Addressing Common Utility Challenges in Bloomington-Normal

The Bloomington-Normal area’s climate and water quality present unique challenges. At TCI, we provide solutions tailored to these local issues.

  • Winter Weather & Sump Pumps: Frigid winters put pipes at serious risk. We specialize in frozen and burst pipe repair and can insulate vulnerable pipes in basements or crawl spaces. With Central Illinois’ heavy rains, a functioning sump pump is critical. We offer maintenance and replacement to ensure your basement stays dry.
  • Sewer Backups & Hard Water: Blockages from tree roots or grease are common. Remember to call the city first for potential municipal line issues, then call us for expert repairs on your private line. The area’s very hard water (>88 PPM) can damage pipes and appliances. We can advise on and install water softeners to protect your plumbing.
  • Irrigation System Care: Proper winterization is essential to prevent freeze damage to your irrigation system. Local codes also require certified backflow prevention devices to protect the public water supply, a service our licensed technicians provide.
