Plumbing problems we handle right now
Most calls to a plumber in Darien come down to a few urgent situations: water that will not stop, a drain that will not clear, or heat and hot water that quit. Each card below opens a full page with the signs, the first steps and what affects the price.
Burst Pipe Repair
A pipe has split or a joint has let go. We walk you through the main shutoff and repair the line.
Burst Pipe Repair details →Drain Cleaning
Sinks, tubs and floor drains that back up are cleared by cable or hydro jet, with a camera check on main lines.
Drain Cleaning details →Water Heater Repair
No hot water, a leaking tank or a pilot that will not stay lit, fixed on gas and electric units.
Water Heater Repair details →Water Heater Replacement
When a tank has failed for good, we size, remove and install a replacement, often the same day.
Water Heater Replacement details →Sewer Line Cleaning
Backups in several fixtures point to the main line. We clear it and show you the pipe on video.
Sewer Line Cleaning details →Sump Pump Installation & Repair
A pump that quits during a storm is a basement-flooding problem, so we treat it as one.
Sump Pump Installation & Repair details →Leak Detection
Hidden leaks behind walls and under slabs are traced with listening gear and a meter check.

Overflowing, running or leaking toilets repaired or replaced.

Five steps that limit the damage
Water damage grows by the hour, and a few quick actions often decide whether you have a small repair or a large cleanup. Do what is safe and leave the rest to us.
Not sure if it is an emergency?
Call and describe it. Dispatch will tell you honestly whether it can wait for a regular appointment.
Gas smell is a different call
If you smell gas, do not call us first. Leave the house, then call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Do not flip switches or use a phone indoors. A plumber can help with gas piping after the utility has made the area safe.

Why plumbing problems look the way they do in Darien
Subdivisions from the 1960s and the pipes under them
Darien became a city in 1969 when residents of Marion Hills, Brookhaven, Farmingdale and Hinsbrook joined together. Many homes in these neighborhoods date from the 1960s and 1970s, which means older drain materials, aging water heaters and basements that depend on a working sump pump.
In practice, that is why we hear so much about floor drains that gurgle, water heaters past their prime and finished basements that flood after a hard rain. If your home is from that era, a camera look at the sewer line and a check of the sump pump are worth doing before trouble starts.
Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve runs along the south edge of the city, and heavy rain moves through the area quickly. When the ground is saturated, sump pumps work harder, and a pump that has not been tested in a year can fail exactly when it is needed.
Water, permits and who to ask
Darien buys treated Lake Michigan water from the City of Chicago. If you have a question about your water service, the City of Darien water operator can be reached at (630) 353-8105.
Plumbing changes in Darien go through the City's Community Development Department at 1702 Plainfield Road, and Illinois requires a state license for plumbing work. We can tell you whether a job you have in mind needs a permit when you call.

Questions Darien homeowners ask before they call
Yes. The dispatch line at (630) 822-9290 is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Same-day appointments are offered when available.
Shut off the main water valve, turn off the water heater if the pipe is near it and move belongings away from the water. Then call. We can talk you through the shutoff if you cannot find it.
If sewage is coming up, several fixtures are backing up at once or water is reaching the floor, treat it as urgent. A single slow sink can usually wait for a regular appointment.
Yes. The plumber gives a clear price before work starts, and you decide whether to go ahead.
Yes. We dispatch to Downers Grove, Woodridge, Willowbrook and Westmont as well as Darien itself.
Permits are required whenever plumbing is changed, and they come from the City's Community Development Department. Routine clearing of a clog does not usually involve changing the pipes. Work is held to the standards in the Illinois Plumbing Code (Title 77, Part 890 of the Illinois Administrative Code). Ask us on the call and we will tell you what applies to your job.
