McHenry Heating has been our go to company for over 15 years, and we have always been happy with their work and products! They installed our furnace and air, and we used the plumbing service when the gas company found a small leak. Same day service.<br>Jeremy is our Heating and air technician, and he also services our on demand Water Heater. Great guy and excellent at his job!! Love this Company!

Straight answers
Common questions about emergency plumbing.
Every home and system is different. These answers help you prepare; an on-site diagnosis confirms the right next step.
Ask another questionWhat should I do during an active leak?
If it is safe and you know the correct valve, shut off the affected fixture or main water supply, then call.
Is every plumbing issue an emergency?
No. Active water damage, sewage exposure, loss of essential service or safety concerns deserve urgent attention.
Can I use chemical drain cleaner first?
Avoid mixing chemicals. They can create hazards for occupants and technicians and may not address the actual blockage.

We called McHenry Plumbing on Friday to get an estimate to repair the hot water heater issue and discussed the situation with them. Based on the quote we received and age of the unit we decided to replace it. They scheduled us on Monday. The two plumbers arrived when scheduled and were professional and pleasant and were finished in about 2.5-3 hours. I would recommend this company and will use them in the future if we need their services.
Excellent service! Our sump pump went out and we had water in the basement, McHenry Plumbing (Heating & Air) sent Butch over asap. I can't say enough about Butch, he was excellent! He took the time to explain everything to me, such a nice guy, very professional and great to work with! Thanks so much!
