How does Chicago’s climate affect my plumbing system?

Chicago’s harsh winters, rapid temperature swings, and heavy seasonal rainfall can put serious stress on plumbing systems. When pipes freeze and thaw repeatedly, the pressure on them can cause cracks and breakage. Many pipes are part of combined systems, so sewer backups are common, especially in older Chicago homes. It’s important that you schedule inspections with a trusted Chicago plumber before winter and storm season to prevent costly damage.

Are frozen pipes common in Chicago?

Yes. Prolonged sub-zero temperatures and wind chills can cause exposed or poorly insulated pipes to freeze and burst. This is especially common in basements, crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls. A Chicago plumber can insulate vulnerable pipes and help prevent winter plumbing emergencies.

Are tree roots a common plumbing issue in Chicago?

Very common. Many Chicago neighborhoods, like Lincoln Park, Oak Park, Beverly, and Evanston, have mature trees with aggressive root systems. These roots invade older clay or cast-iron sewer lines, which lead to blockages and backups. Routine sewer cleaning and inspections can help stop root intrusion early.

Why do Chicago basements flood so often?

Basement flooding in Chicago is usually caused by a combination of heavy rainfall, aging sewer systems, combined storm and sanitary sewers, and clogged drain lines. Homes in low-lying areas or with older sewer connections are especially vulnerable to basement flooding. You’ll need to make sure you have a reliable 24-hour plumber in Chicago to recommend backflow prevention and other plumbing solutions.

Do I need a sump pump in Chicago?

If your home has a basement or crawl space, then we may recommend it. Chicago’s spring rains and summer storms can quickly overwhelm soil and sewer systems. A sump pump helps protect your basement from groundwater intrusion and flooding.

Why do my pipes make banging or knocking noises?

Loud pipe noises, often called “water hammer,” occur when water pressure changes suddenly. In Chicago, this can be worsened by cold temperatures, causing pipes to expand and contract. Thankfully, a Roto-Rooter technician can secure your pipes and install pressure-regulating solutions.

Are lead pipes still an issue in Chicago?

Unfortunately, lead pipes are still around. Many older homes in Chicago have lead service lines, which can pose health risks. But our team of Chicago plumbers is happy to inspect your plumbing and help you understand replacement options that comply with local regulations.

Does Roto-Rooter in Chicago have any coupons or discounts?

Yes, Roto-Rooter in Chicago offers a variety of coupons for both plumbing and drain service. Visit the coupons section of our website.

Do you also service the Chicago suburbs?

Yes. Roto-Rooter serves the entire Chicago metro area, including surrounding counties in Illinois, Northwest Indiana, and Southeast Wisconsin.

After speaking with another company who was unpleasant and quoted me a hefty fee just for coming out on a weekend, I was skeptical and surprised that RotoRooter’s Customer service ... was pleasant & provided me with a clear response about their services and pricing. The plumber was professional and pleasant, and knew what he was doing and quickly fixef the toilet leak -all with a reasonable charge. I will call RotoRooter from now on for all my plumbing needs! Thanks!

Peter # 709 There was an issue with the initial timing of the appointment but Peter more than made up for it by the service he provided. Overall ... I'm very happy with the work that Peter did and would recommend him. I consider myself to be very handy but I did not want to try this replacement myself. There was a very tight space for the water heater with existing plumbing needed to be worked around. Peter did the work with ease and was very professional and easy to get along with.
