Drain Cleaning
Clogged drains are one of the more common plumbing issues. You may notice it when the water begins to pool at your feet in the shower or sinks retaining water longer than normal. Debris tends to build up in these pipes over time and if not regularly addressed it can begin to cause issues.
Pipe Leak Repair
Pipes, especially in older homes made with older materials, tend to degrade over time. This can lead to leaks at connection points and other critical areas. A small pipe leak can be an easy fix if caught early, but can quickly grow into a larger issue. Even the smallest pipe leak can cause extensive water damage to a property. It is crucial to have any suspected leaks looked at immediately to mitigate the impact it may cause.
Frozen and Burst Pipe Repair
In the cold Chicago winters, sometimes pipes, especially uninsulated ones, can freeze. Not only does this stop the flow of water, but the expansion of the ice can cause the pipes to burst. Sometimes you will notice this right away with wet spots in the home or a change in water flow, but sometimes you may not notice until you go to water the lawn in May and all of the sudden your basement is flooded! If you suspect a frozen or burst pipe in your home or building, our team can come diagnose the issue, repair it, and provide education if needed on how to prevent future problems!
Fixture Repair and Replacement
Plumbing fixtures play a crucial role in our daily life, it can be frustrating when they do not work as expected. Whether it be a leaky faucet, malfunctioning toilet, or shower head that has seen better days, our capable team can service your home with quality fixture repair, or if necessary, replacement.
Sump Pump Service
Sump pumps are a great way to keep your property safe from flooding during heavy rain or snow melt. Many homes and even more condominiums are built with sump pumps in them. These can provide peace of mind, until the power goes out. It is crucial to be sure to have an effective back up system to keep your property safe. If you need sump pump repaired, installed, or would like a consultation on a backup system, call our expert team.
Water Quality and Filtration
Any homeowner who is concerned about the quality of their tap water would do well to invest in a water filtration system. Water filtration systems ensure that clean, healthy, clear water is reliably coming into your home. A high quality water filtration system can filter out contaminants such as sediments, chlorine, heavy metals, and harmful microorganisms. It can also go a long way to improving the taste and odor of your water!
