"Great service! They were able to come next day and communicated clearly about the schedule to keep me up to date on when to expect them. They workers (Cam & Andre) called to let me know they were about to arrive, wore shoe covers, quickly assessed the problem, fixed the problem (rodding our drain), and were on their way. They were friendly and professional."

"My experience with Charlie was great. I accidentally drilled a hole in the gas line that feeds all appliances in our home on a Saturday morning when trying to drill in to hang a TV mount. I knew enough to immediate turn the gas off and call our gas company who came out quickly and locked my meter...this meant no gas to appliances (oven, hot water, dryer, heat, etc.) until it was fixed. I jumped on Angie's list to find someone close who may be able to work weekends, called several places, and left several voicemails.
Charlie was the only one to call back and came over to check out the issue within a couple hours on a Saturday. He looked at everything, provided me with some background info on what he'd need to do, and instructed me on what I could do to make the job go quickly when he returned in the morning. Charlie and Bernie came over Sunday morning and had the pipe repaired within 2 hours max. I was able to get the work inspected that same day and have our gas turned back on.
Charlie was friendly and thorough, and educated me on what he was doing throughout his work. Any time you need "emergency" service on a weekend it's going to be expensive, but I feel that Charlie's price for more than fair for the work done and the quickness in which he came out to fix our problem.
I plan to recommend Charlie to others in our townhouse community and suggest you give him a call for your next job.

"Came out in very cold weather and worked on my busted sewer line, I watched him do the work and think he did the job quickly and correctly. I had a similar problem with a different sewer line two years ago and he was quicker and less expensive than the last plumber."

"It went extremely well. The company sent out a plumber within 30 minutes to diagnose the issue. The hot water heater wasn't connected to the piping and water was gushing out instead of draining into the piping. It was a simple fix and the plumber came in and didn't charge for the 5 minute fix. I was so thankful. I would definitely recommend and use them again."

"The tech that came in in was named Tony and was very thorough in explaining the issue. I had a previous company come in and basically tried to con my family and I into spending 10 k to repair the issue while explaining the issue in plumber lingo without being clear on the issue. Tony not only was able to show us the issue but gave me a severely lower estimate on the fox and even fixed the issue for the temporarily to get through the winter which is something the other company neglected to do. I highly recommend using this company."

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

Upgrading plumbing in Steger reveals deteriorated pipes like galvanized steel or lead service lines hidden behind walls. You will face unexpected expenses if your project requires excavating below the 42-inch frost line or adding a backwater valve to prevent combined sewer backups. Always account for permit fees and camera inspections for older clay sewer laterals to keep your project compliant.

Helpful?

Avoid contractors who skip pulling permits or fail to verify their state license. A reliable Steger professional will always include a camera inspection for older clay sewer lines and address the 42-inch frost depth for exterior work. Reject quotes that ignore the area’s flood risks or fail to recommend backwater valves to protect your basement from heavy rain events.

Helpful?

Older IL homes are excellent candidates for plumbing upgrades. Properties built before 1960 feature outdated galvanized or cast iron pipes that require replacement. Homes with a history of basement flooding or reduced water pressure also benefit greatly from modern updates. Fortunately, the full basements common in this area provide easy access for professionals to inspect and update your system.

Helpful?

Recurring basement backups and systemic slow drains indicate failing sewer laterals that require immediate replacement. In older IL homes, brown water or visible green corrosion at pipe joints points to improperly mixed metals or deteriorating galvanized lines. Check for missing permit records at the local building department, as uninspected work fails to meet code and demands professional correction.

Helpful?

The longevity of plumbing in Steger relies on climate readiness and proper materials. Professionals must bury exterior lines below the 42-inch frost depth and insulate pipes to withstand severe freeze-thaw cycles. Upgrading older clay sewer laterals to durable PVC prevents root intrusion and shifting in heavy clay soils. Always maintain your backwater valve to protect your home from severe weather.
