Our Story

Started With a Truck, a Toolbox & a Handshake

Over 30 years ago, Wally Blanton was a small team with a big dream — just a truck, a few tools, a can-do attitude, and a warm smile, eager to help neighbors with their plumbing. Not much has changed in that spirit. The team has grown and the equipment has gotten serious, but the way we treat people hasn't.

It's a family business — Wally founded it and brought his son on board, and decades later it's still run with the same personal accountability that put the family name on every truck. When you call, you're trusting a name that the people behind it actually answer for.

Today we're the go-to team for all plumbing and sewer needs across the Chicagoland and Wisconsin region — and we earned that title the slow way: one honest job at a time.

Family Owned & Operated Father & son — and the same standard for over three decades.

Building a Legacy

More Than 30 Years in the Making

From a one-truck operation to the most trusted plumbing name on both sides of the state line.

The Beginning

One truck, a few tools, and a promise to neighbors: show up, be straight with people, and fix it right. The foundation everything else was built on.

From a Few Services to All of Them

We grew our offering from a handful of fixes to a full menu of 30+ plumbing and sewer services — the one team to call for anything water, gas, or drain.

Serious Equipment, Serious Results

We invested in hydro-jets, augers, and HD camera inspection units — and stocked every service vehicle so the right tool for the job is already on board.

#1 Rated — Two States

Decades of hard work earned the #1 rated spot across Chicagoland and Wisconsin, with 24/7 emergency coverage so customers are never left hanging.

Full-Service, One Team

Everything Plumbing & Sewer — Under One Name

We don't stick to one or two things. From the water heater in the basement to the sewer line under the yard, it's one trusted team for the whole job.

Water Heaters & Tankless

Repair and installation for tank and tankless units — every make and model, sized and vented correctly for your home.

Gas Lines & Fitting

Installation, repair, pressure testing, and appliance fitting — handled safely by licensed techs who treat every leak as priority one.

Sewer Repair & Replacement

Sewer line repair, replacement, rodding, and pipe lining — plus inspection to find the real problem before any digging starts.

Drain Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting

From simple clogs to roots and heavy buildup — cleared with high-pressure hydro-jetting and HD camera diagnostics.

Sump & Well Pumps

Sump pump installation and repair with battery backup options, plus submersible and jet well pump service to restore flow.

Repiping & Leak Detection

Replace tired galvanized or polybutylene pipe with copper or PEX, and pinpoint hidden leaks with electronic detection.

Softeners & Filtration

Whole-house water softeners and filtration systems, sized and installed to protect your pipes, appliances, and water quality.

Septic Tank & Drain Field

Septic tank and system cleaning plus drain field repair — keeping the whole system flowing the way it should.

Commercial Plumbing

Commercial drain cleaning, grease trap installation, and gas plumbing for restaurants, offices, and multi-tenant buildings.

How We Work

We Show Up With More Than a Plunger

We've invested in the best equipment in the trade, and our trucks roll out fully stocked — so the right tool for the job is already on board.

Hydro-Jetting

High-pressure jets clear roots and grease — no harsh chemicals, no half-measures.

HD Camera Inspection

We see inside the line and find the real problem before any digging begins.

Augers & Pro Tools

Fully Stocked Trucks

Every service vehicle carries what it takes to fix the issue on the first visit.

From Sean and Larry coming out late on a Saturday to the team that fixed it — the service was amazing. They explained everything, were courteous and professional, found another issue and fixed it without charging extra, and left my basement cleaner than they found it. I would hire these guys again and again.

Cody and Brad, Connor and Victor — our bathrooms required a significant amount of work. They were timely, professional and courteous, and completed an excellent job. We are totally satisfied and have already recommended them to other associates. Keep up the great work, Wally Blanton!

Was able to help us same day. We had a problem with a toilet that wouldn't flush — turns out my 2-year-old granddaughter had flushed a toy down it! They were very kind, prompt and helpful. Reasonably priced, great service. Would recommend to friends and family!

Had a failed septic line that led to the tank. Quick quote, came the next day and finished in about 5 hours. Got everything back to working order.
