Emergencies in Two-Flats and Condos
In a shared building, one unit's emergency quickly becomes everyone's. Know where your unit's shutoff is, and where the building main is. In many two-flats, it's in the basement near the meter. Keep a phone number for the other owners or the association. If water is coming through a ceiling, it's probably from the unit above. Shut off what you can, warn your neighbors and call us.
Emergencies During a Chicago Cold Snap
When temperatures drop below zero, our calls shift to frozen and burst pipes, especially on enclosed back porches and kitchen walls in older buildings. Keep the heat steady, open cabinet doors and let a faucet drip. If a pipe bursts, shut off the water at your unit's valve or the building main and call us.

"Communication, information and installation went great. Price was very competitive. Shane explained everything extremely well and Alex installed hot water tank beautifully. Shortly after Alex left a gas leak from an old valve on the piping to the tank occurred and needed to be replaced, Alex came back same night and fixed it. This is a 5-Star company."
★★★★★
"Andrew A was friendly, efficient and did a thorough job fixing our bathtub faucet. Called in the night before and he was there the next morning and fixed everything within 2 hours. Would definitely reach out again if needed and ask for Andrew's assistance."

"Alex could not have been greater! We noticed the leak last night, called J. Blandon this morning and he was here an hour later. Walked us through all of our options and explained everything. Honestly took what could have been a huge headache and made it reassuring and confident on our resolution.Kyle was awesome and even hung in there for a replacement part."
