Sewer Repair
Cracked or sagging sewer lines, roots and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
A shower that drips after you shut it off, turns cold when someone flushes or barely sprays. We repair shower valves, replace fixtures and find leaks before they damage the ceiling below. From our office on Jodi Road.

Call when:
A worn cartridge in the valve.
A pressure-balancing cartridge that's worn out.
A clogged showerhead or valve screen.
A leak at the valve, drain or pan.
Most shower valves in Mokena are from the 1990s and 2000s, and parts are usually still available.
On most valves from this era, a new cartridge fixes drips and temperature swings without opening the wall.
A small leak can stain the ceiling below. We find the source before opening anything.
They drain to an ejector pump, so a slow basement shower may be a pump problem.
Many Mokena bathrooms have one-piece tub and shower units. A crack in the base can leak into the ceiling below, and we can tell you whether it's the valve, the drain or the unit.
We find the problem without tearing out the tile.
Through the trim whenever possible.
Approved before we start.
No drips, steady temperature.

A cartridge replacement is quick. Replacing a valve or fixing a leak in a one-piece unit takes more. We diagnose and quote a flat price.
