You’re cleaning up after a wonderful dinner with guests when you turn on the garbage disposal and nothing. Silence. And you’ve just jammed remains from a 3-course dinner down the drain. It’s terribly inconvenient and a smelly mess! Appliances we depend on wear out.
It’s that annoying dripping sound that keeps you up at night. But, it’s more than an irritant and a nuisance. Leaky faucets and running toilets in our homes waste an enormous amount of water and steal from family budgets each month.
When water builds up around the foundation of your home, the pressure pushes it through floors and walls. To relieve this pressure, your sump pump operates inside a pit dug in the lowest part of your basement where water drains from tiles installed under your foundation. The sump pump redirects water away from the house.
The annual transition from Midwest winters with freezing temperatures to 80˚ days can be hard on your home heating and cooling system. Your heating system worked hard all winter to keep us comfortably warm and now it needs to be readied for cooling.
Since 1918, Flader has satisfied plumbing needs within our community. We are proud of the feedback and comments of our valued customers. Here’s just a few.
We recently remodeled a bathroom that would require a plumber during demolition and then install new fixtures after the tiling was done. We contacted Flader Plumbing and Heating on the advice of a neighbor and are pleased to post this recommendation. From the initial on-site visit to scheduling, demolition, ordering new fixtures and installation, every one we dealt with was knowledgeable, prompt, and courteous and got the job done as promised – with special thanks to the plumber, Jeremy. We have no doubt we will call Flader Plumbing and Heating first the next time we have a project.

I just wanted to express my delight having someone with the skill set of my recent Flader technician, Greg. Greg did outstanding work he did for me in Evanston. Both were difficult projects. One was a knuckle buster valve, shower and cartridge job and the other was putting new Chicago faucet cartridges in 1910 fixtures! He got both projects done with efficiency and care.
