Dave Padula was recommended to me by my step father, and I used him on three different occasions. He is very knowledgeable, and most of all I found him to be extremely honest and fair in his pricing. He doesn?t seem like someone who will try push unnecessary replacement parts or equipment, and he gets the work done quickly. I had a reoccurring issue with a toilet caused by the use of a large houseguest, and Dave took the extra time to teach me how I could do the repair by myself without a plumber.re "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/gurnee/padula-plumbing-inc-reviews-6586377.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Dan Netko Exteriors Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Charles W."},"reviewBody":"It was pretty fast and inexpensive.

The water heater install went okay although I think they charged me a lot as it cost $2500. But, the cap they put on the unused chimney pipe leaked snow melt on my basement floor. I called and said considering the price I paid that they should fix that for free. They NEVER returned my call.
Quoted medium price. Explained how to fix leak and how is was going to be guaranteed. Cleaned up well before leaving.

"The work was good, and clean-up was fine. Bad (rainy) weather hampered the start of the project - not their fault.

"We got this company name from Angi’s List and signed a contract and made a down payment with St Croix Kitchen & Bath on March 27th. We were told work would begin in about 8 weeks and would take only 9-10 days to complete. It has now been over 6 months and we still can’t get a start date.

Basement Leak Repair questions, answered by experts
While both a channel drain and a French drain serve a similar purpose, a French drain is designed to prevent groundwater from causing flooding issues. This type of drain system goes underneath the soil and is completely surrounded by soil and rock. A channel drain, also called a trench drain, removes surface water before it ever enters the ground—hence the concrete and above-ground installation method.
If you’ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you’re done, now’s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.
Yes, many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.
Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage.
There are several reasons why you may find water dripping through your ceiling. This leak could be the result of a plumbing issue or a damaged roof. It’s important to determine the source of the leak before it causes damage to your home and belongings. Taking steps to catch the water immediately will help with additional issues.
