Hegewisch Emergency Plumber - Chicago's Emergency Plumbing Company

Common signs of a failing sewer line in older Chicago homes include frequent drain clogs, gurgling sounds from toilets, slow drainage in multiple fixtures, or sewage odors in your yard. We specialize in diagnosing these aging systems using camera inspections to pinpoint corrosion or breaks. Our services range from targeted sewer repair to full replacement, using durable materials designed to withstand our local soil conditions and prevent future problems.

Absolutely. For the common issue of corroded galvanized pipes in Chicago-area homes, we often use trenchless pipe lining or pipe bursting techniques. These minimally invasive methods allow us to repair or replace the damaged pipe from a small access point, saving your walls, floors, and landscaping. We'll assess the situation and recommend the most efficient and cost-effective solution, whether it's a section repair or a full repipe with modern, corrosion-resistant materials like PEX or copper.

For our cold Chicago winters, a reliable water heater is essential. We recommend and install high-efficiency tank, tankless, and heat pump water heaters based on your home's size and needs. Tankless models are great for saving space and providing endless hot water, while modern tanks offer excellent efficiency. Our expert installation includes bringing everything up to local Chicago code, ensuring proper venting for gas models, and often adding a hot water recirculation pump to eliminate wait times for hot water at the tap.
