"called All Affordable Plumbing to replace a leaking hose faucet. Due to a cancellation, they were able to send a plumber at 7:00AM next morning. Sergio arrived right on time and completed the work quickly at a reasonable price. I was impressed that the replacement was a good quality faucet - the same that I would have used if doing the repair myself. Sergio was very professional and polite. I highly recommend All Affordable Plumbing. I will be using them for future work."
Pipe was completely packed! Drain cleaning was not going to do the  job here!

"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."

"I can’t recommend Joe enough. He was was fast, reliable, and made sure the job was done right (fixing mistakes from a previous plumber I used). It is hard finding good contractors these days and I will be using this company for any plumbing needs in the future."

"I had a slow leak/dripping valve and the main shutoff valve was original and in need of replacement as it was very old and I was afraid of breaking off the handle or it failing when needed. There was also a corroded section of galvanized pipe coming directly out of the old valve so I was worried about it potentially failing at an especially inconvenient time and being unprepared for future emergencies.
Charlie and his assistant showed up as scheduled for their appointment and completed the replacement with an improved configuration. 
Charlie offered some extra observations and pieces of information and advice not all directly related to the job and answered all my questions about the plumbing work.
I was happy to be able to get this done through Charlie's as he was very pleasant to work with.

"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."

"Sunday March 28, 2021 I had the pleasure of working with Aqua Doctors Plumbing at 1304 Eastview Drive Waukegan, IL 60085. At home there were two (2) small gas leaks at connection points with my furnace and the stove. They were the first to reply when I initiated the request for quotes on Saturday 3/27. They scheduled an appointment for the next day between 11-1 pm. They arrived at the beginning of the window of time they quoted (yippee). I was prepared to provide shoe covers due to the pandemic. They were respectful of safety measures and had their own shoe covers and masks in hand already. Bravo! Chris and Rob were very good at providing and explanation of services to be rendered. A consultative approach was used and appreciated. They did not talk down to you as the client/non-plumber in the room. They worked expeditiously and thoroughly resolving both issues. I also had them quote a larger job due to this good experience. I found them to be reliable and I’m sure you will too! Thank you, Aqua Doctors! Kind regards, Major J. Johnson (retired)"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

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.

Helpful?

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?

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?

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.
