When your faucets stop working and you suspect frozen pipes, every minute counts. Our emergency response team arrives quickly with professional thawing equipment to safely restore water flow before pipes burst.
A single burst pipe releases up to 10 gallons of water per minute, turning a manageable situation into thousands of dollars in water damage. We prevent that disaster with proven thawing techniques that protect your pipes and your property.
You get your water back, your peace of mind restored, and the confidence that comes from working with Midlothian’s trusted emergency plumbers who understand exactly what Chicago-area winters can do to your plumbing.
We’ve served Cook County homeowners since 2001, and we understand exactly what Midlothian residents face during brutal Chicago winters. We’re not just another plumbing company – we’re your neighbors who’ve seen how quickly frozen pipes can turn into flooding disasters.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured team responds 24/7 because frozen pipes don’t wait for business hours. We’ve helped thousands of local families avoid the heartbreak of water damage during the coldest months of the year.
What sets us apart is our commitment to lasting solutions, not quick fixes. We use professional-grade thawing equipment and provide the preventive guidance that keeps your pipes flowing all winter long.
First, we shut off your main water supply to prevent pressure buildup that causes pipes to burst. This critical step protects your home from flooding while we work.
Next, we use specialized electrical thawing equipment that safely warms your pipes from the inside out. Our technicians connect cables to both ends of the frozen section and apply controlled electrical currents in 10-second intervals. This method thaws ice gradually without the dangerous pressure spikes that split pipes.
Finally, we test your entire system to ensure proper flow and inspect for any damage. You’ll know exactly what we found, what we fixed, and what steps to take to prevent future freezing. The whole process typically takes just a few hours, and you’ll have running water again by the time we leave.

Our frozen pipe repair service includes professional thawing, damage assessment, and immediate repairs if needed. We handle everything from minor ice blockages to burst pipe emergencies that require section replacement.
Midlothian’s older housing stock, with many homes built in the 1960s, creates unique challenges during Chicago’s harsh winters. Pipes in unheated basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls are especially vulnerable when temperatures drop below 32 degrees.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect. Our service includes cleanup, documentation for insurance purposes, and preventive recommendations specific to your home’s layout and Midlothian’s winter conditions. Most importantly, we guarantee our work because your satisfaction and safety are our top priorities.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Midlothian and typically arrive within 30-60 minutes of your call. Frozen pipes are true emergencies because they can burst at any moment, especially as temperatures fluctuate.
Our trucks are fully equipped with professional thawing equipment, so we can start work immediately upon arrival. We understand that every minute counts when you’re dealing with frozen pipes, which is why we maintain rapid response times even during the busiest winter storms.
The sooner we can begin the thawing process, the better your chances of avoiding burst pipes and the extensive water damage that follows. Don’t wait – call us immediately if you suspect frozen pipes.
Professional thawing uses specialized electrical equipment that safely warms pipes from the inside out without creating dangerous pressure spikes. We apply controlled electrical currents in precise intervals to gradually melt ice blockages.
DIY methods like hair dryers, space heaters, or hot water can actually make the situation worse by creating uneven heating that causes pipes to expand and contract rapidly. Even worse, using open flames or high-wattage devices near pipes creates serious fire hazards.
Our professional equipment thaws pipes safely and completely, while our technicians can immediately identify and address any damage. We also provide the expertise to prevent future freezing, something you can’t get from DIY attempts.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Basic pipe thawing typically costs much less than the thousands of dollars in water damage that burst pipes cause.
The cost depends on factors like the location of frozen pipes, the extent of freezing, and whether any pipes have already burst and need replacement. However, emergency thawing service is always more affordable than dealing with flooding, damaged flooring, ruined belongings, and potential mold remediation.
We offer free estimates and work with your insurance company when water damage has occurred. Most importantly, we focus on preventing the expensive disasters that happen when frozen pipes are ignored or improperly handled.
Absolutely. Many Midlothian homes were built in the 1960s before modern insulation standards, but there are proven ways to protect your plumbing during Chicago’s brutal winters.
Key prevention steps include insulating pipes in unheated areas like basements and crawl spaces, sealing air leaks around pipes, and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures above 55 degrees. For pipes along exterior walls, opening cabinet doors allows warm air to circulate around the plumbing.
We also recommend letting faucets drip slightly during extreme cold snaps to keep water moving through the pipes. Our team can assess your specific home and recommend targeted improvements that address Midlothian’s unique winter challenges while working within your budget.
The most obvious sign is little to no water coming from your faucets when you turn them on. You might also hear unusual sounds like banging or gurgling from your pipes, or notice frost forming on exposed plumbing.
Other warning signs include strange odors coming from drains, which can indicate blockages, or visible bulging in pipes that suggests ice formation inside. If you notice any of these signs, turn off your main water supply immediately and call us.
Don’t ignore these warning signs or assume the problem will resolve itself. Frozen pipes can burst without warning, and the resulting water damage can be catastrophic. The earlier we can intervene, the better your chances of avoiding a plumbing disaster.
