Plumbing FAQ

Questions homeowners ask us

Tankless or a traditional tank water heater?

Tankless units deliver endless hot water, save space, and last longer, with a higher upfront cost. Tank heaters cost less to install and suit some homes better. We'll size your demand and recommend the right fit.

How long does a whole-home repipe take?

Most homes are repiped in 2–5 days depending on size and access. We protect your finishes, work in zones to keep water on when possible, and clean up daily.

Do I really need a sump pump backup?

In Chicago's heavy rains, a battery (or water-powered) backup is cheap insurance against a flooded basement when the power goes out — exactly when you need the pump most.

Why is my water pressure low?

Common causes are aging galvanized pipe, mineral buildup, a failing pressure regulator, or a hidden leak. We'll diagnose the real cause rather than just treat the symptom.
