Sewer Repair
Tree roots, cracked clay pipe and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
A gas range for the kitchen remodel, a standby generator, a grill line or a new fireplace. Our plumbers are licensed for gas work, pull the permit and pressure-test every line. From our office on Ottawa Street.

We run and extend gas lines for:
Switching to gas or moving the range.
Sized for the generator's full load.
Permanent lines instead of propane tanks.
New units and conversions. See gas fireplace service.
A dedicated line in the laundry room.
Often need a bigger line. See tankless water heaters.
Gas lines have to be right the first time:
We add up the gas load and the distance from the meter.
We pull the permit and call JULIE (Illinois 811) before digging.
Pipe, fittings and shutoffs where code requires them.
Every connection checked before the appliance runs.
Joliet's homes span more than a century, so the existing gas piping varies a lot.
In older homes, we check the existing piping and fittings for corrosion before connecting anything new.
A generator or tankless heater can need more gas than an older system was sized for.
In west side subdivisions, patio grills and fire pits are the most common new lines. We route them around patios and landscaping.
Gas work is not a weekend project.
Gas work calls for a licensed pro.
We don't price gas work over the phone.
Every line pressure-tested.

"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."
"We had a new gas pipe installed that ws located to sevice our dryer in the basement on July 14th. The Technician was friendly and did a great job with the installation. He cleaned up after himself, and the pricing was competative."
"Andrew and Ty did a great job fixing and replacing some old natural gas pipe that had a recurring leak. Punctual, efficient, kept me informed, cleaned up well after. I highly recommend."

Often, but we check the existing piping and load before connecting anything.
Often, but older piping wasn't sized for today's generators, tankless heaters and outdoor kitchens. We add up the load, check the pipe and fittings for corrosion and tell you if anything needs upgrading first.
A short run can take a few hours. Longer runs can take a day.
A short run to a range or dryer often takes a few hours. Generators and outdoor lines can take a day. You'll get a timeline before we start.
It depends on the run, the appliance and permits. You get a flat price first.
Every run is different: how far it goes from the meter, whether it's inside or buried, the pipe size and the permit. We walk the route with you and give you one flat rate before anything starts.
