Leaking Toilet

Lon, how much water does a leaking toilet waste?” A leaking “flapper” wastes a gallon of water per-minute, 1,440 gallons a day which totals, 43,000 gallons per-month.  However, a leaking “overflow tube” uses up to 8,600 gallons a day, that’s 259,200 gallons a month!  Toilet, faucet, tub spout, or garden shutoff valve leaks – Ask Lon!  847-636-0771

Basement Remodeling and Repairs

Testimonial: The Gil Family wrote: “Lon, The doors and basement look great! Thank you so very much…” 

Project Details: Remove mold and water damaged drywall from basement. Replace drywall, prime and paint.

During demolition, the client expressed her desire to have more space in the family room. Working together the Gil’s approved an idea to reverse a closet thereby sealing off the wall to provide access to more useable space within the family room and new closet.  We also imbedded plywood to attach/secure a TV wall mount system and provided Mr. Gil with a new electrical supply.

Outcome: Practically, we captured more closet space by reversing it, secured a flexible shelving system, attached a new closet door and provide the Gil’s with access to critical HVAC diverters which were buried by a previous contractor.

Mrs. Olson said: ” Lon, I have been completely pleased with the work you did on my home.  It is too bad all the renovations were to sell the home because it would have been nice to enjoy the work you did.  Not only was the work done to my specifications, but your recommendations and improvements on my plans were excellent, your work was thorough, you were clean, and respected my home.  I will definitely recommend you to my friends and neighbors. Thanks again for all of your help.”
