Emergency Plumber in Chicago, IL 60644 - Frelix Sewer & Drain, Inc.

Our plumbing inspection is a thorough check of your home's water supply, drainage, and sewer systems. We examine pipes for signs of corrosion or leaks, test water pressure, inspect fixtures, and assess the condition of your water heater. For Chicago homes, we pay special attention to issues common in our climate, like checking for pipe insulation to prevent freezing. The goal is to identify small problems before they become major repairs, giving you peace of mind and helping you plan for maintenance.

That noise, often called 'water hammer,' is common in Chicago's older homes. It happens when water flow is suddenly stopped, sending a shockwave through the pipes. It can be caused by loose pipe straps, high water pressure, or worn-out valves in appliances like washing machines. Our technicians are familiar with this local issue. We can secure loose pipes, install water hammer arrestors, and adjust your home's water pressure to eliminate the noise and protect your plumbing from stress.

Preventing frozen outdoor faucets is crucial to avoid burst pipes. The most reliable method is to shut off the water supply to the exterior faucet from inside your home (usually in the basement) and then drain the remaining water from the outdoor spigot. If your home lacks these individual shut-off valves, our team can install frost-proof hose bibs, which are designed to prevent freezing. We recommend this service in the fall to ensure your plumbing is protected before the first deep freeze hits the city.
