Plumbing Repair Evanston IL | Call Jack Blanton Jr. Plumbing Company

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking for pipes in uninsulated areas like crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls—common spots for freezing in Evanston winters. We identify and recommend insulating these vulnerable lines and ensuring proper heating. This proactive step is crucial for preventing the costly water damage that comes from burst pipes during a deep freeze.

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection involves using specialized drain cameras to look inside your pipes. For slow kitchen drains, we can visually confirm the location and severity of grease buildup—a frequent issue in local homes. This allows us to recommend the most effective solution, whether it's a high-pressure jetting to clear the clog or advice on better grease disposal habits to prevent future problems.

Keep an eye out for early warning signs common in our area: unusually low water pressure, unexplained increases in your water bill (which can indicate a hidden leak), gurgling sounds from drains, or slow drainage in multiple fixtures. If you notice any of these, especially as seasons change, it's a good neighborly tip to schedule an inspection with us to catch small issues before they become major repairs.
