Plumbing Service Process

Here's How We Get Your Plumbing Fixed

First, you call us and we give you a realistic timeframe—usually within an hour for emergencies. No vague “sometime this week” promises.

When our licensed plumber arrives, they’ll assess the problem and give you upfront pricing before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what it costs and what we’re going to do to fix it.

Then we get to work with the right tools and expertise to solve the problem correctly. We don’t just patch things up—we fix them so they stay fixed. After we’re done, we clean up our work area and make sure you’re completely satisfied with the repair.

Every job comes with our warranty on parts and labor because we stand behind our work.

Emergency plumbing rates in the Chicago area typically run 1.5 to 3 times higher than standard service calls, usually ranging from $170 to $500 per hour depending on the complexity of the problem. We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Simple repairs like fixing a leaky faucet might cost $150 to $350, while more complex issues like water heater replacement can range from $200 to $500 or more depending on the unit and installation requirements. We always give you a clear estimate and explain your options so you can make the best decision for your budget.
Yes, we specialize in same-day service and emergency response. For true emergencies like burst pipes, gas leaks, or sewer backups, we typically arrive within an hour of your call. Even for non-emergency repairs, we usually can get to your home the same day you contact us. We understand that plumbing problems don’t wait for convenient times. That’s why we maintain 24/7 availability and keep our trucks stocked with common parts and tools. This means we can often complete repairs on the first visit instead of having to come back with parts. Our goal is to minimize the disruption to your daily routine by getting your plumbing fixed quickly and correctly.
Absolutely. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform plumbing work in Prospect Heights and throughout Cook County. We maintain all required state and local licenses and carry comprehensive insurance protection for both our workers and your property. This isn’t just about meeting legal requirements—it’s about protecting you. When you hire an unlicensed plumber, you’re taking on liability risks and there’s no guarantee the work will meet code requirements. Our licensing means we stay current with Illinois plumbing codes and safety standards. We’re happy to provide proof of licensing and insurance before starting any work. It’s your right to ask, and any legitimate plumber should be able to provide this information immediately.
Yes, frozen pipe repair is one of our most common emergency calls during Chicago’s harsh winters. We have the specialized equipment and experience to safely thaw frozen pipes and repair any damage caused by bursting. The key with frozen pipes is acting fast. If you suspect your pipes are frozen, shut off your main water supply immediately and call us. We can often prevent pipes from bursting if we get there quickly enough. If pipes have already burst, we’ll stop the water damage and make permanent repairs. We also provide preventive services like pipe insulation and advice on protecting your plumbing during extreme cold snaps. Given Prospect Heights’ climate, it’s smart to have a plan in place before winter hits.
We provide a comprehensive one-year warranty on all parts and labor for our plumbing repairs. This means if something goes wrong with our work or the parts we installed within a year, we’ll come back and fix it at no charge to you. Our warranty covers the quality of our workmanship and the parts we install. If a repair fails due to our work, we take full responsibility. This doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or damage from other sources, but it does give you peace of mind that we stand behind what we do. We keep detailed records of all our work, so if you need warranty service, we have all the information about what was done and when. Just call us and we’ll take care of it promptly.
Yes, camera inspections are one of our most valuable diagnostic tools. We use high-definition cameras to see inside your pipes and sewer lines, which allows us to identify problems before they become major disasters. Camera inspections are especially important for homes in Prospect Heights given the age of many plumbing systems. We can spot tree root intrusion, pipe deterioration, blockages, and structural issues that aren’t visible from the surface. This helps us recommend the most cost-effective repair approach. The inspection gives you a clear picture of what’s happening inside your pipes, and we can show you the footage so you understand exactly what needs to be addressed. It’s much better to find and fix small problems now than to deal with a major sewer backup later.
