We all know how humid it can get in Chicago during the summer. You feel sticky and uncomfortable. But, humidity is not just an outdoor thing. Your home can be an uncomfortably humid environment too.
A clogged toilet can cause a momentary feeling of helplessness, but don’t panic. Before you make that emergency call to Flader Plumbing, there are a few things you need to know and a few steps you can take.
A good sump pump is your first line of defense against a basement flood – whether caused by a storm, power failure, or a plumbing issue. Even if your basement is unfinished, your furnace, water heater, washer, and dryer are at risk of shorting out. Water in the basement also damages the foundation and fosters mold and mildew.
Clogged drains always seem to pop up at inconvenient times. Or they build up so slowly over time that we do not realize they’re clogged until we notice, during a shower, that the water level is at our ankles.
To keep your heating and air conditioning in the best condition for proper performance, put your okay on a service contract with Flader Plumbing & Heating.
If you are considering a new furnace or air conditioner for your home, you’ll hear the term “Variable Speed” and see the letters “VRV-VRF” in reviewing product specifications and sales materials. What do these mean? More importantly, are they worth the cost attached to equipment with these advanced features? Here are your answers.
If low water pressure follows you from your shower to your kitchen sink and on to your washing machine, you may have a real problem.
When preparing to heap your table high with food, here are a few tips to make your holiday eco-friendly.
Protecting cast iron heating systems is a continuous challenge. Homes and buildings with a hot water boiler system struggle with properly maintaining the corrosive cast iron piping and fixtures.
It’s time to transition from your air conditioning system – that worked so hard to cool you during our humid summer months – to switching-on your furnace to ready your home for Midwest winter temperatures.

Thank you sending Kevin to rod our sewer line. He’s very professional and his expertise is apparent. You have a great employee. I enjoyed meeting him.

Thank you for getting to my home so quickly. The wire filter in my laundry tub went down my drain and clogged the pipe. Only a professional could nab it before serious damage was done. Life lesson leaned on this end to never, ever use those wire lint traps. Thanks again for helping to get this done so quickly.

Your technician just completed service on the furnace at my law office. I want to thank everyone at Flader – from the person who answered the phone to the on-site tech – for their friendly, helpful, and responsive service. Thanks again.

While rushing to my emergency but stopped in traffic, Scott from Flader called and talked me through preliminary steps. He was awesome. I really appreciate it. Thanks. And Happy New Year.

Doug Flader and Flader Plumbing is a company you can trust. Our block is in the middle of lead abatement and I hired Flader to replace our line in the front yard and in the basement. While we were on vacation the city replacing the lines in the street needed to get into all the houses. I overnighted my house key to Doug so he could let them in and watch over. I’m a loyal, trusting customer.

The Flader Team went skyward with a huge crane to land the units on the rooftop.In just 2½ days, the transformation was completed.Click “See our Work” to view more success stories.
