Drain Cleaning
Slow, gurgling or backed-up drains in kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
A gas line to the patio grill, a standby generator, a new range or a fire pit. Our plumbers are licensed for gas work, pull the permit and pressure-test every line. From our office on 185th Street in Tinley Park.

We run new lines and extend existing ones for:
No more swapping propane tanks before a cookout.
Sized for the generator's full load, so it runs your sump pump through an outage.
Switching to gas or moving the range in a remodel.
A dedicated line in the laundry room or basement.
New gas fireplaces and inserts. See gas fireplace service.
Often need a larger line. See tankless water heaters.
Gas lines have to be right the first time:
We add up your gas appliances and the distance from the meter.
We pull the permit, and before any digging we call JULIE (Illinois 811) to mark buried utilities.
Pipe, fittings and shutoffs where code requires them.
Every connection checked before the appliance goes into service.
Many Tinley Park homes were built with a gas furnace, water heater and dryer. Today's outdoor kitchens and generators can add a lot to that load.
In April 2013, one storm knocked out power to about 300 ComEd customers in Tinley Park. A standby generator keeps the sump pump running, and it needs a properly sized gas line.
A line to a grill or fire pit usually runs underground across the yard. We plan the route around patios, fences and landscaping.
Before adding a big appliance, we check your meter and piping to make sure everything gets enough gas at once.
Gas work isn't a DIY project or a quick favor.
Gas line work should be done by a licensed pro.
We don't price gas work over the phone. You get a flat rate before anything starts.
Every line is 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."
