Like any other home system, pipes sometimes need repair—or full replacement. The tricky part is that many leaks happen behind walls, under floors, or underground. Watch for these common warning signs:
- A sudden, unexplained increase in your water bill
- Wet or damp spots in the yard, on walls, ceilings, or floors
- Mold or mildew growth near plumbing areas
- Low or inconsistent water pressure
If you’re seeing any of the signs above, it’s smart to schedule a professional inspection before a small leak turns into major damage.
Preventing frozen pipes is usually easier (and cheaper) than repairing them. During Chicago cold snaps, a few simple steps can dramatically reduce your risk:
- Insulate exposed pipes in basements, crawlspaces, garages, and exterior walls.
- Keep a small trickle running from vulnerable faucets during extreme cold.
- Open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air circulate.
- Set the thermostat consistently day and night (avoid big temperature drops).
Even with precautions, pipes can still freeze. If water flow slows or stops, don’t wait—frozen sections can burst as they thaw. Contact us right away for fast frozen pipe repair in Chicago.
