The seminar was recommended by many of the City/Village inspectors and was for the residents of all the Northshore suburbs and Chicago. We were founded by Jeff Parks who still actively runs the company as president. He is a master plumber and a college graduate from Elmhurst College. He has also furthered his activities into successfully completing his second degree black belt in Kenpo Karate as well as becoming a licensed boat captain by the United States Coast Guard. Jeff's father, Joe Poczatek, was a graduate mechanical engineer, a licensed plumber, and was an engineering and plumbing inspector in Skokie and in Aurora. Before entering the plumbing field Joe was the Senior Scientific Adviser for GATX (General American Transportation Corp.)

Did the rain find its way into your basement? 🌧️

Chicago just saw a lot of rain, and unfortunately that’s when many homeowners discover small plumbing or sewer issues that weren’t obvious before. If you noticed water in your basement, damp spots on the walls, slow drains, or any sewer smells, it may be a sign that your drainage or sewer system needs attention.

At Parks Plumbing & Sewer, we specialize in helping Chicago homeowners solve basement flooding and sewer problems before they become bigger headaches.

If something doesn’t seem right after the storm, it’s always better to check it early.

FREEZING TEMPS AHEAD❗️

Prevent Frozen Pipes
Take the following precautions to prevent your pipes from freezing:

1️⃣Allow a continuous trickle of water to flow through faucet(s)
2️⃣Seal any leaks around doors or windows to reduce drafts
3️⃣Open cabinet doors in the kitchen and bathrooms to allow the heat from the house to circulate
4️⃣Wrap interior piping running along outside walls with pipe insulation or heat tape.

One sign that your interior piping may be frozen: If you observe a reduced trickle of water from your faucet, don’t attempt to thaw a frozen pipe yourself using an open flame.

Contact a qualified plumbing contractor to do the work. 847-676-1931

🚨 Important Update for Skokie Residents 🚨

The Village of Skokie recently sent out letters notifying residents about lead and galvanized water service lines. Lead in drinking water can pose serious health risks — especially for children and pregnant women.

💧 Here’s What You Need to Know:
✔️ The Village will replace the public side of your service line for free.
✔️ As the homeowner, you’re responsible for the private side of the line.
✔️ This means you’ll need a licensed plumber to safely replace your portion of the service line.

That’s where we come in. At Parks’ Plumbing & Sewer, we’ve been Skokie’s trusted, local, family-owned plumbing experts for 45+ years. From full service line replacements to flood control and plumbing solutions, we have the experience to get the job done right.

✅ Licensed plumbers
✅ Transparent, fair pricing
✅ Local expertise you can count on

📞 Call us today at (847) 676-1931 to schedule your free estimate and learn more about replacing your lead or galvanized water service line.

Let’s keep Skokie’s water safe together. 💧

02/14/2025

To our Village of Skokie and City of Evanston residents, we are aware that many residents are experiencing little to no water pressure in your homes. We have been notified by the Village of a significant water main break located at Emerson St. and East Prairie Rd that occured at 5:15 am. Please be advised that the Village is working on fixing the issue. In the meantime, there is a boil water order issued. • Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for five minutes, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in water. Community members should avoid non-essential tap water use.

Thank you, Ed G., for sharing your 5-star experience with Parks' Plumbing & Sewer! 🌟

'So we have been using Parks for quite some time. We had flood control put in and have them rod out our sewer line regularly. A few years ago we were shown on the camera that there was a break in the line from the house to the main... This year it had gotten to where it needed repair... We were told [lining] was an option. It came in only $200 more than the repair. Now the entire pipe is lined and we are done! No more rodding or worrying about other breaks. The Parks team was efficient and professional. We didn't even know they had been there they are so neat. Matt was very fair and easy to work with.'

We're so glad we could provide you with a permanent solution, Ed! At Parks, we take pride in providing efficient, seamless work and giving our customers peace of mind. Whether it's flood control installation, maintenance, or expert pipe repair, we've got your back.
