About Had Dad Plumbing in Chicago, IL

A professional plumbing inspection allows us to check the water supply lines, drain connections, and the shut-off valve behind your dishwasher. Over time, these connections can loosen or degrade, especially with Chicago's fluctuating water pressure. Catching a small drip or a worn hose early during an inspection can prevent a major leak that damages your kitchen floors and cabinets, saving you from costly water damage repairs.

We can handle both! Our team will first diagnose the issue—common problems include a stuck switch, a clogged intake screen, or a burnt-out motor. Often, a repair is all that's needed to get your system running again quickly. However, if your pump is old, undersized, or has sustained significant damage, we'll recommend a replacement installation. We'll ensure your new sump pump is correctly sized and installed to handle Chicago's heavy rainfall and protect your basement.

Installing a recirculation pump provides instant hot water to your faucets and appliances, eliminating the long wait and wasted water common in many Chicago homes. This is especially helpful for dishwashers, as they start their cycles with hot water, ensuring better cleaning and efficiency. By reducing the strain on your water heater and plumbing from constant cold-water flushing, it can also help prevent wear that might lead to leaks over time.
