FAQs

What situations count as a plumbing emergency in Winfield?

Any issue that risks water damage, sewer backup, or loss of essential service is considered an emergency. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, major leaks you can’t isolate, overflowing toilets, sewage coming up drains, water heater failures that are flooding, and gas-line leaks. If the problem can’t wait until regular business hours without causing property damage or health risks, call us immediately.

Are your emergency plumbers really available 24/7 in Winfield?

Yes. Crisis Plumbing staffs a live dispatcher and on-call licensed technicians 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Whether it’s 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., you will reach a real person who can quickly deploy the closest Winfield-based plumber to your location.

How fast can you arrive after I place an emergency call?

Our average response time within Winfield city limits is 30–60 minutes, depending on traffic and weather. Because our technicians are strategically stationed around DuPage County, we can usually dispatch someone to your door faster than companies that send crews from Chicago or the suburbs farther east.

What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?

1. Shut off the nearest water supply valve or the main shut-off (usually where the water line enters your home). 2. Turn off your water heater’s gas or electrical supply if it’s leaking. 3. Open faucets on lower levels to relieve water pressure. 4. Move valuables or electronics away from affected areas. 5. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners—they can worsen clogs and create hazards for our technicians. 6. If sewage is involved, keep children and pets away to prevent exposure to pathogens.

How much do emergency plumbing services cost and will I get upfront pricing?

After a quick phone assessment, our dispatcher will quote a modest emergency call-out fee that covers travel and initial diagnostics. Once the plumber inspects the issue on-site, you’ll receive a written, flat-rate estimate before any work begins—no hourly surprises. We also waive the call-out fee if you authorize the repair. We accept major credit cards, checks, and offer financing on bigger jobs.

Are your Winfield emergency plumbers licensed, insured, and is the work guaranteed?

Absolutely. Every Crisis Plumbing technician holds an Illinois state plumber’s license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and undergoes annual background checks. All parts and labor come with a written one-year warranty, and many products (e.g., water heaters) include additional manufacturer warranties that we’ll register for you.
