Local Knowledge
What Mokena Homes Need From a Plumber
Mokena grew fast. The village had about 1,600 people in 1970 and more than 18,000 by 2010, and the median home here was built in 1995. That means thousands of homes with plumbing of about the same age, wearing out on about the same schedule.
01
Subdivisions Hitting the 25 to 30 Year Mark
More than half of Mokena’s homes were built between 1990 and 2009. The first water heater, the first sump pump and the first ejector pump in those homes were never meant to last 30 years. A water heater that leaks or runs out too fast is usually the first to go, and a whole-home checkup shows what’s next.
02
Flash Flooding and Basement Backups
In August 2025, the National Weather Service reported significant flash flooding in Mokena, as storms dropped 4 to 8 inches of rain across the region. Storms like that test every sump pump in town. A sump pump with a battery backup keeps running if the power goes out, and a backflow valve stops sewer water from coming up through a floor drain.
03
Settled Sewer Lines and Roots
Newer PVC sewer lines don’t crack like old clay, but they can sag where the soil settled after the house went up. Water and debris collect in the low spot, and roots from trees planted with the subdivision find any loose joint. Sewer rodding clears the line, and a camera inspection shows whether it needs a repair.
04
Winter Freezes and Outdoor Spigots
Mokena winters bring long stretches below freezing. Pipes in exterior walls, garages and outdoor spigot lines freeze first, and a split pipe often starts leaking inside a wall once it thaws. We can find and fix the leak, and we’re on call 24/7 if a pipe bursts.

What Our Customers Say
Real Mokena Reviews
4.8 stars from 176 Google reviews for our Mokena office.
★★★★★
“John Cosgriff did a great job completing my sewer line repair and replacing a section of the water main. What originally looked like a simple job turned into something much more complicated. John was obviously very knowledgeable and experienced with all the skills needed to complete the job. He also kept me well-informed on what this 2-3 day job entailed and addressed all my questions and concerns. I’m very satisfied with his work and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
★★★★★
“Robert D. did a great job of installing my new sump pump and ejector pit motor which had failed. He cleaned up the areas well. He was also very quick and efficient in his work. He also explained what I need to monitor on the battery back up.”
★★★★★
“Josh was a great technician today and was very helpful in explaining to us the options we have with fixing our 55 year old home/plumbing system!”

Start with the water heater, the sump pump and, if you have a basement bathroom, the ejector pump.
Start with the water heater, the sump pump and, if you have a basement bathroom, the ejector pump. Equipment that came with the house is often 25 years old or more by now. A whole-home checkup tells you what’s close to the end, so you can replace it on your schedule instead of after it fails.
Power rodding is a motorized cable that cuts through roots and clogs in your main sewer line.
Power rodding is a motorized cable that cuts through roots and clogs in your main sewer line. If several drains are slow at once, or water comes up through the basement floor drain, the main line is likely blocked. We rod it clear and can camera the line to show you what caused it.
Start with a sump pump in good shape, a battery backup in case the power goes out and a backflow valve on your sewer line.
Start with a sump pump in good shape, a battery backup in case the power goes out and a backflow valve on your sewer line. We can test your pump, check the discharge line and tell you which flood protection makes sense for your home.
Tank water heaters usually last somewhere around 8 to 12 years.
Tank water heaters usually last somewhere around 8 to 12 years. Rusty water, rumbling noises, a leak at the base or hot water that runs out faster than it used to all mean it’s time to have it checked. Replacing it on your schedule is easier than dealing with a flooded basement.
