Lakeland Park is one of McHenry’s established waterfront communities, with homes near the chain of lakes, mature trees, and a neighborhood where people put down roots for the long term. Homes that have been around for a while often have plumbing to match. Older pipes, aging water heaters, and sump pumps that have seen too many spring thaws these are the realities of homeownership in Lakeland Park. Helton Plumbing Hero has been serving Lakeland Park and the surrounding McHenry communities since 2005. Family-owned and women-operated, we’re the local plumber Lakeland Park residents call when they need the job done right.

Plumbing Services We Offer in Lakeland Park
Water Heater Repair and Installation
Cold water in a Lakeland Park home isn’t something anyone wants to deal with, especially heading into an Illinois winter. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters, including Bradford White units, with same-day service available.
Drain Cleaning
Slow drains and recurring clogs are a normal part of life in an older home. We clear kitchen, bathroom, and floor drains completely, not just temporarily, and can identify buildup or damage deeper in the line before it becomes a bigger problem.
Sump Pump Repair and Installation
With proximity to the lake and McHenry’s wet springs, a reliable sump pump isn’t optional in Lakeland Park. We repair and replace sump pumps, install battery backup systems, and make sure your basement stays dry when the rain hits.
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement
Older sewer lines in established neighborhoods like Lakeland Park are prone to root intrusion and pipe deterioration. We camera-inspect and repair sewer lines before recommending excavation so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before any work starts.
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks in supply lines, under slabs, and behind walls can do serious damage before they’re ever noticed. We locate water, sewer, and gas leaks and repair them completely.
Ejector Pump Repair
Below-grade laundry rooms and bathrooms common in McHenry homes depend on ejector pumps. When they fail, it’s a sewage situation; we repair and replace them quickly.
Gas Line Repair and Installation
We repair leaking gas lines and install new gas lines for appliances and outdoor fixtures. If you smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility first, then call us
Fixture Installation and Repair
New faucets, sinks, toilets, and shower fixtures installed correctly for the first time.

Plumbing FAQ Lakeland Park
Q: Do you serve Lakeland Park?
A: Yes. Lakeland Park is part of our McHenry service area. We’ve been serving homeowners in this neighborhood since 2005.
Q: My home in Lakeland Park is older; are there plumbing issues I should be watching for?
A: Older homes in established McHenry neighborhoods like Lakeland Park often have aging galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that corrode over time, original clay sewer lines that are susceptible to root intrusion, and water heaters that are well past their expected lifespan. A plumbing inspection can catch problems before they become emergencies. Call us if you have specific concerns.
Q: My basement sump pump failed during a storm; can you help?
A: Yes. Sump pump failure during a rain event is one of the most common emergency calls we get in the McHenry area. We repair and replace sump pumps and can install battery backup systems, so you have a second line of defense if the power goes out during the next storm.

Q: How do I know if my sewer line has root intrusion?
A: Signs include slow drains throughout the house, recurring clogs in the same line, gurgling sounds from toilets, and sewage odor. Camera inspection confirms it; we put a camera in the line and show you exactly what we find before any excavation is recommended.
