"They responded to my inquiry quickly, arrived when they said they would, lived up to the quote they gave me, and did a professional job. Can't really ask for more from a contractor. Might not be the cheapest around, but you get what you pay for. I would hire them again if I need additional plumbing work done."
"They were able to respond immediately to take care of my issue. From the time I put my request in until the time of completion was less than 1 1/2 hours. Their team was professional and friendly. I will definitely hire them again if I have any other plumbing issues."
"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."
"I have been using Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for years. I have had Jim Smith come to my house to do work a few times. Jim is the best...he is very professional, courteous, and he knows his business. Jim is an asset to the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Company."
"Your paying for efficiency and quality work. Advanced plumbing costs is something to consider for older homes. The work and materials are solid. Good communication."
"The company's response time was amazing. They came out the next day as requested, they would have come out the same day. A previous company looked at the pipes in my house and said "they were shot". Jose came out and within 1.5 hours had 3 different drains rooted out. I compared many different companies and this company was by far the most reasonable. I will use them for any sewer and plumbing needs. I'm so excited to find them!!"
"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."
"Prime Bath was amazing to work with. They installed and accessible shower for my moms house. Fair pricing, clean, respectful to my 90 year old parent, and they did it in one day! And they took no short cuts. Stripped everything down to the studs and installed new plumbing too. I’m an architect and approved of everything they did. Great job prime bath!"
"After 40 years of marriage and raising a family in this home, my husband and I finally decided it was time to give our bathroom the update it deserved. The team was just as impressive. They showed up on time, worked carefully, and treated our home with real respect. The workmanship is impeccable — smooth tile, perfect lines, and fixtures that feel sturdy and well-installed. You can tell this bathroom was built with care. Century City Baths gave us a beautiful bathroom that honors the home — and the life — we built together. I couldn’t be happier with the result."
"From Start to finish, it was the best experience. I was worried about about the project because of passed experiences. But House Doctors quickly put my worries to rest. The Sales team was open and honest from start to finish. Eric and his team were on time clean and did a great job with the shower. Highly recommend House Doctors"
Plumbing remodels typically require permits to ensure all work complies with local building codes and regulations, helping to maintain public and environmental safety.
According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.
Plumbing installation can take a few days to a week, depending on the size and scope of the remodel and the coordination with other trades.
Whether you hire a plumber to replace an outdoor spigot depends on how handy and confident you are with your DIY capabilities. Local plumbers will be familiar with your area’s plumbing codes, and while replacing a spigot looks simple, it can be a deceptively complex task. Ultimately, hiring a professional will ensure you get the job done right the first time and avoid any problems down the road.
Although air in your water lines won’t affect the overall quality of your water, it will lead to problems with your well water system if not addressed. Over time, too much air in your water lines can create blockages in your pipes, cause insufficient water flow to your taps and appliances, loosen pipes, and potentially damage important components of your well including your well pump and pressure tank.
