Built on Decades of Experience
Experience matters in plumbing because every home and every issue is different. Seasoned plumbers like ours have seen it all, whether it be aging pipes and flooded basements or complex remodels and new installations. That firsthand knowledge means faster problem-solving, fewer surprises, and smarter long-term solutions.
Rooted in Peoria, IL
Our team knows the homes, neighborhoods, and plumbing challenges unique to this area, from soil conditions and water quality to local building codes and the impact of Peoria’s unpredictable weather. Just as important, we offer fast response times, dependable follow-up, and personalized service built on reputation, not transactions.
Real People, Real Service

"Derek was wonderful to work with. He kept me updated all throughout the job. The waterline repair was scheduled and completed promptly in the worst of winter temperatures. I will highly recommend Paluska Plumbing to all my friends and neighbors. They deserve 7 stars!"

"Ethan presented a great first impression for your company. Very friendly and personable from the start. Great personable young man. Unfortunately, Moen sent a defective screw for the shower valve and didn't send the stop guide for the valve. Not a problem though, replacements are on their way and I'll take care of it myself because Ethan took the time to make sure I understood how to! Thanks so much!"

"Early for the job, very professional, friendly, and kind. Caring about the work and explaining everything that needed to be done and why. You have a customer for life with me, my family and anyone that ever asks me whom to recommend. Jake is a great guy and knows what he is doing very well. Made a bad day a 1000 better. Thank you and thank you Jake for caring. I don’t think I can recommend anyone higher!!!"

"The process for the installation of a new hot water heater from start to finish was amazing. Great communication every step of the way. And to the installer, Jorge and crew, I cannot say enough, very professional and respectful to our home. Jorge was very knowledgeable as he answered every question I had. Great job!"
