FAQs
What situations count as a plumbing emergency in Andersonville?
Any sudden issue that risks flooding, sewer back-up, water supply loss, or property damage is considered an emergency. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, overflowing toilets, major leaks, sewage odors or backflow, water heater failures that leak or spray scalding water, and gas line leaks. If you are unsure, call us—our dispatcher can quickly determine whether your problem needs immediate attention.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach my Andersonville home or business?
Because our technicians are on rotating 24/7 standby within the Andersonville area, our average on-site response time is 45 minutes or less. During extreme weather or city-wide events we may quote up to 60–90 minutes, but you will always receive an accurate ETA, live updates, and the technician’s name and photo for your safety and peace of mind.
Are your emergency plumbing technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every plumber on our emergency team holds an Illinois state plumbing license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and undergoes annual background checks and drug screening. Our company also maintains bonding with the City of Chicago so you can trust that all work meets local codes and industry best practices.
What emergency services do you provide?
We handle the full spectrum of urgent plumbing needs: • Burst, cracked, or frozen pipe repairs • Water heater leaks or no-hot-water situations • Sewer line clogs, tree-root intrusions, and sewage back-ups • Overflowing or continuously running toilets • Sump pump failures and storm-drain backups • Gas line leaks and shut-off valve replacements • Water line breaks and main shut-off repairs • Commercial grease-trap and backflow emergencies. All trucks carry advanced leak detection gear, sewer cameras, jetting machines, and common replacement parts so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
How is emergency plumbing service priced, and will I get an estimate first?
We charge a modest after-hours dispatch fee, which is waived if you proceed with the repair. Once on site, the plumber performs a quick diagnostic and presents a written, flat-rate estimate before any work begins. There are no hidden fees—labor, parts, and any necessary permits are included. Seniors, military members, and Andersonville small-business owners are eligible for a 10% discount.
What can I do until your emergency plumber arrives?
1. Shut off water: Locate your main shut-off valve (usually where the supply line enters the building) and turn it clockwise to stop flooding. 2. Power and gas: If you suspect a water heater or gas leak, turn off the appliance’s fuel and power sources. 3. Contain the leak: Place buckets, towels, or tarps to limit water damage. 4. Do not use drain cleaners: Chemical products can worsen damage and create hazards for the plumber. 5. Document damage: Take photos for insurance purposes. 6. Stay safe: Avoid standing water near electrical outlets. Our dispatcher can guide you step by step while the technician is en route.
