Burst Pipe and Drain Repair

Every Emergency We Handle

Burst pipe repair is our specialty, especially during Chicago winters when frozen pipes crack and flood basements. We handle everything from small leaks behind walls to major water main breaks that shut down your entire system.

Clogged drains that back up into your home get cleared completely – not just pushed down the line to clog again next month. We use professional drain cleaning equipment that removes years of buildup.

Water heater failures, sewer line backups, and gas line emergencies all get the same fast response. Our trucks carry the parts and tools needed for most repairs, so we fix your problem in one visit.

How quickly can an emergency plumber get to my Westchester home?

We typically arrive within 30-60 minutes for true emergencies in Westchester. Our local presence means we’re not driving from downtown Chicago or the suburbs – we’re already in your area. For burst pipes or flooding situations, we prioritize the fastest possible response because every minute counts when water is actively damaging your property. We keep multiple trucks stocked and ready throughout the day and night.

What counts as a plumbing emergency that needs immediate service?

Any situation where water is actively damaging your property qualifies as an emergency. This includes burst pipes, water heater leaks, sewer backups into your home, gas line leaks, or frozen pipes that have cracked. If you can’t shut off the water or the problem is getting worse by the hour, don’t wait until morning. These issues cause exponentially more damage the longer they go unfixed.

Do you charge extra for emergency plumbing service calls at night?

We charge a reasonable emergency service fee for after-hours calls, but we’re transparent about all costs upfront. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start any work. Emergency repairs often prevent thousands of dollars in water damage, making the service fee a smart investment. We believe fair pricing builds long-term relationships with Westchester residents who know they can count on us.

Can you fix burst pipes in crawl spaces and tight areas?

Yes, we regularly repair pipes in crawl spaces, behind walls, and other difficult-to-reach areas throughout Westchester homes. Many of the older homes in this area have unique plumbing configurations that require experience to navigate safely. We carry specialized tools for tight spaces and know how to access problem areas without causing unnecessary damage to your walls or flooring.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover emergency plumbing repairs?

Insurance typically covers sudden, accidental water damage but not gradual leaks or maintenance issues. We provide detailed documentation of emergency repairs that insurance companies need for claims processing. The key is getting the water stopped quickly – insurance is more likely to cover damage from a burst pipe that was repaired immediately than from a slow leak that went unaddressed for weeks.

What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?

First, shut off your main water supply if possible – it’s usually located near your water meter or where the main line enters your home. Move valuable items away from the flooded area and take photos for insurance purposes. Don’t try to fix major leaks yourself, as this can make the problem worse. If you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call the gas company. We’ll walk you through any urgent steps when you call us.
