"The plumber was very professional and came off as a nice, honest person. The price was reasonable, and my sense is that they are an honest company not trying to take advantage of my relative lack of plumbing knowledge."

"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."

"Joe and his crew are always professional and very helpful with all my plumbing issues..  They are very detailed oriented and will take the time to show pictures of what they did to maintain or fix the problems.  I like that I can rely on them to show up when I call.  This is my 3rd time working with Flo Maxx and I will continue to do so for many years.  They definitely have my business.

"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."

"I had Andrey of SAV Plumbing come in to install new water shut off valves and 2 new faucets. He is a very knowledgeable plumber, he communicated well, arrived on time and was very professional. He worked quickly, explained what he was doing, was neat, and his prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of plumbing work."

"The plumber that came out, Johnny, was very professional and we felt comfortable with him in our home, during this pandemic. He did the work we needed and explained everything he was doing to us. We are very happy with the work he did and would definitely call Reliance again for all of our plumbing needs."

"We had several estimates from various plumbers for a somewhat complex job at our house. J & D were the only ones to correctly diagnose the problem and resolved it in one night. Not only did we completely trust them but they were total professionals in their work as well. I will also add that they were very affordable, which goes back to honesty/trust. We will use them for any future plumbing needs and will certainly recommend them to anyone else in need of competent and reliable plumbers."

"Great. They cleared the clog in a professional manner. They were able to get out the same day I called. The plumber and his assistant answered all our questions and explained our problem and how they were fixing it They also explained what we could do to minimize the same problem in the future. They were the best and we will hire them again for plumbing problems."

"We have been using Patrick's services since 2016 in our properties as well a relative's property. He has fixed things like unclogging a drain to major sewer repairs. Patrick is always available when we call and his prices are reasonable. He is very reliable and trustworthy, has the best prices compare to other plumbers and has diagnosed problems other plumbers have missed. I cannot say enough about this company. Definitely recommend and will continue using as well."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Homeowners often overlook the strict permit application timelines and inspection scheduling delays required for plumbing. You are entirely responsible for the sewer lateral line connecting your house to the municipal main. Winter weather in IL creates significant scheduling hurdles, as the ground freezes past the required 42-inch frost depth. Plan your exterior excavation work for warmer months to avoid extensive delays and ensure your property remains safe and functional.

Helpful?

Reject any quote that claims permits are unnecessary for plumbing. A reputable contractor will always secure the required permits and provide proof of general liability insurance. Watch out for professionals who ignore the condition of your sewer lateral or fail to account for sump pump configurations. Ensure the proposal explicitly references compliance with the IL plumbing code to protect your home from dangerous, substandard installation work.

Helpful?

Heavy clay soils throughout Northbrook retain moisture and exert intense pressure on buried pipes, making excavation slow and labor-intensive. The region's deep 42-inch frost line requires contractors to bury water supply lines significantly deeper than in warmer climates. Finished basements add severe complexity to plumbing, requiring extensive demolition and patching to access concealed pipes. Properties with older lead service lines mandate strict replacement protocols to ensure safe drinking water.

Helpful?

Your Northbrook property is an excellent candidate for plumbing if it features modern copper supply lines and PVC drain pipes. Open, unfinished basements allow contractors to inspect and access pipes without tearing down drywall. Homes connected to municipal water systems offer straightforward upgrades. Watch out for large mature trees near your sewer line, as their roots aggressively invade older pipes and create extensive damage requiring immediate professional intervention.

Helpful?

Older Northbrook homes built between the 1920s and 1970s feature cast iron drain lines and galvanized steel supply pipes that complicate plumbing. Full basements require breaking and pouring concrete to access buried drain lines. If you own a multi-story home, expect contractors to open walls on several levels to reach plumbing stacks. Check your property for clay tile sewer laterals, as these are highly susceptible to tree root intrusion.
