"This was my first experience with J&S Plumbing, and I was very pleased. The outside discharge pipe from my basement sump pump had developed a leak and was flooding my yard. Despite the fact that the ground was saturated, they were able to dig down, find the leak, repair it, and then did a great job putting back all the mud and grass so that it is level. I will definitely call them the next time I need a plumber."

"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."

"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."

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

Select freeze-resistant materials like flexible PEX tubing for supply lines in unheated areas to combat harsh Wheeling winters. For underground drains, install standard PVC Schedule 40 to accommodate shifting clay soils. When replacing older water service lines, use copper or approved plastic pipe to comply with IL state standards. Always verify that your chosen plumbing materials are fully certified for potable water use.

Helpful?

Identifying your existing pipe materials determines whether you need a spot repair or a full repiping. Because Wheeling sits on expansive clay soils that shift seasonally, knowing your ground conditions is essential for underground plumbing work. Additionally, check if your property sits in a flood zone or utilizes an overhead sewer system, as this drastically changes the drainage design required by Illinois building codes.

Helpful?

Mandatory inspections extend plumbing projects in Wheeling into multiple visits. When rough-in inspections are required, contractors must stop work until an inspector approves the progress. Discovering deteriorated clay sewer lines or severe freeze-related pipe damage also expands the project scope. Additionally, coordinating a municipal water shutoff at the curb stop adds scheduling time, especially during the busy spring renovation season across Illinois.

Helpful?

Before beginning plumbing work in Wheeling, secure the necessary building permits for projects like water heater replacements or sewer line repairs. Hire a licensed contractor to ensure all work meets Illinois state codes. If your project involves exterior excavation, state law strictly mandates calling 811 at least three business days prior to digging. Finally, coordinate with local public works if you must shut off the municipal water service line.

Helpful?

Document your home’s build decade to help contractors anticipate specific pipe materials used in older Wheeling properties. Record the age and fuel source of your water heater, and note the locations of your main water shutoff and sewer cleanout. You should also write down your basement type, any history of sewer backups, and existing water quality issues before scheduling any plumbing services in IL.
