Homes around Saint Jacob, Illinois tend to be older and further apart, which changes the job. Longer water service runs, more private wells, more frozen pipe calls in January. A plumber who only works new construction is out of his depth here.
Why homeowners keep the number after the first job.
This started as two people and a truck in 1998 and grew on water, sewer and drain work. Nearly three decades in one trade, not a franchise name bought off a shelf last year.
Every job goes to a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls the permits your town requires. Licence numbers are on the invoice, not buried on a webpage.
You hear the number before a wrench moves. No hourly meter running while you stand there, and no discovering the real cost after the wall is open.
Drop cloths go down, cuts get made clean so the patch is easy, and the old tank or fixture leaves with the truck. The room should look better than we found it.
