Sewer Repair
Cracked or sagging sewer lines, roots and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
A faint gas smell near the furnace, a red tag from the utility or a grill line that stopped working. Our licensed plumbers find gas leaks, repair the piping and pressure-test it before we leave. From our office on Jodi Road.

Your safety comes before any repair:
Pets too. Leave the door open behind you.
Leave light switches, phones, the garage door opener and the thermostat alone.
Call Nicor Gas or 911 once you're away from the house.
After the utility says it's safe, we'll track down the leak and fix it.
Give us a call if:
Even a slight smell near an appliance is worth checking.
The gas company shut off service, and the system needs a repair and a pressure test.
Outdoor lines can be damaged by digging, frost or a mower.
Moving an appliance can damage the flexible line behind it.
To find a leak, we work through the system with an electronic gas detector and a soap solution on every fitting, then pressure-test the whole line to prove it holds.
The most common culprits in Mokena homes are appliance connectors, fittings near the furnace and water heater, and outdoor lines added later for grills and fire pits. Once the repair is done, we test again so the utility can turn service back on.
Most gas piping in Mokena went in during the 1990s or later, but it still needs care.
Grill, fire pit and pool heater lines run through the yard and need to be installed and protected correctly.
Many newer homes use flexible piping (CSST), which needs proper bonding.
Connectors get bent when appliances are moved. A kinked one should be replaced.
Gas work isn't a place to cut corners.
Gas work calls for a licensed pro.
Once the leak is found, you approve a flat price.
A pressure test proves the line is tight.

Get out, then call Nicor Gas or 911.

It's CSST. It's safe when it's bonded correctly.
That's CSST, common in homes built in the last few decades. It's safe when it's installed and bonded to code, and we can check that it is.
Yes.

It varies with the leak. You'll approve a flat price first.
