"When temperatures dropped to -50 with wind chill, the pipes to our basement bathroom sink froze. And as soon as everything began to thaw, (on Friday night) we found that we had a ruptured hot water pipe. Water was shooting out of the wall all over the bathroom. When it became clear that our usual plumber wasn't going to show up on Saturday, I frantically called half-a-dozen plumbers from Angie's List. Only Charlie got back to me and agreed to show up after his next job. On a day that he was clearly being overwhelmed with calls from all over the city, Charlie kept his word and showed up with his partner Dimitri. They quickly figured out there were no other leaks and repaired the pipe. On top of it, Charlie spotted two other unrelated plumbing issues in our HVAC room. They were minor now but could have turned into bigger problems down the road. His thoroughness and attention to detail allowed him to spot these hidden problems and save us headaches down the road. We had our water working in under an hour (on a Saturday evening!) and he charged a very fair price given the demands upon his time. He left our house at 5pm, his phone blowing up from other customers. I asked if he was going to have an end to the day soon, but he said he still had hours to go...he had promised other worried homeowners that he would help them today. THAT's the kind of dedication I want from my plumber. Call Charlie with confidence."

"The guys did a great job replacing my garbage disposal and re-piping under my kitchen sink that had been incorrectly installed by a previous owner and brining everything up to code. They also replaced a leaky faucet in my bathroom. The price quote I received from them was about half the cost from another company that I was connected to through Angi’s list so overall I am very happy. They were fast, professional, courteous, explained everything, and cleaned up everything after the job was done. I highly recommend Mario & Sons for any work that you need completed. They even had a job at my neighbors house immediately after they completed my work and I know they were happy with the work performed as well."

"Mattco has been performing repairs and regular plumbing maintenance at my 116 year old Chicago 2-flat for many years. Over time with experience I have gained trust in Mattco Plumbing to get me out of big jams with the plumbing in this old building. Just recently Matt repaired the 2nd floor toilet drain line in the ceiling above my 1st floor bathroom in a very tight spot. I have had other plumbers walk away from the repair or just wanting to do the band aide repair. Matt was able to replace the entire drain line above the ceiling. I watched him do the repair. It wasn't easy, but he got it done. I have peace of mind because I know the repair will last for ever. I'm in my 50th year working and owning an HVAC company. I know a good technician when I see one. I trust in Mattco Plumbing."

"Terrence Spranger was my plumber. His quote was fair. He was on time to the job. He replaced my hot water tank and shut off valve. He suggested placing a tray under the tank that has a drain hose just in case the new tank eventually leaks then it won’t run all over my basement. He had the model and serial numbers added to my receipt for insurance purposes. He was very personable and put the customer first. He went beyond what was expected of him to do. Thank you"

"Very responsive. On time. Pretty simple job routing a drain and replacing one small drain pipe under the sink. Really liked the technician. Price maybe a little high but I have no way of knowing what other plumbers would have charged. Very satisfied with the work done."

"Could not have been better. Unlike every other plumber I contacted, Vasyl responded promptly, and was able to come out the same day. He also charged much less than the others quoted. Vasyl was completely professional, and performed the job quickly, efficiently and well. I have found my go-to plumber."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

Pay attention to reduced water pressure or discolored water, as these indicate internal corrosion in older galvanized steel pipes. In many post-WWII Hillside homes, a single slow drain or gurgling sound points to systemic deterioration in aging cast iron lines. Additionally, a single sewer backup strongly signals tree root intrusion in clay sewer laterals. A constantly running sump pump points directly to failing drain tile systems around your foundation.

Helpful?

Watch out for contractors who claim permits are unnecessary for significant plumbing work, like water heater replacements or sewer line modifications. Hillside requires permits and inspections for most alterations. Another major red flag is a professional who applies Chicago-specific codes instead of the required state codes. Always verify that your chosen contractor holds an active state license to ensure your home remains safe and compliant with IL regulations.

Helpful?

Severe winter cold creates significant freeze-thaw stress, requiring professionals to bury water lines below the 42-inch frost depth to prevent frozen pipes. Spring snowmelt and heavy summer rainstorms overwhelm local storm systems, causing basement sewer backups across IL. To combat this, contractors install overhead sewer conversions and backwater valves. Hot, dry summers also cause clay-heavy soils to shrink, which shifts underground pipes and accelerates joint separation in older sewer lines.

Helpful?

Older properties with original plumbing systems mix galvanized, copper, and cast iron materials, requiring complex code-compliant transitions. Full basements with below-grade fixtures demand ejector pumps or overhead sewer systems to drain properly. Mature tree roots infiltrate clay sewer laterals in Hillside, requiring extensive root removal or full lateral replacement. Finally, properties with lead service lines face strict regulatory requirements, triggering full line replacements and coordination with the local water utility.

Helpful?

Timeframes for plumbing projects depend heavily on permit processing and seasonal demand. Standard permits in Hillside take several days to two weeks to process. During peak seasons, like spring rainstorms or winter freezes, scheduling a non-emergency professional adds another two weeks to your start time. Projects involving municipal water mains or sewer infrastructure require extra coordination, extending the timeline further. Emergency repairs bypass standard permit waits to resolve immediate hazards quickly.
