"The people on the phone and the workers that worked at my house were fantastic. Damien and Ernest were the installer's top rate people. Jack, their license plumber was polite and funny. The only person we didn't care for was Keith He only stopped by to look at what was going on. He was a little rude to my wife and Made her feel Like she was second class in her own home. We Were very shocked by that. We would definitely recommend Jacuzzi to our friends."

"What a great experience, which is truly unusual in these times of all fluff and less service. First, the salesman, Joe Stegeman, was excellent. He was prepared, courteous, seemed to understand right away what we wanted and stepped us through the process. The fact that he could also schedule the installation right there at our dining room table surprised and impressed me. I will admit I was skeptical, and expected a phone call that would delay or reschedule. That was not the case. The plumber, I believe Ryan, showed up at 7 a.m. and was very professional. Within an hour he had roughed in the plumbing and was ready to leave. Right at that time, Joe the installer showed up in the driveway and was ready to start. He was very pleasant, professional, and made to sure put down drop cloths the entire pathway to the bathroom. (By the way, unnecessary in a household with 3 dogs who bring everything in.) He was very quick and actually had to wait for the County inspector about 45 minutes until Joe could continue with the installation. Joe was terrific. He told us what he was doing and was very accommodating with our questions. Heâ s patient with old people who are inquisitive (and I admit nervous) about whatâ s happening. When he was done, all was cleaned up and he explained everything about the care of the bathtub and materials, and the plumbing areas. Please give a shout-out or potential bonus to Joe. We thought he was great, and a wonderful employee and representative for your company. Keep him happy and around!"

"I held off renovating my bathroom because of the stories I heard from friends about their bad experiences. If I’d known sooner about Bath Planet, I wouldn’t have had to. They are outstanding! I’m extremely happy with my new bathroom and appreciate the team that handled the job. They really listened to what I wanted and helped me every step of the way with the design process, and responded to any questions and concerns. The craftsmen paid unbelievable attention to detail, were meticulous in their work during the entire job, respectful and so easy to work with. They completed the job on time and within the budget."

"My installer John was fantastic. He did an amazing job and I am so pleased with his attention to detail and the way it all turned out. With my home being almost 100 years old nothing is plum or square. He was so caring and took his time and it came out beautifully. I am so glad John was my installer he is amazing."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Historic Illinois homes feature low-clearance basements and hidden pipes that make rerouting difficult. Inspect ranch and split-level layouts for complex slab routing and tricky drain slopes. Homes situated on river bluffs possess tight crawl spaces that restrict access. Additionally, clay-heavy soils shift seasonally, putting intense stress on underground sewer lines and complicating exterior excavation during plumbing updates.

Helpful?

You should look for visible flux residue or uneven solder joints on copper pipes, which point to unqualified work. Check for mismatched materials, like galvanized steel connected directly to copper. In older Waterloo homes, inspect for insufficient drain slope and interior corrosion from hard water. Unpermitted plumbing work is a major red flag that requires immediate attention to bring your home up to code.

Helpful?

A closed permit with a passed inspection proves your plumbing meets local codes. Look for dielectric unions connecting different metals and proper venting visible through the roof. High-quality work features clean pipe supports at correct intervals and a consistent downward drain slope toward the municipal sewer. Always hire a licensed professional in Waterloo to guarantee safe, compliant results.

Helpful?

Start by pulling your home's permit history and contacting the local building department to secure required approvals. Hire a licensed professional to ensure compliance with all state codes. Schedule non-emergency plumbing work during the spring or fall to avoid winter freezes. For older Waterloo properties, budget for a sewer camera inspection before opening any walls or floors.

Helpful?

Address active leaks near the foundation immediately, as IL clay soils retain moisture and accelerate structural damage. Treat sewer line backups and winter water heater failures as emergencies requiring instant action. Schedule minor fixture upgrades and non-leak drain repairs during the spring or fall. If you sell your home, you must fix any unpermitted plumbing before closing.
