Sump Pumps
Sump pump repair, replacement and battery backups to keep your basement dry through heavy rain and snowmelt.
A toilet that runs all night, rocks when you sit down or leaves water around the base. We repair and replace toilets across Arlington Heights and give you a flat price before we touch it. From our office on East Central Road.

Most toilet problems are quick fixes:
A worn flapper or fill valve lets water leak into the bowl. It can waste a lot of water.
A failed wax ring or a cracked flange. Fix it before the subfloor rots.
An early low-flow model, a partial clog in the trap or a problem further down the line.
A loose or broken flange. Rocking breaks the seal and leads to leaks.
Bathrooms in Arlington Heights range from original 1950s tile to recent remodels, and the toilet problems follow the age of the room.
In homes from the 1940s through the 1960s, the floor flange under the toilet is often cast iron and decades old. When it breaks, the toilet rocks and the seal fails. We repair or replace it.
Many toilets installed in the 1990s were early low-flow models that clog easily. A modern high-efficiency toilet uses less water and flushes better.
If the toilet gurgles when the washer drains or the tub empties, the main line may be partly blocked. In older neighborhoods, roots in clay pipe are a common cause. See drain cleaning.
A toilet repair should be quick and priced upfront.
A new fill valve costs far less than a new toilet. We'll tell you which makes sense.
One number before we open the tank.
Floors protected and the old toilet hauled away if we replace it.

"Anthony was our technician to take out our old water heater and install a new one as well as install new inside parts to two of our toilets. He was very professional, courteous, respectful of our home, and very pleasant with whom to deal. We were very happy to have had Anthony as our plumber."
"Stephen and Brendon were great. Explained the options, transparent pricing on parts, had quick support from management on bid questions and great communication from scheduling to job completion. Efficient, cleaned up the area and worked well together even though they came at different times for different portions of the job. Definitely recommend them."
"Edgar Herrera , was amazing, outstanding customer service! Definitely recommend J.Blanton Plumbing!!."
Usually the flapper or fill valve isn't sealing.
Usually the flapper at the bottom of the tank or the fill valve isn't sealing, so water keeps trickling into the bowl. Replacing them is a quick, inexpensive fix.
It can be. A failed seal can rot the subfloor over time.
It can be. Water at the base usually means the wax ring or flange has failed. Over time it soaks the subfloor and can damage the ceiling below. Fix it early.
Running and minor leaks are repairs. A cracked bowl or constant clogging means replace.
Running, small leaks and loose seats are repairs. A cracked bowl or tank, or an older toilet that clogs all the time, is usually worth replacing.
Yes. We'll check it fits your rough-in first.
Yes. Most toilets in Arlington Heights homes have a standard 12-inch rough-in, but older bathrooms sometimes differ. We'll confirm before installing.
It depends on the toilet and flange. You get a flat price first.
It depends on the toilet, whether the flange or shutoff needs replacing and removal of the old one. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins.
