Go-Rooter Emergency Plumbers has been serving Cook County since 2001, and we understand exactly what East Hazel Crest’s brutal winters do to your plumbing. When temperatures drop to 15 degrees and stay there, pipes freeze fast.
We’re the local emergency plumbing company that East Hazel Crest homeowners call when they need frozen pipe repair that actually works. Our 4.9-star rating from over 154 customers comes from doing the job right, with upfront pricing and no surprises.
Licensed, bonded, and insured, we’ve handled everything from simple pipe thawing to complex burst pipe emergencies throughout the south Chicago suburbs.
First, we assess which pipes are frozen and where the blockage is located. Our technicians use professional-grade equipment to safely thaw the ice without damaging your pipes or creating burst pipe situations.
We start thawing from the faucet end and work toward the frozen section, allowing water to flow as the ice melts. This controlled process prevents pressure buildup that causes pipes to burst.
Once water flows normally, we inspect the entire system for any damage and test water pressure throughout your home. You’ll know everything works properly before we leave, and we’ll give you prevention tips for next time temperatures drop.

Our frozen pipe repair service includes professional pipe thawing, burst pipe repair, and water damage prevention. We bring specialized heating equipment that safely thaws pipes without the fire hazards of DIY methods.
East Hazel Crest’s 30 inches of annual snowfall and extended freezing periods make pipe insulation and preventive maintenance crucial. We inspect vulnerable areas like exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unheated areas where pipes freeze most often.

Our trucks are fully equipped with professional pipe thawing equipment, so we can start working on your frozen pipes immediately upon arrival. We understand that frozen pipes can quickly become burst pipes, causing thousands of dollars in water damage, so speed matters.
Professional pipe thawing uses specialized equipment that applies controlled, even heat without creating dangerous pressure buildup or fire hazards. Many DIY methods like using open flames or high-heat devices can actually cause pipes to burst or create serious safety risks.
Our technicians know exactly how to thaw pipes safely, starting from the right location and monitoring the process to prevent damage. We also inspect the entire system to catch potential problems before they become expensive emergencies.
DIY attempts often fail or cause more damage, especially when homeowners don’t realize that multiple sections of pipe are frozen or that the thawing process needs to be carefully controlled.
Our frozen pipe repair typically costs much less than the $15,000 average that Illinois homeowners pay for water damage from burst pipes. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
Simple pipe thawing usually runs a few hundred dollars, while burst pipe repair depends on the extent of damage and location of the break. Emergency service calls include diagnosis and a detailed estimate of any needed repairs.
The key is calling us before pipes burst. Thawing frozen pipes costs a fraction of what you’ll pay for burst pipe repair, water damage restoration, and replacing damaged belongings.
Yes, we offer pipe insulation, preventive maintenance, and winterization services specifically designed for East Hazel Crest’s harsh winter conditions. This includes insulating vulnerable pipes, sealing air leaks, and installing freeze alarms in high-risk areas.
We identify the pipes most likely to freeze in your home – typically those along exterior walls, in crawl spaces, or near unheated areas. Proper insulation and minor modifications can prevent most frozen pipe situations.
Our preventive approach saves you money and stress by addressing the problem before it happens. Many customers schedule fall maintenance to prepare their plumbing for East Hazel Crest’s long, cold winters.
First, call us immediately at our emergency number. Don’t wait to see if the situation improves – frozen pipes can burst without warning, causing massive water damage. Turn off your main water supply if you know where the shutoff valve is located.
Keep faucets slightly open to allow water to flow once we begin thawing. This relieves pressure and helps prevent pipe bursts. Don’t attempt to thaw pipes yourself with space heaters, hair dryers, or especially open flames – these methods are dangerous and often make the situation worse.
If you see any signs of burst pipes like water stains, unusual sounds, or water where it shouldn’t be, treat it as an emergency and call us right away.
Yes, we stand behind all our frozen pipe repair work with a satisfaction guarantee. If the same pipe freezes again due to our repair work, we’ll return to fix the issue at no additional charge. Our goal is lasting solutions, not temporary fixes.
We use quality materials and proven techniques that address the root cause of the freezing problem. This might include improving insulation, sealing air leaks, or relocating vulnerable pipes to prevent future issues.
Our 4.9-star rating from over 154 customers reflects our commitment to doing the job right the first time. We’re not satisfied unless your plumbing works properly and you’re confident in the repair.
