We are so grateful for your 5-star review. Thanks for sharing your rating with us and the community.
Bob was knowledgeable and thorough. No sales hype, rather Bob gave me a thoughtful explanation of my duct system and his recommendations.

Televised sewer from outside clean out in driveway 39 ft to cast to clay and then 70ft downstream. It appears that the sewer connects to the Metropolitan sewer via a drop connection into the manhole near the street. It looks like when the manhole was repaired and epoxy coated that they sealed off the tee portion that is for cleaning purposes that connects into the side of the manhole. Light is visible when the camera is pushed out and we can see that the water is flowing towards the tee that would drop down outside the manhole. Will revise quote for lining and then resend it back to customer.
Client asked for an estimate for a sewer lining project in Northbrook, IL. Sewer lining is a no-dig solution to repair and reinforce old pipes by creating a new, durable pipe inside the existing one. This method involves inserting a resin-coated liner into the pipe, which hardens to seal cracks, prevent root growth, and smooth out rough surfaces, improving flow and extending the pipe's lifespan. To line approximately 115 feet of sewer, the ballpark estimate was delivered to the client this morning.
Televised ducts under slab floor. Ducts are concrete ducts with metal fittings that are rusted and deteriorated. Some of the system has been abandoned and blocked off from the plenum, but the area in the dining room and kitchen are still active on this system below ground. Suggest spin cast mortaring metal fittings on the section that is still active, then spray lining the system with Duct Armor duct lining material to encapsulate the concrete pipes..
Cut access openings in the supply ducts in the basement. Cleaned all duct runs then applied first coat of Duct Armor to all duct runs and registers.
Televised duct to see if rocks were removed, but rock are still in the area where the kitchen elbows down to the living room. Spoke to homeowner who had not received the latest proposal from the contractor. She talked to contractor and he forwarded the proposal so she is able to see what it entails and what the cost is. She will be deciding next step. Informed her that if we are unable to clear rock that we would need to open floor under hardwood.
Televised ducts under slab floor. Ducts are pvc ducts with metal fittings that are very rusted. There is one location near kitchen and living room where there is a double turn making an elevation change where the stone is coming in from outside the pipe. Will attempt to clean and repair but that area may need to be excavated if it cannot be cleared and patched. After that the metal should be spin cast then the entire system spray lined with Duct Atmor duct lining material.
Applied trenchless sectional point repair to restore a leaking section of a cast iron drain line. Accessed the compromised area, prepped the interior surface, then pulled a polyester resin-saturated sleeve into the pipe which formed a new seamless pipe segment once cured in place.
I performed ductwork restoration services today at a residential property in Northbrook, Illinois. The scope of work included thoroughly cleaning all underground duct runs to remove built-up debris and contaminants. I also rebuilt and resealed the duct register boots where they penetrate through the floor to ensure a tight fit. After cleaning and preparation, I applied the initial coat of Duct Armor sealant to encapsulate and protect the interior duct surfaces. Duct Armor is an elastomeric coating that prevents moisture intrusion, inhibits mold growth, and improves airflow efficiency. Allowing proper curing time, a secondary coat will be applied to complete this duct sealing and rehabilitation project. Maintaining clean and properly sealed ductwork is critical for indoor air quality and HVAC system performance.
In Northbrook, IL, I successfully installed a 5-foot liner within the sewer line, terminating at the sewer main. This installation involved precise placement and curing of the liner to ensure a seamless integration with the existing infrastructure, enhancing pipe integrity and flow efficiency. The process included thorough preparation of the pipe interior and careful monitoring of the liner's adherence and function to guarantee long-term durability and effectiveness.
Applied second application of duct armor to all underground ductwork and supply line from basement.
Cleaned under slab ducts and applied first application of Duct Armor.
Televised ducts under slab floor. Ducts are concrete ducts that tested positive for asbestos. Suggest spray lining ducts with Duct Armor to encapsulate the concrete ducts.
I provided a detailed estimate for a trenchless sewer repair targeting a residential property's main sewer line. The estimate covered the costs of relining approximately 50 feet of damaged sewer pipe using a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) method. This trenchless technique involves inserting a resin-saturated felt tube into the existing sewer line, which then hardens to form a new, seamless pipe within the old one, effectively repairing it without extensive excavation.
