C F Taffe Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL 60649

Our plumbing inspection is a thorough assessment of your home's entire system. For Chicago residents, we pay special attention to common local issues like potential dishwasher connection leaks and kitchen drain grease buildup, which can be problematic in older city plumbing. We check water pressure, look for leaks, inspect fixtures and water heaters, and evaluate drain lines and sewer connections to provide you with a clear picture of your plumbing's condition and any recommended maintenance.

Yes, we provide emergency plumbing services. As a fourth-generation family business serving Chicago since 1893, we prioritize our established customers. If you are an existing residential client—such as in a condominium association or real estate property we service—and experience a sudden leak, burst pipe, or severe clog, we offer emergency response to help minimize damage and restore function quickly.

The best practice is to avoid pouring any cooking grease, oils, or fats down the drain. Instead, let it cool and solidify, then dispose of it in the trash. For persistent issues common in older Chicago homes, we recommend scheduling a professional plumbing inspection. During an inspection, we can assess your kitchen drain lines, check for existing buildup, and perform a hydro-jetting service if needed to clear grease before it causes a complete blockage.
