Drain Cleaning
Clogged kitchen sinks, slow bathroom drains and backed-up basement floor drains.
A gas range for a new kitchen, a line to the patio grill or a gas dryer in a new laundry room. Our licensed plumbers size, install and test gas lines in Evanston homes. Our Evanston office is on Orrington Avenue, downtown.

Common jobs:
Bigger burners need more gas.
In a basement or second-floor laundry.
No more propane tank swaps.
From wood to gas logs.
Three steps, no shortcuts:
For the new appliance and everything already on it.
Through basements and joists where possible.
Pressure first, appliance second.
Remodels in older homes often mean new gas work.
Moving the range means a new branch.
Grills and fire pits on the patio.
A six-burner range with a griddle can use far more gas than the stove it replaces. In older Evanston homes, the original line to the kitchen is often too small to feed it properly, so burners run weak when the oven and furnace are on too. We add up the total load, check the pipe size back to the meter and upsize the line where needed. Then the new range gets the flame it was designed for.
Length and route matter most. A short branch in an open basement is simple. A line through finished space, to an upper floor or out to the patio takes more work. If the existing pipe is too small for the new load, part of it may need upsizing. We plan the route and quote one flat price.

"Jacob C. Jacob was fantastic. From scheduling to the actual visit, the entire experience with this company was smooth and professional. After dealing with plumbers who overcharge and underdeliver, this was a huge relief. Jacob was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to clearly explain the issue and our options with pricing ranges. We never felt rushed or pressured. [...]"
"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."
"Update: 6/6/25: Manager Damien called within the hour and rectified situation. Thank you for accomodating. The scheduling process was an absolute mess. I filled out the online form and began texting with their team on the morning of Wednesday, 6/4/25, to arrange an evening appointment. I was told Friday evening, 6/6/25, was available. Based on the text exchange, it seemed the appointment was confirmed. [...]"
