Uptown Licensed Plumber is a locally owned and operated plumbing service serving Chicago and Cook County since 2018. We understand that plumbing issues don't wait for a convenient time, which is why our team is available 24/7 for emergency calls, from clogged toilets to burst pipes. We provide a comprehensive range of services, including water heater and HVAC system work, drain and sewer services, and all types of installations and repairs. Our approach is straightforward: we diagnose the problem accurately, explain your options clearly, and get the job done right the first time. We're familiar with the common challenges Chicago homes face, such as hard water scaling and noisy pipes, and we have proven solutions for them.
Questions and Answers
I'm hearing a loud banging noise from my pipes whenever I shut off a faucet. What is this, and can you fix it?
That's a common issue in Chicago homes known as water hammer or pipe vibration noise. It's caused by a sudden change in water pressure and can stress your plumbing system over time. Our licensed plumbers can diagnose the specific cause, which is often loose pipe straps or a faulty pressure regulator, and perform the necessary repair or installation of water hammer arrestors to stop the noise and protect your pipes.
My water heater is over 10 years old. Should I wait for it to fail, or consider a proactive replacement?
In Chicago's climate, a failing water heater can be a major disruption. While we offer 24/7 emergency repair, a proactive replacement is often a more reliable and cost-effective choice. Our team can assess your current unit, discuss efficient replacement options (including tankless), and handle the full installation. Scheduling it on your terms avoids the urgency and potential water damage of an unexpected failure.
Do you handle both the plumbing and HVAC work for a furnace or boiler replacement?
Yes, we do. As a licensed plumbing company with HVAC expertise, we can manage the entire replacement process for your heating system. This includes the gas line plumbing, water connections for boilers, and the installation of the new furnace or boiler unit itself. Handling both aspects with one crew ensures the job is coordinated efficiently and meets all local Chicago code requirements.
