When pipes burst at 2 AM, you need an emergency plumber who actually answers the phone and arrives with the right tools to stop the flooding.
Hear From Our Customers
You wake up to water pooling in your basement or kitchen. The panic hits immediately because you know every minute counts before the damage spreads to flooring, walls, and everything you care about.
That’s when you need more than just a plumber – you need someone who understands that stopping water damage isn’t just about fixing pipes. It’s about protecting your home, your belongings, and your family’s comfort. When we’re done, your plumbing works reliably, your property stays dry, and you sleep better knowing the emergency is truly handled by professionals who got it right the first time.
Go-Rooter Emergency Plumbers has served the Chicago area since 2001, and we understand exactly what Barrington homeowners face during harsh Illinois winters. Those beautiful older homes near downtown can have aging pipes that don’t handle temperature swings well, and when the mercury drops below 20°F for days, that’s when emergency calls spike.
We’re not some distant corporate chain – we’re licensed, bonded, and insured plumbers who live and work in this community. When your neighbor’s pipes froze last winter or when that storm knocked out power and flooded basements on your street, we were there handling those emergencies too.
When you call with a plumbing emergency, we ask the right questions to understand your situation and dispatch the closest available plumber to your Barrington location. No phone tag with answering services – you talk to real people who can help immediately.
Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck and diagnostic equipment. Before any work begins, we explain what’s wrong, what needs to happen, and exactly what it will cost. No surprises, no inflated emergency pricing just because it’s midnight or Sunday.
Once you approve the work, we get started immediately. Whether it’s a burst pipe flooding your kitchen or a sewer backup in your basement, we handle both the repair and cleanup. You get a warranty on the work, and we make sure everything functions properly before we leave your property.

Our emergency plumbing service covers everything Barrington homeowners face – from minor clogs that turn into major backups to catastrophic pipe failures that flood basements. We handle burst pipe repair, water main breaks, sewer line emergencies, frozen pipe thawing, and those mysterious leaks that seem to come from nowhere.
Barrington’s mix of newer developments and established neighborhoods means we see everything from modern PEX systems to century-old cast iron that finally gives way. We carry parts for both, plus the specialized tools needed to work in tight crawl spaces or navigate those tricky basement layouts common in this area.
Your emergency service includes stopping the immediate damage, completing permanent repairs, proper cleanup of the work area, and documentation that satisfies insurance requirements. That’s what separates real emergency service from companies that just charge extra for after-hours calls.
