@Gerard Leeson No problem.....let us know what you find! Share some pics of your findings.

@Gerard Leeson ....My gut check says it is a supply line to one of those sinks you mentioned because of the "constant" nature.  With an exterior leak you tend to see an intermittent type issue.

If the supplies are copper lines, have you experienced any other "pin hole" leaks in the building?

@Abdessettar Ibourki ... My general rule of thumb is to earn a 30% ROI on the improvement. $10,000 invested should equal $3,000 in additional annual income (rent increase of $250/month). Be sure to understand what the market will support in rents to avoid over improving.

Good luck!

@Mark Ainley gets a strong recommendation from me as well.......they have very good experience in this part of the city.

@S Harper Thanks for sharing...these look amazing!  Please post the links, I will definitely check them out.

Have a great day!

@John Warren @Ashley Pimsner I could not agree more with both of you!!  Thanks for posting this and please get involved if you are in the Illinois market. Spread the word and take action!!

@Rodney Wright....I have the Chicago Controls thermostats in my multi-family units as well and they have been a huge help!!  Be advised though...if you have long term tenants that have been use to 80+ degrees ....there will be a learning curve :)

Good luck!

@Brie Schmidt - Can't wait for this event as well!!  Last year was amazing and I am 100% confident you will raise the bar even higher this year! 

Noel....any updates to share? Would really appreciate to hear your follow up so far!

Thanks in advance!

Check Chicago Controls...they offer temp limiting and auto set ba k thermostats. I've installed them in my 8 unit building with gas boiler this fall and have already seen a difference....in the gas bill and tenants mindset.

Best of luck!
