About the Company
For over 55 years, Ernie Peterson Plumbing has been the trusted, family-owned plumbing service for Waukegan and the surrounding communities. Founded in 1965, our commitment to honest, reliable work has earned us an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. We operate from a 20,000-square-foot facility that supports our three dedicated divisions: service for your home repairs, site utility work for sewer and water lines, and a full construction division for projects ranging from bathroom remodels to commercial builds. Recognized with multiple safety awards for our zero lost-time incident record, we bring that same careful, professional approach to every job, whether it's a simple faucet repair or a major sewer line installation. We're not just plumbers; we're your neighbors, dedicated to solving your plumbing problems with integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washing machine hose burst and flooded my Waukegan basement. Can you help with the cleanup and repair?
Absolutely. Burst laundry hoses are a common issue in our area, especially with older homes. We can quickly respond to stop the water flow, assess the damage to your plumbing, and make all necessary repairs or replacements. For extensive water, we can also recommend trusted local restoration partners to help with the cleanup, ensuring your home is properly dried and protected from mold.
Do you handle large commercial plumbing projects, or are you just a residential service company?
We have the capability for both. While our family-owned roots are in residential service, we have a full construction division that manages projects from start to finish. Operating from our 20,000 sq. ft. facility allows us to take on large-scale commercial work, multi-family units, and complex installations, all backed by the same safety-first, quality-focused approach we've upheld since 1965.
What's involved in a plumbing inspection, and when should I consider scheduling one?
Our comprehensive plumbing inspections use tools like sewer cameras to visually assess the condition of your pipes, drains, and fixtures. It's a smart preventative step before buying a home, if you're noticing recurring slow drains, or for older homes in Waukegan to check for issues like deteriorating sewer lines or faulty sump pumps. The inspection gives you a clear picture of your system's health and helps us recommend any needed repairs before they become emergencies.
