Frequently Asked Questions
My toilet is leaking at the base. Is this a common issue in Chicago homes, and can you fix it?
Yes, a leaking toilet seal (wax ring) is very common here, often due to our older housing stock and shifting foundations. At Meraza Plumbing, we specialize in toilet repair and re-installation. We'll remove the toilet, replace the failed seal with a heavy-duty or reinforced option suited for Chicago's conditions, and ensure a proper, watertight fit to prevent floor damage and water waste.
What can I do to prevent sewer backups, which I've heard are a problem in my area?
Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend a professional plumbing inspection and drain cleaning service, especially for the main sewer line. Our technicians can use a camera to inspect your pipes for tree root intrusion, cracks, or blockages common in Chicago's sewer systems. We also offer sump pump installation and repair to manage groundwater and can advise on or install backwater valves, a critical defense against sewer backup into your home.
I need a new water heater. Do you handle installation for both gas and electric models common in Chicago?
Absolutely. Our services include expert water heater installation and repair for all standard models. For gas water heaters, our licensed professionals handle the gas line installation or repair safely and to code. For electric models, we ensure proper electrical connections. We'll help you choose an efficient unit sized for your household, handle disposal of the old one, and ensure everything is working perfectly to provide reliable hot water through our cold winters.
