Q&A

What should I do if I suspect my home's aging Chicago sewer line has a problem?

Early signs include frequent drain backups, gurgling sounds from toilets, or unpleasant odors. For Chicago homes, issues with old clay or cast iron sewer lines are common due to shifting soil and freeze-thaw cycles. Great American Plumbing specializes in sewer inspections using camera technology to pinpoint the exact problem—whether it's a joint leak, root intrusion, or a collapsed section—without unnecessary excavation. We then provide clear repair or replacement options tailored to your property.

My water pipes are leaking at the joints. Is this a common issue, and how do you repair it?

Yes, pipe joint leaks are a frequent issue in Chicago-area homes, often caused by corrosion in older galvanized pipes or stress from temperature fluctuations. Our approach starts with a thorough inspection to assess the pipe material and extent of the damage. For repairs, we may use targeted methods like epoxy lining or section replacement. For widespread issues, we are repiping specialists and can replace the problematic piping with durable, modern materials, ensuring a long-term solution and minimizing disruption to your home.

Do you handle both small repairs and large projects like a full bathroom remodel?

Absolutely. As a full-service residential and commercial plumbing company, we are equipped for jobs of all sizes. Our team, led by a Certified Master Plumber, can handle a simple faucet repair today and manage the complex plumbing for a new construction or complete kitchen and bathroom remodel tomorrow. This versatility, backed by being fully licensed, bonded, and insured for Chicago and Illinois, means you have one reliable partner for all your plumbing needs, from urgent fixes to planned renovations.
