Tangney & Sons Plumbing & Sewer

Jun 2023

Early on a Saturday morning, we discovered that our sewer had backed-up with raw sewage coming up the drain into our laundry room in the basement. Called our regular plumber and he recommended Tangney & Sons Plumbing & Sewers as his "go-to" resource for this type of work. I called and Joyce took my call, saying to sit tight and she'd get someone out to our home ASAP. She then called me back about 15 minutes later and said her technician would be calling me shortly. Shannon called and told me he'd be at our home between noon and 2:00pm and he showed-up right at noon ... ON A SATURDAY! He rotted-out our sewer drain, both towards the house and towards the street and we were back in business. Awesome job, awesome response, and fair pricing too.

The Village of Wilmette was replacing the surface of our street with bricks and recommended getting any sewer repair work done before the new surface was installed. A neighbor recommended Tangney so I asked them to come out and scope ours. They found a dry unused catch basin and a blocked sewer line. They estimated $5,500 to fill in the catch basin with gravel and $14,000 to excavate 12' of main sewer line under the street and install 12' of 6"PVC. They offered to do both jobs for $16,500. Co-ordinating with the Village, they scheduled the street excavation after the Village had removed the old surface and laid down a gravel base, and before the new surface was installed, minimizing the excavation and restoration effort. In the course of the job, they discovered 4-6' of broken sewer line under the front lawn, which they excavated and replaced for an additional $2,500. They filled in the catch basin in a few hours, and came back a few days later to do the street work. With a crew of 4 they completed the street and front lawn digging and restoration the same day. Highly recommended.

I have used this company twice and will continue to give them my plumbing business. They always explain everything going on...will give you the best prices and also come out in any weather in case you get caught in an emergency. I can't say enough good about them and they are very good working in older homes when often the plumbing configurations are not straightforward.
