Emergency Plumbing Response in Chicago
Plumbing emergencies don't follow a convenient schedule, which is why Arlingtonheights Plumbing Co offers true 24/7 emergency plumbing service to Chicago residents and businesses. When you call our emergency line, you'll speak with a live dispatcher who will immediately send the nearest available plumber to your location. Our average emergency response time in the Chicago area is 30 to 60 minutes, ensuring that help arrives quickly when you need it most.
Common plumbing emergencies we handle in Chicago include burst pipes, sewage backups, gas leaks, water heater failures, sump pump malfunctions, and major water leaks.

When facing a plumbing emergency, the most important thing you can do is locate and shut off your main water valve to minimize damage. If you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call both the gas company and our emergency line. Our plumbers will guide you through any immediate steps you can take while we're on our way to your Chicago property.
Preventive Plumbing Maintenance for Chicago Homes
The best way to avoid costly plumbing emergencies is through regular preventive maintenance. Arlingtonheights Plumbing Co offers comprehensive plumbing maintenance programs designed specifically for Chicago homeowners. Our maintenance services include annual plumbing inspections, water heater flushing and maintenance, drain cleaning and treatment, water pressure testing, leak detection scans, and fixture and valve inspections.
Regular maintenance not only prevents emergencies but also extends the lifespan of your plumbing system, improves water efficiency, and can save you significant money on utility bills. Many homeowners in Chicago are surprised to learn that a small, undetected leak can waste thousands of gallons of water per year and cause extensive hidden damage to walls, floors, and foundations.
We recommend that Chicago homeowners schedule a professional plumbing inspection at least once per year. During this inspection, our licensed plumber will thoroughly examine your entire plumbing system, identify any current or potential issues, and provide recommendations for repairs or upgrades. This proactive approach helps you budget for necessary repairs and avoid the stress and expense of unexpected plumbing failures.
Common Plumbing Issues in Chicago
Chicago homeowners encounter a range of plumbing challenges, many of which are influenced by the area's water quality, infrastructure age, and local conditions. Understanding these common issues can help you recognize problems early and take preventive action before they become expensive emergencies.
Hard Water Buildup: The water supply in the Chicago area tends to have elevated mineral content, which causes scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures. Over time, this reduces water flow, decreases water heater efficiency, and shortens appliance lifespans. Water softener installation can significantly reduce these effects and protect your plumbing investment. Many Chicago homeowners have saved thousands of dollars in appliance replacement costs by installing a quality water softener system.
Aging Sewer Lines: Many homes in Chicago were built decades ago with clay or cast iron sewer lines that deteriorate over time. Tree root intrusion is particularly common in established neighborhoods with mature landscaping. Roots seek out the moisture in sewer pipes and can infiltrate even tiny cracks at pipe joints, eventually causing complete blockages and sewage backups. Regular sewer camera inspections can catch problems before they cause backups, and trenchless repair methods can fix damaged lines without destroying your yard.
Water Heater Issues: Hard water accelerates sediment buildup in water heaters, causing rumbling noises, reduced hot water capacity, and premature tank failure. Annual flushing is especially important in the Chicago area to maintain water heater performance and extend its lifespan. We recommend scheduling this maintenance before the winter months when your water heater works hardest. Tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years in this area, while tankless units can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance.
Drain Clogs and Slow Drains: Kitchen and bathroom drains in Chicago homes are susceptible to the same clogs caused by grease, hair, and soap scum. Homes with older drain pipes may experience recurring clogs due to pipe deterioration, rough interior surfaces, and reduced pipe diameter from years of buildup. Professional hydro jetting can restore full flow to your drains and is recommended every 1-2 years for homes with a history of drain problems.
Slab Leaks: The soil conditions in many parts of Chicago can contribute to foundation movement, which puts stress on the water supply and drain lines running beneath your home's concrete slab. Slab leaks can go undetected for weeks or months, causing water damage, mold growth, and foundation deterioration. If you notice unexplained increases in your water bill, warm spots on your floor, or the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, contact us immediately for a non-invasive leak detection assessment.
