Who To Call For 24 Hour Plumbing Service In Chicagoland.



At MNN Plumbing, we understand that your plumbing needs don't always occur between 9 and 5.


It's 3 a.m. and a pipe just burst. Is your current plumber going to take the call? Or, is he or she in a deep sleep, with zero intentions of plumbing until the next day. At MNN, we do get sleep, but in shifts. We make sure to have someone available to help you out in your emergency.


The last thing anyone wants is a downpour in their bedroom. When it happens, we frantically scramble around, not exactly what to do or whom to call. We try to stop the burst pipe with a hand towl or the nearest shirt. Quickly we realize our efforts are futile and we stand there soaked and confused. Put down the sopped shirt and pick up the phone. We will take that call. We will send one of our experts out expeditiously.

Plumbing emergencies don't schedule themselves. They show up unannounced and can do great damage to your home and bank account. You can't wait until 9 a.m. for service if your pipe bursts at 4 a.m. By then, you would have to paddle your way out.

Know this; Morning Noon and Night stands by our name and guarantee that we WILL be there for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week! We will take that call! So don't hesitate to pick up the phone anytime! From the smallest leak to the largest flood, we can handle it.

Don't Use Harmful Chemicals To Unclog Your Drain.

Use common sense when deciding what to put down your sink's garbage disposal. Drains and garbage disposals are not trash cans. The day after a major holiday is typically the busiest time for plumbers. Large crowds with subsequently large meals result in everything from turkey bones to potato skins being thrown in the disposal. Even if the manual says that a disposal will effectively grind a golf ball, use caution when throwing items into the sink. Disposals were created to catch food remnants from dishes, not to dissolve full meals. When in doubt, use the trash.

Don't use harmful chemicals to unclog your drain. Those harsh chemicals can do more harm than good with repeated and frequent use.

The toilet is not a trash can either - Much like a disposal, the toilet isn't designed to dispose of anything but human waste. Don't risk a clogged toilet by putting items inside of it that could have easily gone in the trash can.

Be careful what goes in the laundry - A washing machine has a filter to catch various particles on clothing but it is not designed for major overloads of hair, dirt, or debris. Use caution when washing pet items, heavily soiled items, or rubber-backed rugs. Clean or shake off items before placing them in the washing machine to prevent clogs or more extensive damage.

These are a few tips to avoid costly repairs. Call us today for all of your plumbing needs, Morning Noon And Night!

The Dangers Of Pouring Drano Down The Toilet Bowl

Drano down the toilet bowl??? No!!!!!!!

Most Plumbers preach against the use of Drano and other harmful chemicals that claim to unclog anything. In some cases, it can be very effective. But to what extent?

In the case of toilets, any chemical you put in the toilet is going to stay there for some time, since the bowl fills with water and is slow to drain without flushing, the chemicals can settle onto the porcelain. Plumbers will tell you this is a bad thing because the chemicals in Liquid Plumr and Drano can heat up while standing in the bowl. This can result in a few expensive scenarios. The harsh chemicals could possibly crack the bowl, meaning you will have to replace the entire commode. It is even possible for the concoction to explode, leading to replacement of fixtures, furniture, and perhaps walls in your bathroom. Both are much more expensive than calling a us to manually repair the clog.

If you have non-galvanized pipes from yesteryear, Drano will eat through them like a hungry shark. Your best bet when facing a clog is a plunger. Yep. Simple, but effective. If that doesn't work? Call Us! We will quickly identify the culprit and remove it while preserving your pipes and porcelain.

How Can I Maintain My Garbage Disposal?

Minimize the Use of Your Garbage Disposal

If you’re able to compost vegetable waste at home, you can dispose of material like vegetable peels, cuttings, stems, seeds and coffee grounds by composting. Composting allows you to convert these waste items into a valuable soil amendment that you can use in your garden. Find out more about composting and compost bins. Save your disposal for the necessary stuff.

Dispose of Liquid Materials in the Garbage Disposal - If they’re not hazardous or made up primarily of fats or oils, liquids are safe to put in the garbage disposal.

A common garbage disposal complaint is bad odors. This is often due to a failure to run enough water through and ensure everything is adequately flushed out. To keep your disposal fresh and clean, consider the following tips:

Grind Thoroughly - Make sure you allow adequate time for everything to get ground and flushed with water. Leftover particles cause odors.

Clean Regularly - At least once a week, take a bottle brush and scrub inside the disposal. This small maintenance step will go a long way in keeping your disposal fresh.

Grab Citrus - Fresh orange, lemon, or limes can help cut grease and eliminate odors. Simply grind pieces in the disposal.

Vinegar is Good - Freeze some vinegar in ice cube trays and blend in the disposal. This helps to eliminate bacteria which can cause odor.

If you are careful with what you put through your disposal, and keep it clean, it should provide you with many years of carefree service.

How Do I Keep My Appliances In Good Condition For Years To Come?

It's pretty safe to say that most people aren't complaining that the water pressure in their home is too high. Typically, people can't get enough! So why would anyone want to install a pressure reducing valve in their home? Well, there are several pretty good reasons...

We all know appliances aren't cheap to replace. When spending that kind of money on an appliance you'll want to protect your investment and ensure it lasts for years to come. When the water pressure is too high it places stress on your appliances, dramatically reducing its lifespan. This applies to any appliance connected to a water line.

The same also applies to your home's fixtures. Finding a comfortable balance between what your fixtures can handle and how much water pressure it takes to get all of the conditioner out of your hair is important. Installing a pressure reducing valve could also save you money in the long run since you won't be using as much water.

The water pressure in most Chicagoland homes is around 40-45 psi and should not exceed 60 psi. If you find that your home does exceed that number you could risk a plumbing catastrophe. One of the most devastating things that can happen to your home is a flood, and a common catalyst is a burst washing machine hose. Think of how flimsy that rubber washing machine hose is, pair that with high pressured water gushing through your washing machine and you have a disaster waiting to happen.

Have your water pressure checked to preserve the life of your home and the appliances in it. Contact Chicago area Morning Noon and Night Plumbing at 773-880-0072 or online at www.morningnoonandnightplumbing.com for assistance with any of your plumbing needs.
