Plumbing questions, answered for Lemont

Most Lemont homes were built around 1961, and 64% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Lemont line is far cheaper than a full repipe.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.
