When you have tough clogs, call in the professionals at J. Blanton Plumbing. We have the tools and experience to provide you with expert drain cleaning so the water will be flowing freely in no time. Much deeper and more serious clogs are caused by tree roots or pipes that have become damaged.

One of the least thought about appliances in your Chicago home is also one of the most important: your water heater.

Do you ever wonder about the water quality in your Chicago home? City water is treated to be free of germs and bacteria, but the treatment process leaves behind chemicals that can leave your water with a smell or flavor that makes it less than appetizing. Make sure you have the best water in Chicago with water filtration from J. Blanton Plumbing. Water filtration will remove any residual treatment chemicals that affect the flavor and scent of your water. It can also remove minerals and soften your water, so you don't end up with mineral deposits on your spigots.

If your Chicago home has a basement, chances are you'll eventually experience flooding down there. We have a high water table, so every significant rain shower has the potential to raise the groundwater high enough to invade your basement. Instead of trying to figure out how to remove the water after the flood, call J. Blanton Plumbing to have a sump pump installed. Sump pumps are one of the most effective ways to keep water out of your basement. Installed in a sump pit dug at the lowest point in your basement, they have sensors that detect when water is accumulating in the pit and automatically pump water away from your basement before it can overflow the pit and flood your basement.
