Common Plumbing Issues in Chicago Homes
Trust our Chicago plumbers when freezing temps lead to burst or frozen pipes
Older homes and unpredictable weather make plumbing in Chicago tricky. Learning about common issues helps you act fast and avoid major disruptions.
We arrive when we say we will, talk you through each step, and give honest pricing upfront. Our techs treat your home with care and make sure the job runs smoothly and respectfully.
Frozen Pipes
In Chicago, freezing temperatures are a common winter concern, and they put your plumbing at risk. Ice inside pipes can lead to expansion and cracking or bursting, resulting in costly water damage. Homes with older or exposed pipes are particularly at risk.
Sewer Line Backups
Many Chicago neighborhoods have aging sewer systems. Heavy rains can overwhelm these systems, causing backups into basements. Tree roots seeking moisture can also infiltrate and block sewer lines, especially in areas with mature landscaping.
Water Heater Failures
In Chicago, hard water causes mineral deposits to collect in water heaters more quickly, reducing how well they work and how long they last. A broken water heater can leak or overflow, ruining flooring and walls.
Experiencing Any of These Issues?
Acting early can save you from a major plumbing disaster. Our skilled Chicago plumbers are ready to find and fix these problems fast.
