Local Knowledge

What Tinley Park Homes Need From a Plumber

The median home in Tinley Park was built in 1987, and about 8 in 10 went up between 1970 and 2009. Whole subdivisions were built at the same time, so their plumbing tends to wear out at the same time too.

01

Subdivisions Aging Together

Equipment installed when these homes were built, like the water heater, the sump pump and the ejector pump that serves a basement bathroom, isn’t made to last 30 or 40 years. If yours is original, or you don’t know how old it is, have it checked before it fails. A water heater that leaks or runs out too fast is usually the first to go.

02

Heavy Rain and Wet Basements

In April 2013, heavy overnight rain closed several Tinley Park streets, and the village fielded calls about flooded basements. Heavy spring rain still tests every sump pump in town. A sump pump with a battery backup keeps running when the power goes out, and a backflow valve stops sewage from coming up through floor drains.

03

Grown Trees and Sewer Lines

Many of the trees planted when Tinley Park’s subdivisions went in are now mature, and their roots go looking for water in sewer lines. Slow drains, gurgling toilets and backups in the basement floor drain are the early signs. A camera inspection shows what’s in the line, and drain cleaning or hydro jetting clears it out.

04

Frozen Pipes and Outdoor Spigots

Southwest suburban winters are hard on outdoor spigots and the pipes that feed them. Water left in a spigot line can freeze, split the pipe inside the wall and start leaking once it thaws. Shut off and drain your outdoor spigots before the first hard freeze, and call us 24/7 if a pipe bursts.

“Brandon was pretty amazing! Very knowledgeable and he took a lot of time to explain in clear language as we went through the inspection. You will be in very good hands with him, if you ever need a walkthrough of your property.”

“Ron was professional and efficient. He wore covers on his shoes and kept me updated as he worked. His situation briefing was detailed and understandable. Upon completion of the service he prepared a set of detailed options and quotes on possible actions to prevent future issues. No heavy sales pitch was given for any of the options nor to sign up for the company’s service plan. I will be following up with them in the near future.”

Plumbing Questions From Tinley Park Homeowners

It depends on the job.

It depends on the job. The main factors are what’s wrong, how hard it is to reach, the parts or materials needed and the age of your plumbing. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins, so you know the cost going in. Give us a call and we’ll walk you through it.

Call us any time, day or night, including weekends and holidays.

Start with the equipment that has a shelf life: the water heater, the sump pump and, if you have a basement bathroom, the ejector pump.

Start with the equipment that has a shelf life: the water heater, the sump pump and, if you have a basement bathroom, the ejector pump. If any of them are original to the house, they’re living on borrowed time. A camera look at your sewer line is worth it too, since roots from mature trees are a common cause of backups. A whole-home checkup covers all of it in one visit.

Make sure your sump pump works before the rain starts: pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch it turn on.

Make sure your sump pump works before the rain starts: pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch it turn on. Add a battery backup so it keeps running if the power goes out, and keep the discharge line clear. If water comes up through a floor drain instead, a backflow valve stops sewage from backing up into the basement. We can check your setup and tell you what it needs.

An ejector pump moves wastewater from a basement bathroom, laundry or bar sink up to your main sewer line, which sits higher than those fixtures.

An ejector pump moves wastewater from a basement bathroom, laundry or bar sink up to your main sewer line, which sits higher than those fixtures. If you have plumbing below the sewer line, you need one. Signs of trouble include a constant running noise, a sewage smell or water backing up in a basement fixture. We repair and replace ejector pumps in Tinley Park homes.

Before the first hard freeze, unhook your garden hose, close the indoor shut-off valve for each spigot and open the spigot outside to let the line drain.

Before the first hard freeze, unhook your garden hose, close the indoor shut-off valve for each spigot and open the spigot outside to let the line drain. If your home has frost-free spigots, the hose still has to come off. A spigot that drips or won’t shut off in spring often means the pipe split over the winter, so call us before you turn it back on.
