"Refiguring of Water line work for the tankless water heater was supposed to be performed with water shut off valve. Work was agreed to have started on Wednesday August 20th, 2025 exactly at 9am. My contractor and I made it really clear that our building, lake point tower, has given us 2 hour shutoff notice to the building residents and the work has to be started at 9 am sharp for the water shutoff process to start. We waited with the team of building engineer, maintenance and our contractor but the plumber did not show up , when called he said he was still on on his way at 9:40 am. They knew that time was of the essence. I called J Blanton office very upset they apologized and said to reschedule for next week and they will be very careful and prompt. We scheduled for the second time for work to start on Tuesday August 26th, 2025 at 9am sharp. The building engineer and maintenance notified the residents 48 hours in advance for the second time for the work to be performed on Tuesday August 26th, 2025 at 9am sharp. We made it very clear to J Blanton that this is a high rise building and shutoff time is dedicated to this job exactly at 9am and they have to be prompt and present on time. J Blanton promised they will appear on time and we should not have any problems. Well, again same thing happened. After their office emailed us today on August 26th at 7:59am that they have dispatched a plumber and he is on his way, plumber called at 8 am and said he will not be able to make it at 9am. We were very upset and furious to hear this response. This was the second time they left us hanging. Complete utter disregard for time and responsibility. They showed no responsibility, professionalism and no commitment to the word they had given us for such an important matter. For each water shutoff schedule building is charging homeowners $500. We lost two weeks of work and JB Plumbing shown no care or concern for the importance of scheduling this very time sensitive work and all the details that went into to arrange the water shutoff."

Chicagoland's Reliable Home Improvement Company servicing the City of Chicago and most suburbs. We specialize in full remodels of kitchens, bathrooms, condos and basements. We do not offer repair work or partial remodels. Celebrating 25 years in business.

"Miro redid our kitchen and half bath and we're thrilled with the results. We got a few quotes and ultimately went with Homewise Remodelers because the price was reasonable and Miro was so thorough in walking us through our options. He helped us select cabinets and worked through several versions of the kitchen layout until we were happy with it--we were easily able to swap out cabinet layouts and finishings, like adding a farmhouse sink. His crew were reliable, on-time, and respectful of our property throughout the remodel and we appreciated their attention to detail. They solicited our input on decorative details and were quick to fix things we didn't like, e.g., the location of kitchen cabinet pulls. We felt they treated our home as they would their own. The project even wrapped up a few days early. We would absolutely recommend Homewise Remodelers and choose them for future projects."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Skokie, 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.
