Sewer & Plumbing Services in Pilsen, IL

Locating leaks in cast iron lines beneath 18th Street corridor buildings

Water Line Repair & Replacement

Pilsen's pre-1945 buildings often have original galvanized or cast iron lines. Corrosion, mineral buildup, and ground settlement create low pressure and discolored water. We locate leaks without invasive digging and replace deteriorated sections with durable PEX or copper.

• Leak detection using non-invasive methods
• Targeted pipe replacement (not whole-house rip-out)
• Pressure testing and water quality checks

Ejector Pump Installation & Repair

Below-street sewer lines require ejector pumps in many Pilsen properties, especially lower levels near the Chicago River. We install new pumps, repair failing ones, and ensure backup power for reliability during outages.

• Submersible and pedestal pump options
• Pit sizing and alarm system setup
• Emergency repairs for pump failure

Backwater Valve Installation & Repair

Heavy rain and street flooding cause sewage backups in low-lying Pilsen homes. Backwater valves prevent waste from entering your property. We install check valves on drain lines and repair or replace existing systems that fail.

• Single and dual-valve configurations
• Clean-out access port maintenance
• Repair and replacement of stuck valves

Leak Detection Services

Hidden leaks waste water and damage historic wood joists and brick masonry. We use acoustic sensors and pressure testing to locate leaks before walls are opened. Pilsen buildings deserve careful, non-destructive investigation.

• Acoustic leak detection (no wall damage)
• Dye testing and pressure isolation
• Video pipe inspection available
