Immediate Response for Your Plumbing Crisis

A plumbing emergency waits for no one. That’s why our priority is to get a licensed plumber to your location as quickly as possible to mitigate damage and begin the repair. We are equipped to handle any urgent plumbing situation with expertise and efficiency.

Common Plumbing Emergencies We Handle:

• Burst Pipe Repair: A common and destructive issue, especially during harsh Illinois winters. We can quickly locate the break and perform a durable repair.
• Major Water Leaks: Whether from a water heater, a hidden pipe, or a failed plumbing fixture, we will stop the leak at its source.
• Sewer Line Backups: An unsanitary and hazardous situation that requires immediate professional attention to clear the line and sanitize the area.
• Sump Pump Failure: During a storm, a failed sump pump can lead to a flooded basement. We can repair or replace your pump to protect your property.
• Sudden Loss of Water: If your home’s water supply has been unexpectedly cut off, we can diagnose the issue, from a frozen pipe to a main line problem.

What to Do Before We Arrive

Your safety and the protection of your property are paramount. While our technician is on the way, you can take these critical steps:

1. Shut Off Your Main Water Valve: This is the single most important step to stop the flow of water and prevent further damage. It is typically located in your basement or a utility closet.
2. Turn Off Your Water Heater: If the leak involves the hot water system, shutting off the water heater can prevent overheating and damage to the unit.
3. Clear the Area: If it is safe to do so, move electronics, furniture, and other valuables away from the affected area.

Frequently Asked Questions about Plumbing Emergencies

Here are answers to a few common questions our customers have during a crisis.

1. How do I know if my problem is a true emergency?
   A situation is an emergency if it threatens to cause significant water damage, creates an unsanitary condition (like a sewer backup), or deprives you of an essential service like water. If you are unsure, it is always best to err on the side of caution and call us.
2. How much will an emergency plumbing call cost?
   We believe in transparency, even in an emergency. There is typically a dispatch fee for after-hours service. Once our technician arrives and assesses the situation, they will explain the problem, the required solution, and provide you with an upfront price for the full repair before any work begins. There are no hidden fees.
3. Once the emergency is over, can you help prevent it from happening again?
   Absolutely. After we have resolved the immediate crisis, we can discuss the underlying cause of the issue. We can recommend preventative maintenance, system upgrades, or inspections as part of our full range of plumbing services to help you avoid future emergencies.
