What to do while you wait for a plumber
The first few minutes decide how much damage a leak or backup causes. These steps are safe for any homeowner and work in any house in town.
Shut off the water
Turn the main valve clockwise, usually near the water meter in the basement or utility room. For one fixture, use the small valve under the sink or behind the toilet.
Cut power near water
If water is near outlets, appliances or the panel, switch off those breakers only if the floor around the panel is dry. Otherwise stay out and call us.
Call and describe it
Tell the dispatcher where the water is coming from, what you have already shut off, and whether any water is reaching electrical equipment.
Protect what you can
Move rugs, furniture and electronics away from the wet area. Photograph the damage for your insurance claim before cleanup.
Plumbing in a village built in the 1960s and 1970s
Hanover Park was incorporated in 1958, and the Greenbrook subdivision came out of that first building boom. Woodlake Trails and Olde Salem followed in the early 1970s, so many homes here have plumbing that is now 50 years old or close to it. That age shows up as corroded supply lines, slow cast iron or clay sewer drains, and water heaters that have been replaced once or twice already.
The village gets all of its water from Lake Michigan through the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency. Reports for the same Chicago supply describe moderately hard water, around 8 grains per gallon in Streamwood's 2023 report. In practice that means scale builds up inside water heaters and on fixtures, which is why flushing and anode checks matter here.
Flood-prone streets
County hazard planning lists the Barrington and Irving Park Road area, the Highlands subdivision and Schick Road as flood-prone. Basements there need working sump pumps and clear floor drains.
Permits and inspections
The village Inspectional Services Division registers plumbing contractors and issues permits. Work such as a water heater replacement or sewer repair follows the Illinois Plumbing Code, the state standard for plumbing work.
Old sewer pipe
Clay and cast iron building sewers from the 1960s and 70s crack and collect roots. A camera inspection shows the real condition before anyone digs.
What you can expect when you call
We keep the process simple and put the important details in front of you before work begins.
Answered around the clock
Nights, weekends and holidays go to the same emergency line. A person dispatches the job, not a menu.
Clear price first
You hear the price before work starts, and the work does not change without your say. Cost drivers are explained on every service page.
Licensed and insured
Work on supply lines, drains, gas appliances and sewer connections is done by licensed plumbers who pull permits when the village requires them.
Homes and businesses
Single-family homes, townhomes, apartment buildings and small commercial properties all get the same careful approach.
What affects the cost of a plumbing job
Every job is different, so we price after we see it. These are the factors that move a quote up or down, in plain terms.
Access
A pipe in an open basement ceiling is quick to reach. One behind a finished wall or under a slab takes more time and more repair work.
Parts and materials
Pipe type, fixture grade, water heater size and fuel type all change the material cost.
Time and urgency
Simple clears are short. Complex repairs, permit work and after-hours emergencies take more labor.
Code and permits
Some work needs a village permit and inspection, which adds steps but protects your home and insurance.
Insurance note: homeowners policies often cover sudden water damage from a burst pipe, but not slow leaks or wear. Ask your insurer before cleanup, and keep photos and receipts.
