the company. He said this was so they could get the parts needed for the repair. He said I would have to drain the tub so the repair could be done. I drained the tub down to below all of the jets. This man had no parts on his truck or access to the company's parts. I was told I would get a call back that night. I received no call. I waited two days then called them and asked when they would return to fix the leak. I was told they would return on Saturday. The same gentleman returned and attempted to fix the leak by tightening the PVC nut. Whether the nut was cracked to begin with I'll never know, but I did watch him tighten and tighten the nut until it cracked and the water started to pour out. We spent the next hour and a half vacuuming and mopping up water. I received no call to make a date for the next service visit. After a few days I again called Spa Doctors and was told they were coming out that night. The original tech along with a second tech arrived. They looked at the problem and determined that they did not have the correct parts. They asked if they could return the next day, which was a Saturday. I agreed. Roughly an hour and a half after they service time, I received a call from the second technician apologizing that he could not do the work that day because he could not find the special tool he needed. He agreed to come out on Sunday morning. The two arrived on time on Sunday and did finally complete the job. They apologized and said they would not charge me for parts. While everyone I spoke with from Spa Doctors was polite enough, I think this was a very bad experience with people who did not know what they were doing. To send technicians to a job with no parts - or access to parts and collect $105 to take pictures with a cell phone seems ridiculous to me. When I hire a service company, I expect them to send trained, capable people to perform the service. To fix a leak which was easily accessible took four service visits."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/wheeling/spa-doctors-inc-reviews-409662.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"R T REPAIRS","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa W."},"reviewBody":"One of our service trucks was not starting due to the recent cold weather we had in January.

FAQs for french drain service projects in Kingston, IL
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
