We are a Family Operated Business
Ziggy Jonak was born in Poland and immigrated to Austria at the age of 19, where he began building both his life and his career. In Austria, Ziggy also began his trade in 1988, spending six years training under masters of the craft in the specialized field of hydronics.
That experience shaped the precision, discipline, and workmanship that continue to define his work today.
At age 26, Ziggy moved to Chicago, bringing with him strong trade training, a deep respect for craftsmanship, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Just three years later, in 1999, he founded Advanced Plumbing, a fully licensed and certified plumbing company that first specialized in the installation of high-end designer plumbing fixtures.
Our Story
From the beginning, Advanced Plumbing built its reputation through quality work, attention to detail, and exceptional customer care. Over the years, the company has grown almost entirely through referrals from satisfied clients — a reflection of the trust Ziggy and his team have earned through every project.
As commercial and industrial referrals expanded, Advanced Plumbing found its niche in directional boring and trenchless exterior water and sewer installations. Even as the company’s services evolved, the same level of precision and care expected in high-end interior plumbing remained the standard for every job.
Today, Ziggy serves not only as a contractor, but also as a consultant and trusted expert for architects and engineers, often contributing to project management and construction coordination. At Advanced Plumbing, customer satisfaction is not just a goal — it is the heart of the company’s culture and the reason its business continues to grow through word of mouth.
