Drain Cleaning
Slow, gurgling or backed-up drains in kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
A new gas range, a dryer hookup, a grill line on the patio or a backup generator. Our licensed plumbers size, run and pressure-test new gas lines in homes across Elgin. From our office on North McLean Boulevard.

Common projects:
A switch from electric to gas usually means a new line from the basement.
A short new branch to the laundry area.
A permanent patio line means no propane runs.
Larger appliances may need a bigger line.
Sized, run and tested:
We total the demand of every gas appliance so the system can carry the new one.
We route the pipe, add a shutoff at the appliance and connect it to code.
The line is tested for leaks before it's used.
New gas work almost always ties into existing piping.
In older homes, the route from the basement to the kitchen can be tricky. We find the cleanest path.
Grill and fire pit lines are common in newer homes with big patios.
A tankless water heater or generator may need more gas than the original line can deliver. We check before connecting.

"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."
