Jeremey and Lane did an amazing job, quick to respond and cleaned up the space before leaving.
Also mounted the ventilation fan for us even though they only had to do a plumbing job (which they didn't have to do for us)

Woke up to no hot water, called C-U and they were there in 90 minutes, had it fixed in no time. A new part would have taken 2 days so they cleaned and repaired the existing pressure valve and it works good as new. These issues are never expected but glad to know C-U is there with such amazing service. Thanks much!

Straightforward Answers to Everyday Plumbing Problems

A running toilet usually indicates that the flapper isn’t sealing properly or that the float needs adjustment. It’s a small part, but it can waste a lot of water over time. If a quick fix doesn’t do the trick, we can help sort it out before it becomes a bigger issue.

If clogs keep coming back, there’s likely more going on than just hair or soap. Grease, mineral buildup, or even tree roots can block the line. Avoid chemical drain cleaners — they’re rough on pipes and don’t fix the root issue. Give us a call. We’ll safely clear it out and, if needed, recommend repairs or pipe replacement to help keep it from happening again.

Low water pressure can result from a clogged aerator, a hidden leak, or issues with the pressure regulator. If cleaning the faucet doesn’t help, it’s time to have a professional take a closer look to prevent further problems.

It depends on the age of the unit and the nature of the problem. Some issues are worth fixing, but if repairs are frequent or the unit is old, replacement might be more cost-effective. We’ll walk you through your options and help you decide what’s best for your situation.

We don’t recommend it. Chemical cleaners can be harsh on your pipes and often provide only a temporary fix. For stubborn clogs, professional cleaning is a safer and more effective solution.

Insulate pipes in unheated areas and let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold to prevent water from freezing. These simple steps can help prevent frozen pipes and the costly damage they can cause, especially during Central Illinois winters.

The main shut-off valve is typically located where the water line enters your home, such as in the basement, crawl space, or utility room. Knowing its location is crucial in case of an emergency. If you’re unsure, we can help you find it during a service visit.

Bad smells or odd tastes in your water can be linked to minerals, sediment buildup, or bacteria, especially in older plumbing systems or well setups. Central Illinois has a lot of hard water, and we regularly install filtration systems that actually solve the problem, rather than just covering it up.

Sudden spikes in your water bill are often the first sign. But you might also notice musty smells, water stains on the ceiling, or warm spots underfoot. Hidden leaks can sit for a while before they cause visible damage, so if something feels off, it’s worth having us take a look.

Common causes include sediment buildup inside the tank, a failing heating element, or an undersized water heater. We can inspect your system, flush it, or recommend a replacement of the right size if needed.

We recommend a yearly checkup for water heaters, sump pumps, and drain lines. Regular inspections help catch small problems early and keep everything running smoothly. Sign up for our service plan, and we’ll handle the reminders for you.
