Toilet repair, faucet leak repairs, water leak repair in basements, fixture replacements, drain cleaning, water heater issues, and sewer line problems. If water flows through it in your house, we can fix it.

Oak Lawn’s older homes come with their own set of challenges. Cast iron pipes that finally gave up, original fixtures that can’t find replacement parts, and basement moisture issues that turn into bigger problems. We’ve seen it all and we stock our trucks accordingly.

The goal isn’t just to stop the immediate problem. It’s to fix it in a way that prevents the same issue from happening again next month.

Most common repairs like fixing a leaky faucet or toilet repair range from $150 to $400, depending on what’s actually wrong and what parts are needed. Water leak repair can vary more widely based on location and severity – a simple pipe joint might be $200, while a main line issue could be $800 or more. We always give you the exact price upfront before starting any work, so you know what you’re paying before we pick up a wrench.
Yes, for most repairs we can get to you the same day you call, especially for urgent issues like water leaks or toilet problems. We keep our trucks stocked with common parts for Oak Lawn homes, so we can usually complete the repair on the first visit. Emergency situations like burst pipes or sewer backups get priority scheduling, and we’re available 24/7 for those calls that can’t wait until morning.
We warranty both our labor and the parts we install. Most repairs come with a one-year warranty, which means if the same problem comes back because of our work or a defective part, we return and fix it at no charge. This doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or new problems, but it does cover the specific repair we performed. We stand behind our work because we want it fixed right the first time as much as you do.
Absolutely. Many Oak Lawn homes have original fixtures from the 60s and 70s, and we work on these older faucets regularly. Sometimes it’s a simple washer or O-ring replacement, other times the internal components need updating. We carry parts for most vintage fixtures, and when original parts aren’t available, we can retrofit with modern components that will last longer than the originals. We’ll let you know upfront if a faucet is worth repairing or if replacement makes more sense.
Yes, basement water leaks are common in Oak Lawn’s older homes, and we handle everything from supply line leaks to drain backups. The key is identifying whether it’s a plumbing issue, a foundation issue, or both. We can repair leaking pipes, replace corroded fittings, and install sump pump systems. For foundation-related moisture problems, we’ll be honest about what’s in our wheelhouse and what requires a different specialist.
First, shut off the water if you can – either at the fixture or at the main shutoff valve, usually located near where the water line enters your house. Then call us right away. We handle true emergencies 24/7, including burst pipes, sewer backups, and major leaks. Don’t try to make temporary repairs with duct tape or pipe clamps unless you absolutely have to – these often make the permanent repair more complicated and expensive.
