Signs You Need a Plumber in Chicago
Chicago’s weather and old housing stock mean plumbing issues sneak up fast. Sometimes the problem is obvious. Sometimes it’s a slow leak behind a wall that’s been quietly rotting your subfloor for six months. Here’s when to call a plumber Chicago trusts before the situation gets worse:
- Water pressure dropped suddenly across multiple fixtures
- Water bill spiked with no change in usage: hidden leak repair Chicago needed
- Drains backing up in multiple spots at once: main line issue
- Hot water gone or inconsistent: water heater on its way out
- Visible rust or discoloration from your taps: corroded copper pipe or corroded pipe, common in pre-1960s Chicago homes
- Sewage smell inside the house: P-trap dry or sewer line crack, needs a licensed tech fast
