"We are pleased with our bath remodel that included a new tub, tub surround and wainscot walls. There was one small problem with the walls due to the ceiling and walls not being plumb however they did go above and beyond by doing more than was was agreed upon by making plumbing improvements, installing a new lighted medicine cabinet and repairing a light fixture. They were very courteous and the installer even made a suggestion for a change that we agreed would be better."
"I'd had water in my basement several times in the past ten years, but was hesitant to have this work done, knowing it would be expensive. It has been so worth it! I have added value to my home, as well as the peace of mind of a dry basement!"
"I had Ken and his crew come out in Dec. 2019 to install a new shower and replace two sink faucets in our primary bathroom. They did a great job. We did need a little warranty work done recently and they sent out a service technician who did what we asked courteously and professionally. I love a company that stands behind their work and Prime Baths in Coal City does just that. Will use them again as needed for sure."
"We had a challenging project with water removal and structural support issues. Our crew of Tim (Foreman), Marq, Jayshawn, and Devon worked diligently to install a new drainage system and support beam for the house, spending late nights to get the job done. Thanks to (Manager) Cornell for his assistance on this complex project.

"Working with BuidSmart Contractor Services was an absolute dream from start to finish. My old kitchen was completely dated and worn out so we decided on a total down to the studs demolition from the moment the demo started the professionalism, care and attention to detail were second to none. The new layout is simply brilliant, so much more functionality, beautiful and tailored to how I exactly use the space every single detail from the new cabinetry and hardware to the finishes and installation was handled with expert craftsmanship. Walking into my new kitchen brings a smile to my face every single day. I couldn?t be happier with how things turned out."
Yes, a skilled plumber can thaw frozen pipes, and it is recommended to hire a professional rather than attempting a DIY fix. A plumber will typically start by investigating your plumbing to locate the frozen areas. They then use professional equipment, such as a heat gun, to safely thaw the affected pipes. If a pipe has already burst or developed leaks, the plumber can make the necessary repairs. For homes with frequently frozen pipes, a plumber can also suggest preventative measures like improving pipe insulation or rerouting lines away from areas prone to freezing.
If a pipe bursts in your home, the first step is to shut off the water supply as quickly as possible. You can often use a local isolation valve, such as the one under a kitchen sink, to cut off water to a specific area. However, if you cannot see the burst pipe or if it involves a large water supply line, using the main water supply valve is the best option to stop the flow. After the water is off, open all your faucets and flush the toilets to drain the pipes and relieve any remaining pressure. Finally, call a plumber to make an emergency repair.
For easy-to-access pipes, your plumber will shut off the main water line and replace the pipes without demolishing your property. Underground or difficult-to-access pipes require different approaches. There are two ways to replace underground cast iron pipes: trench and trenchless sewer line replacements. Trenchless replacements result in minimal damage to your yard and involve bursting pipes and replacing them with new ones via an access point.
A cistern works by collecting rainwater from your gutters and downspouts and storing it in a holding tank. The holding tank can be installed above or below ground, and the size will depend on your household needs. The stored water can then be used for household tasks, watering your garden, and even for drinking water.
Yes, frozen pipes can prevent a toilet from working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which means your toilet tank won't be able to refill after a flush. This will prevent the toilet from flushing again. Depending on which lines are frozen, the ice can also block the drain pipe, preventing water from flushing away.
As a temporary workaround, you can manually add water to the tank for each flush. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try filling the toilet bowl or tank with warm water and flushing to help thaw the ice. However, the best long-term solution is to unfreeze the pipes to get your toilet back in working order.
