"DO NOT RECOMMEND - had to work with Jason and his staff twice in a short period of time due to 2 claims. The first claim appeared to go well that I utilized him for a second claim. I say appear on the first claim because the grout they used is not holding and I have areas in the floor that a couple of months the grout is cracking and coming out. On the second repair - it has been almost a year and after providing a 50% down payment the work has still not been completed. The workers cut corners and wanted to charge me additional for painting rooms that were included in the claim. They left a majority of my furniture in the garage and wall fixture's off. When the baseboard was broken and asked to be replaced they tried to fix it instead of filing a supplemental claim with the insurance company. When I no longer could afford time away from work and asked to correct the issues from the first claim (grout) I was ghosted. DO NOT RECOMMEND unless you are paying out of pocket and are ok with"

"I had my air ducts cleaned by TopTec and couldn’t be more impressed. Mostapha and Jesus were the technicians, and they were both fantastic — super professional, friendly, and incredibly thorough. They took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and treated my home with care and respect. The results speak for themselves. If you're considering duct cleaning, don’t look any further. TopTec is the real deal!"

"I had reached out because my sewer line was backing up and flooding my basement. They answered the phone first call and scheduled to come the following day. When they arrived they were polite, professional and took care of the issue. I highly recommend this company and will only call them moving forward 10/10! "

"I can’t say enough about this company, or about Christian, who helped me with what I thought was a simple problem that absolutely wasn’t. He spent 11 hours over three days trying to help me get to the bottom and then resolve a branch clog that wasn’t reaching my main sewer line. And he did this with expertise, compassion, and without ripping up anything in my house. I was also charged an extremely fair price for this intensive work. I will come back to this company every time I need help."

"I coordinated the work with Mr. Rooter's home office. Unfortunately, they didn't relay to the technician that he needed certain materials to get the job done. This caused about a 60 minutes of extra time for the technician to search around for the part and then go pick it up. Other than that, the water heater gas control valve was successfully installed and I've got hot water again."

"Danny D, Jerry, and Adam, y’all are stuck with me as a client lol. They provided excellent service, funny, kind, accommodating and explained all that they were doing and all of our goals in maintaining my plumbing. They went above and beyond and I know in the future this is my go to team for our plumbing needs. They showed up last year and this year and just taught me so much in maintaining my home system and their expertise!!!"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Chicago, IL

Warning signs include fluctuating water temperatures, a pilot light that repeatedly goes out, unusual noises from the tank, or complete heating failure. You might also detect a rotten egg smell, indicating a potential gas leak, or notice water that never reaches the proper temperature. If your water heater is over eight years old and displaying these symptoms, the gas valve is a likely culprit. Professional inspection is recommended, especially if gas odors are present.

Water heater gas valves are not universally interchangeable. Each valve must match your specific water heater's make, model, and specifications. Important compatibility factors include gas type (natural gas vs. propane), BTU rating, connection types, and physical dimensions. Using an incorrect valve can result in poor performance, premature failure, or dangerous gas leaks. Always consult your water heater's documentation or a professional plumber to identify the appropriate replacement valve for your unit.
