Complete Plumbing Repair Solutions

Every plumbing repair service includes diagnostic assessment, professional repair work, and post-repair testing to ensure everything works properly. We handle burst pipes, clogged drains, water heater failures, sewer backups, and frozen pipe emergencies.

Chicago’s brutal winters demand specialized knowledge. We know how to thaw frozen pipes without causing damage, prevent future freeze-ups, and handle the unique challenges that come with the city’s older housing stock and harsh weather conditions.

Our service area covers all of Chicago and Cook County. We stock our trucks with parts for the most common repairs so we can complete most jobs the same day without return trips or waiting for special orders.

Most emergency calls get a response within the hour, often much faster. We keep technicians on call 24/7 specifically for urgent situations like burst pipes, sewer backups, and water heater failures. Response time depends on your location within Chicago and current call volume, but we prioritize true emergencies. If you have standing water, no heat, or a situation that’s causing property damage, we’ll get someone to you as fast as possible. We’ll give you an accurate arrival window when you call and update you if anything changes. Emergency plumbing can’t wait, so neither do we.
Emergency service rates are higher than regular business hours, but we provide exact pricing upfront before starting any work. You’ll know the total cost before we begin, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Our emergency rates cover the cost of having skilled technicians available 24/7, fully stocked trucks, and the ability to respond immediately when disasters strike. Most customers find the premium worthwhile compared to the cost of water damage, property destruction, or days without working plumbing. We offer transparent pricing because emergency situations are stressful enough without worrying about what the final bill might be. You approve the cost before we start, or we don’t do the work.
Frozen pipes are one of our most common winter emergency calls in Chicago. We have specialized equipment to safely thaw pipes without causing damage, even in extreme cold conditions. The key is acting fast before frozen pipes burst. We can often save pipes that are frozen but not yet cracked. Once we thaw them, we’ll inspect for damage and recommend preventative measures to avoid future freeze-ups. Chicago winters are brutal on plumbing systems, especially in older homes with poor insulation. We know which pipes are most vulnerable and how to protect them from freezing again.
Yes, most plumbing repairs can be completed the same day you call. We stock our service trucks with parts for common repairs like pipe leaks, drain clogs, faucet problems, and toilet issues. Same-day service depends on the complexity of the repair and parts availability. Simple fixes like unclogging drains or fixing leaky faucets usually happen within hours. More complex repairs might require scheduling a return visit if special parts need to be ordered. We’ll tell you upfront whether your specific repair can be completed same-day or if it requires a follow-up appointment. Most Chicago homeowners are surprised how many plumbing problems can be fixed immediately with the right tools and experience.
