Burst Pipe Repair
Chicago winters hit frozen pipes hard. When a pipe burst happens, we show up fast, shut off the main shut-off, and fix it right.

Old galvanized pipe or polybutylene pipe giving you grief? We swap it for copper pipe or PEX pipe. Permitted and done to code.

Signs You Need a Supply Line Service in Chicago
Chicago homes throw curveballs. Pre-1986 buildings often have lead pipe still running to fixtures. Older galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside. A sudden water pressure drop in a Wicker Park two-flat at 2am is not random. Here’s what to watch for:
- Water pressure drop with no explanation from the city.
- Visible water damage on ceilings, walls, or floors near pipes.
- Discolored or rusty water from taps, a sign of corroded galvanized pipe inside.
- Wet spot around the water meter or foundation: possible main water line break.
- Leaking pipe Chicago: dripping sound behind walls when everything’s off.
- Frost-free spigot cracked or leaking after winter: the previous one wasn’t freeze-proof.
Pipe Repair vs. Replacement: How to Decide
Honest answer: repair if it’s a single pipe fitting, a ball valve, or a shut-off valve. Replace if the copper pipe run has multiple failure points, or if your home was built before 1986 and still has the original lead pipe supply lines. That’s a replacement by City of Chicago code, no debate. And if you’re upgrading while we’re there, consider water heater installation Chicago while the water’s already off. Also, check WaterSense water-efficient fixtures (EPA) if you want to cut long-term water costs.

FAQ:
+− How much does burst pipe repair cost in Chicago?
Burst pipe repair cost Chicago starts at $299. Final cost depends on pipe material, access, and scope. Flat rate, no surprises.
+− What causes pipes to burst or leak in Chicago homes?
Chicago winters drop to -20°F and below. Pipe freeze and pipe bursts happen when water supply lines don’t have proper insulation or frost-free spigots outside.
+− When should I repair vs. replace a supply line?
Repair one weak spot. Replace when there are multiple failures, or when pre-1986 lead pipe is involved. City of Chicago code requires lead pipe removal.
+− Do I need a permit for pipe repair or replacement in Chicago?
Minor repairs like a shut-off valve or pipe coupling swap don’t need permits. Full water main or service line replacement does. We handle City of Chicago plumbing permits for you.
+− Can you solder copper pipes the same day in Chicago?
Yes. Solder copper pipe Chicago same-day is standard for us. Techs carry flux, sweat fittings, and SharkBite fittings for faster jobs.
+− How do I know if my garden spigot needs replacing?
If your outdoor faucet is a standard model and Chicago winters have been hitting it, it’s likely already damaged inside. Replace it with a frost-free spigot before next season.
