"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."

"I had a wonderful experience with MidAmerica Basement Systems & highly recommend them if your having any waterproofing needs. My project: I purchased my home 3.5 years ago & it started getting water in the basement last year after the outside drainage & tiling system put in my previous owners failed miserably. It would literally be full days of pumping water out of multiple locations in my basement. There were issues of moisture even with two dehumidifiers running & subfloors the crew took out & cleaned up after as well. Scheduling: They will schedule a ways out for appointments but only because it's a high demand working system. Others may be able to offer services quicker but there is likely a reason they are not busy. I got several bids in the time I waited for my MidAmerica Basement Systems appointment & encourage you to as well but definitely wait until after your appointment to make a decision. They were not the cheapest but had the best guarantee (100%), best working system, and a few things I've learned in my 20 years of homeownership is if you go cheap & need to redo it your typically spending more than if you did it right the first time & your home is not something to skimp on or take chances. MidAmerica Basement Systems will send you detailed emails as to what you can expect for each appointment. They will mail you a packet of information regarding different systems that work vs fail & throughly explain the dangers & hazards water/moisture in your home will cause. Our basement got so bad from the Derecho the only dry place was in our basement was the shower & my celing developed black mold quickly from the moisture. Not only did they offer a system to waterproof my basement but a whole house dehumidifier & air purifier which would have saved my ceiling if I had earlier. Sales: I had Justin A for sales & he was very thorough in listening to my problems & needs as well as took his time in explaining & showing me how they could fix my issues, how the system works, as well as answering all of my questions with detail & no hurry. He was absolutely great about changes I made in adding work later on (before my appointment) as well. He doesn't make it feel like a sales pitch, is not pushy at all, & really works to get you the most work in your budget (prep & finish work offered), as well as taking his time with you through the entire process. The office crew: The office staff was very polite & helpful. I mostly worked with Desiree S & Kim B who are extremely responsive in working with me. The Crew: My crew consisted of Brandon T, Sam G, & Ethan T who I highly recommend! These young men are the exact type you want on your project! They are polite, respectful, hard working, efficient, trust worthy & have a great work ethic! They not only got the job done in the time allotted but left my basement incredibly clean which I didn't expect. They thoroughly go over the work before & after as well as answer any questions you have along the way & explain in detail any changes if something isn't to plan before just doing something differently. They called before heading to my house as well which I thought was very courteous. I imagine they have a lot of great workers but anyone I know that I send their way, I'll have them ask for these men as the crew on their home. Overall: Overall I give them 5 stars & they earned it all the way. I will say it's winter so not when one typically gets water in their basement so I am unable to review how the system works fairly. I do, however, plan to leave another review after we get some lovely wet Iowa spring weather or melting of our snow mountains to test it out. I don't expect my review to change & feel confident in the upcoming months & years. Thank you MidAmerica Base..."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

In Peru, older housing stock frequently features plumbing intertwined with outdated electrical wiring and cast iron drains. Disturbing these pipes easily destabilizes adjacent systems. Additionally, forced-air heating often shares tight mechanical spaces with water heaters. Because many homes sit on crawl spaces, plumbing work in these areas exposes pipes to freezing temperatures while risking damage to nearby electrical conduits. Always inspect surrounding utilities before starting any work.

Helpful?

Discolored water and reduced fixture pressure strongly indicate system-wide galvanized pipe deterioration rather than an isolated leak. In Illinois, harsh winters cause micro-fractures in pipes, leading to intermittent drips and unexplained ceiling stains after cold snaps. Furthermore, slow drains and sewage odors signal serious root intrusion in your sewer lateral. Address these warning signs immediately through a professional inspection to prevent full lateral collapse or severe water damage.

Helpful?

Always secure necessary permits from the city to ensure compliance with the current IL plumbing code. Locate and test your main shut-off valve, as older valves frequently corrode and fail. If your project involves exterior excavation in Peru, state law mandates calling the utility locating service at least two days before digging begins. Finally, schedule exterior work before late fall to avoid battling deeply frozen ground.

Helpful?

Maintain appropriately sized pipe insulation sleeves and rated heat tape to protect vulnerable crawl space runs during severe IL winters. Keep a cleanout plug wrench accessible to handle root intrusion emergencies quickly. Because older Peru homes feature mixed pipe materials, stock compatible transition fittings for immediate repairs. Additionally, keep a dedicated valve wrench near your main shut-off to stop water flow instantly during a sudden pipe burst.

Helpful?

Updating older systems significantly boosts buyer confidence and prevents inspection-driven price reductions in the Peru real estate market. Replacing aging galvanized pipes, updating water heaters, and installing compliant sewer laterals make your home highly appealing. For properties near the river floodplain, a documented and fully functional backup sump pump system serves as a major selling point. Keep all permitted work records to provide positive disclosures during resale.
