Company History

The Sunkel family began in plumbing and heating in 1955 when Morris E. Sunkel started the business after a career in homebuilding. Morris obtained a Master plumber's license early under Illinois' licensing rules. The business once operated from a variety store on W. Market Street and grew into a local service firm. Jason Sunkel joined in the early 1990s and continued the family work into a third generation.

The company has added modern tools like hydrojetting and sewer rooter machines while keeping a neighborhood focus. They repair older cast iron lines, replace water heaters, and install new filtration systems for local homes.

Leadership

The owner has three decades of hands-on experience in McLean County. He grew up in the trade and leads a small crew of trusted technicians. That local presence shows in steady scheduling, clear estimates, and familiarity with Bloomington-area housing — from historic downtown homes to suburban developments near Illinois State and Illinois Wesleyan university areas.

• Hydrojetting and sewer rooter service for tough clog and root issues.
