"I had a serious problem with my pipes making loud noises; there was leaky pipe as well as leaky radiators.  Charles Gross was so friendly and personable that I was impressed and strongly felt that he would be an excellent choice to
correct my issues as well as service my boiler. I was correct. He did me a great service in which I cannot thank him
enough.  I will recommend him to anybodythat needs plumbing service as well as use him in the future for all my
plumbing needs.  I will be placing his information of my refrigerator for future use. 
Thank You Charlie Gross.

"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."

"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."

"We are new homeowners and had a hole in our septic tank made of concrete block, which was sending wastewater into the foundation/basement of the home. It was my first time using Angie's List, and I would recommend Illinois Sewer and Drain to anyone. Joe and his team of experts solved our issue immediately at an affordable price. They even went above and beyond to install a sump pump in our basement to help with the rain water. Quality work!!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

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.

PEX pipe is safe for drinking water, though it wasn't always. PEX was introduced in European water supply systems in the 1980s, but early versions of the piping deteriorated when exposed to the higher chlorine levels in U.S. water supplies. Antioxidants were added to PEX piping to meet U.S. potable drinking water standards. Today, it’s commonly used for drinking water.

No, you don’t need plumbing experience to install a faucet, but it can certainly help. As long as you have the right tools and materials, kitchen faucet installation is a manageable DIY project for people with the skills and patience to complete it.

You can try a few things to figure out where a water leak is coming from. Check all of your appliances and fixtures, make sure the water pressure is normal on your faucets, and look for signs of water damage. Some signs of a leaky pipe include water stains on ceilings and walls, paint or wallpaper that starts bubbling, a musty smell, or visible signs of mold.

There are several signs that can indicate you have air in your pipes, including unusual noises coming from the pipes, like banging and whistling, and inconsistent water flow and pressure. Spitting from the faucet right when you turn the water on is another indication that you might have air in the pipes.
