"Pat was wonderful. Very attentive and professional. Our water heater replacement was a huge challenge. It was located in a tight closet under a staircase and several gas lines had to be removed just to get it out. He then had to cut one of the top supply lines because the nut had seized up. Once he got it out and the new one was placed in, we realized the diameter was slightly larger then the old one was. After some maneuvering, it fit perfectly. One of the top supply lines had to be reconfigured, and another challenge was that it was hard to melt the soder to join the pipe together because of the difficulty to see, but Pat nailed it. No leaks! Great job! Highly recommended!"

"Victor installed a 40 gallon gas water heater. Victor gave me options during the estimate. Victor installed the gas water heater the same day. Victor was very professional during the whole process. I will probably hire Perma-seal again If all employees at Perma-seal are like Victor."

"I had a great experience with Eric, the owner of this company. He showed up on time. He was knowledgable and didn't fix anything unless it required to be fixed. I had quite a bit of plumbing needs in my basement. I needed a new water heater, toilet, and sump pump. I was planning on removing the old water softener, but he managed to get it up and running. He installed new valves to replace the awful saddle valves that were there from previous owners. I knew from previous experience, that saddle valves would end up leaking if they were not taken care of. He was also REASONABLY priced. He wasn't scary high or oddly low. As a single mother, I felt safe in his presence and did not feel taken advantage of regarding the work involved. Eventually I will need to replace the water shut off valve and put in a new bathroom vanity. I will definitely hire him again! I'm so relieved to find a knowledgable plumber that does not take advantage of unknowledgeable people and who charge a reasonable and fair rate. Thank you Eric for the amazing work you have completed for me! I will be calling you soon!"

"I went onto a website at 7:00 am in the morning and filled out information stating that I needed a plumber to replace a faulty toilet that my landlord, Amy Read was refusing to replace. Jeff Fendt called me at 7:01 am and said that he could send someone, Steven, at 11:00 am that morning and I couldn't have been happier! Steven not only brought the new toilet but he had the happiest, most easy going personality to go along with his hard working ethics and could not have been any kinder to me, a disabled person. He did a fantastic job! Jeff Fendt also came to my home to deliver an unexpected part that we needed. The price was very good, much better than quoted by NorthShore Plumbers. The next time you need some plumbing work, Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of McHenry County @ 815 679 6773"
