About Joe and Jays Plumbing in Joliet, IL

A frozen outdoor faucet is a common Joliet issue that can lead to burst pipes inside your wall. First, shut off the water supply to that faucet using its interior shutoff valve, if it has one. Never use an open flame to thaw it. Call us at Joe and Jays Plumbing. We can safely thaw the line and inspect it for damage. To prevent this, we recommend installing frost-free hose bibs and disconnecting hoses before winter—a service we provide to protect your home.

Yes, we perform thorough plumbing inspections, which are especially valuable for Joliet's many historic and older homes. Our inspection checks for issues like corroded galvanized pipes, slow drains, inefficient water heaters, and faulty shutoff valves—a frequent local problem. We provide a clear report on the condition of your system, recommend any necessary repairs or upgrades (like repiping or water heater replacement), and help you prioritize to avoid emergencies and improve efficiency.

We offer 24/7 emergency service for Joliet residents. When you call with a burst pipe, major leak, or severe clog, we dispatch a licensed plumber immediately. Our goal is to have a technician on-site as quickly as possible to stop the water flow, prevent further damage to your home, and begin the repair. We carry a wide range of parts on our trucks, so we can often complete permanent repairs during that same emergency visit.
