When temperatures drop below 32 degrees in Bellwood, you’re looking at frozen pipes within hours. What starts as no water from your faucet quickly becomes a flooding nightmare if those pipes burst.
We thaw your frozen pipes using professional electrical current equipment that safely heats the ice blockage without damaging your plumbing. No guesswork, no risky DIY methods that could start fires or cause more damage.
You get your water back fast, your property stays dry, and you avoid the headache of dealing with insurance claims for water damage that could have been prevented.
Go-Rooter Emergency Plumbers has been serving Chicago and Cook County residents through every brutal winter since our doors opened. We understand what Bellwood homeowners face when temperatures plummet.
We’re not the plumbers who show up unprepared or quote you one price then hit you with extras. Our trucks carry professional pipe thawing equipment, and our technicians know how to use it safely and effectively.
When your pipes freeze at 2 AM on a Sunday in January, we answer the phone and we show up. That’s what emergency service actually means.
First, we locate the frozen section using professional diagnostic techniques. No tearing up your walls or floors to find the problem.
Then we attach specialized electrical thawing equipment to your metal pipes. This sends safe, controlled electrical current through the pipe, generating heat that melts the ice blockage from the inside out. The whole process takes minutes, not hours.
While the ice thaws, we check for any damage that might have occurred and test your water pressure to make sure everything’s flowing properly. If we find any cracks or weak spots, we’ll let you know exactly what needs to be fixed and what it’ll cost before we do any additional work.
