Summit’s older homes often have unique plumbing challenges—cast iron pipes, galvanized lines, and systems that weren’t designed for modern usage. We’ve worked on every type of plumbing system in this area.

Whether it’s a minor faucet leak or a major sewer line replacement, we have the equipment and experience to handle it. Emergency or scheduled service, residential or commercial—we do it all.

We dispatch emergency plumbers to Summit homes within hours of your call, often within 20-30 minutes during business hours. Our trucks are stocked with common parts and professional equipment, so we can usually complete most repairs on the first visit. For true emergencies like burst pipes or sewage backups, we prioritize these calls and get someone to you as fast as possible. We understand that plumbing emergencies don’t wait for convenient times.
Upfront pricing means we give you the total cost of the repair before we start any work—no surprises, no hidden fees, no “time and materials” billing that keeps climbing. You know exactly what you’ll pay before we touch a single pipe. This includes our diagnostic fee, all parts, labor, and cleanup. If the job takes longer than expected or we run into complications, the price stays the same. The only time the price changes is if you ask us to fix additional problems we discover.
Yes, all plumbers working in Summit must be licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. This requires passing a state exam after completing years of apprenticeship training under a licensed plumber. Licensed plumbers also need to complete continuing education annually to maintain their license. Always verify that your plumber has a current Illinois license—unlicensed work can void your insurance and create safety hazards.
Summit’s older homes frequently deal with drain clogs, leaking pipes, and water heater failures. Cast iron sewer lines in older neighborhoods often develop root intrusion or corrosion issues that require professional attention. Winter brings frozen pipe problems, especially in basements and crawl spaces. Sump pump failures are also common during heavy rains, which can cause basement flooding if not addressed quickly.
Call for emergency service if you have water actively leaking, sewage backing up, no hot water in cold weather, or completely blocked drains. These problems get worse fast and can cause expensive damage to your Summit home. Issues like slow drains, minor faucet drips, or running toilets can usually wait for regular business hours. However, if you’re unsure, it’s always better to call and ask—we can help you determine if it’s truly urgent.
For burst pipes, shut off your main water supply immediately—it’s usually located near where the water line enters your house. For sewage backups, avoid using any water in your home and keep people and pets away from the affected area. Clear a path to the problem area and remove any valuables or items that could be damaged by water. Don’t try to fix the problem yourself with chemical drain cleaners or by taking apart pipes—this often makes the situation worse.
