Commercial Plumbing

Commercial plumbing needs are different from residential. Our plumbers understand backflow requirements, floor drain regulations, grease trap compliance, and the scheduling demands of active business operations.

Around-the-clock emergency plumbing for burst pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, gas leaks, and water heater failures. Our licensed emergency plumbers respond fast to stop damage and restore your plumbing.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair replaces damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. We use pipe lining and pipe bursting methods to save time, money, and the mess of conventional excavation.

Sump Pump Installation

Professional sump pump installation for new construction and pump replacements. We handle the pit setup, discharge line routing, electrical connections, and test the completed installation under load.

Gas Line Repair

Gas line leaks demand immediate professional attention. Our licensed plumbers diagnose and repair gas line failures safely, using proper materials and testing to ensure your gas system is secure and code-compliant.

Toilet Repair

Professional toilet repair and installation. We diagnose running, leaking, rocking, and weak-flushing toilets and restore full performance with quality replacement parts. New installations handled the same way.

Water line breaks can disrupt your entire home's water supply. Our licensed plumbers repair or replace damaged main lines and service connections quickly, restoring full water pressure and flow to your property.

Garbage Disposal

When your garbage disposal jams, leaks, or stops working, our plumbers diagnose the problem fast. We repair what makes sense and replace units that are beyond repair with quality new disposals.

Sewer Camera Inspection

High-definition sewer camera inspection for residential and commercial properties. Our plumbers document the condition of your sewer line and provide a copy of the footage with our professional assessment.

Sewer Line Repair

Sewer line problems cause backups, odors, and potential health hazards. Our plumbers use video cameras to inspect the line, identify the damage, and repair or reline the pipe — often without full excavation.

Water Heater Repair

No hot water? Our licensed plumbers diagnose and repair water heater problems on the first visit whenever possible. We service all major tank and tankless brands and carry common repair parts on our service vehicles.

Leak Detection

Advanced leak detection using thermal imaging, electronic sensors, and pressure testing to find hidden leaks in walls, floors, and underground. Accurate detection prevents costly water damage and unnecessary demolition.

Slab Leak Repair

Expert slab leak detection and repair using electronic sensors and thermal imaging to pinpoint leaks under your foundation. We perform minimally invasive repairs to protect your structure and stop water waste.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Professional grease trap cleaning for commercial kitchens of all sizes. Reliable schedules, full compliance paperwork, and a clean trap every time — keeping your operation running and inspection-ready.

Repiping

If your home suffers from frequent leaks, low pressure, or discolored water, repiping may be the solution. We replace your entire water supply system with modern pipe materials and restore full pressure and water quality.

Pipe Repair

Professional pipe repair for leaks, corrosion, and breaks in supply lines, drain lines, and waste pipes. Our licensed plumbers diagnose the cause and perform lasting repairs using quality materials.

Faucet Repair

A dripping faucet wastes hundreds of gallons per month. Our licensed plumbers diagnose and repair kitchen, bathroom, and utility faucets of all brands and types — stopping leaks and restoring smooth operation.

Hydro Jetting

When snaking is not enough, hydro jetting clears the pipe completely. Our professional jetters use pressurized water to blast away grease, scale, and root intrusion — restoring full pipe capacity for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about plumbing in Chicago? We have answers.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in Chicago, IL?

To prevent frozen pipes in Chicago, insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages, crawl spaces, and attics. Keep cabinet doors under sinks open during cold snaps. Let faucets drip slightly during freezing temperatures. If a pipe does freeze, call Magnet Plumbing immediately rather than attempting to thaw it yourself to avoid a burst.

How do I find a licensed plumber in Chicago, IL?

When hiring a plumber in Chicago, always verify their IL license and insurance. A licensed plumber must pass state examinations and carry liability coverage that protects your property. Magnet Plumbing employs licensed, background-checked plumbers throughout Illinois — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.

What plumbing emergencies require immediate service in Chicago?

Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in Chicago. A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons per hour, and gas leaks pose fire and explosion risks. Magnet Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing service throughout Chicago and surrounding Illinois communities.

How long does a plumbing repair take in Chicago, IL?

Simple repairs like faucet replacement, toilet repair, or drain clearing in Chicago often take 1 to 2 hours. More complex jobs like slab leak repair, water line replacement, or water heater installation typically take a half to a full day. Whole-home repiping can take 2 to 4 days. Magnet Plumbing provides a clear time estimate before starting any job.

When should I replace my water heater in Chicago, IL?

Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Consider replacement when your unit is over 10 years old, produces rusty or discolored water, makes rumbling or popping noises, or requires frequent repairs. Magnet Plumbing offers free water heater assessments to help Chicago homeowners decide between repair and replacement.

Does homeowners insurance cover plumbing repairs in Chicago, IL?

In Chicago, homeowners insurance typically covers sudden and accidental plumbing damage such as a burst pipe flooding your home. The cost of repairing the pipe itself may not be covered, but the resulting water damage often is. Gradual leaks and corrosion from neglected maintenance are usually excluded. Call (844) 618-0753 if you need documentation for a claim.
