Used to be a great plumbing shop, but now they stopped doing residential repairs. Don't even call.

The city of Joliet has a contract with this company to install new digital water meters. The gentlemen didnt seem so happy for what? I dont know. I asked a few questions and he kind of blew me off. So after the gentleman completed the digital water meter install in the basement. The signal box on the side of the house that the city gets its reading from. I asked how does this work. The gentleman looked at me with disgust and explained very distasteful. At this point I was aggravated. My intentions now in mind were sir just finish and leave. This has to be my first negative review Ive ever left. It takes alot to get under my skin and this was it.

Have a serious sewer or water line issue? These are the guys. They are the best! They were not daunted by an issue of long standing regarding a broken sewer pipe that was causing issues well beyond unpleasant. Other companies did not seem to know how to solve the issue without massive unnecessary work. They couldnt even find where the breaks in the pipe were. All they did was tell us how long the run is, like I didnt know that, how its an old pipe, also not news, and that they couldnt really give a quote. Calumet City came out, identified two breaks and their exact locations within an hour. Other companies couldnt even figure out how to scope the line, and did not understand that the line had two clean outs. They didnt know what that was in the backyard, and said it would have to go. It didnt and it is an integral component to the system. Its the second clean out for an unusually long run. And they believed me when I said there was a broken rodder in the line, and they identified that it was the cause of the breaks in the first place. And that had to have happened a long time ago. Well never know just who did the damage. They prepared a very fair quote in a very timely fashion that included all aspects of the work. This included the entire job, like new concrete, and even the garage door weather strip, so everything is as it was. Other companies only really offered recommendations for most of the work. These other companies also wanted open-ended contracts, so they could charge whatever they wanted. Do people really not understand what could result by signing a contract like that? It was well worth living with an issue until we found a company, the right company, that knows about old, and new, sewer and water lines. So glad we did wait, even if it was unpleasant. The team leader and team were terrific. They are all knowledgeable, arrive on time, friendly, have a sense of humor while doing pretty unpleasant work. And they took the time to explain what was going on before, during, and after. Understand, there are many companies that will tell you issues like an old broken sewer line will cost tens of thousands, maybe more. And from what was actually done that solved this long standing problem, those companies would not only have cost me well over treble the cost, but would have caused a whole lot of damage, and maybe the building. They said theyd need to tear out part of a fence, tear up a large established garden, and tear up the concrete floor of a large garage. One company wanted to completely reroute the entire line and tear up the basement, the long driveway and the newly done street and new sewer and water lines. They didnt even know where to get an excavator of the proper size. And all they need to do was look from that second clean out they didnt understand to find the problem. They wouldnt do that when I asked them to. They gave excuses as to why they couldnt. Thank you Calumet City! I am so glad that the city I live in uses your company to service the citys water and sewer lines, and sent you guys to fix an issue they had with our water feed. And though the city didnt tell me you were coming, your team looked to find me until they found the owner, before they started. With two large buildings, that took some looking. I am so glad the guys did. What a pleasure working with you was. And no Hey Little Girl, whats on your little mind. Thank you for the respect and honesty.
