Water Service Line Replacement

Lead Water Service Line Replacement

Lead pipes are a hidden danger in many homes. They pose a serious health risk due to their ability to contaminate drinking water with lead. This is particularly alarming in Illinois, where the Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act mandates the replacement of these hazardous pipes. Homeowners are crucial in this initiative, needing to identify and replace lead pipes, often with financial aid available for assistance. For a healthier future, it’s essential to act now.

Contact Behm Enterprises for expert guidance and support in making your home lead-free and safe. Protect your family’s health with Behm’s trusted services.

A few words from our customers…

Recently worked on a horizontal boring project under our parking lot for an electric gate install at our business. Bob was excellent to work with throughout the project and his crew did a great job. I would highly recommend Behm Enterprises.

Bob said he wouldn’t be able to get to our broken septic pipe for a month. 2 days later he found an opening and sent guys out to fix it. Outstanding, friendly, and expert service!

I worked with Bob Behm to install a watermain on my property using directional drilling. He also installed the connection to my house, including the inside plumbing work. Behm was referred to me by my local village engineer. The entire process took 8 months from start to finish. There were a lot of "hoops to jump through" with the local government agencies, but Bob was patient and helpful during the entire time. The end result was perfect. We passed inspection the first time, and I've been enjoying clean city water since April 2022. I would hire Behm Enterprises again and would highly recommend them to any homeowner. The prices were reasonable too!

I found Bob to be more reasonable than a competitor who is also in Lakemoor. Bob and his staff were able to get my sewer drain quickly and were great about cleaning up and putting my shrubs back. He was highly recommended by my plumber, my cousin and a plumbing inspector. I am very happy with the work he did and how he quickly took care of my repair. I would highly recommend him.
