Our emergency service covers all urgent plumbing issues: burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, failed water heaters, and broken gas lines. Our fully stocked trucks carry the tools and parts needed for most common repairs, so we can often provide a permanent fix on the first visit. The process begins with a thorough assessment to understand the full scope of the problem. We then provide a clear, upfront estimate before any work begins. Our skilled technicians work efficiently to resolve the immediate danger, clean up the area, and explain what caused the issue to help prevent future emergencies.

Slow drains, recurring clogs, and foul odors are signs your drainage system needs professional attention. Apex Plumbing & Sewer provides expert drain cleaning and sewer repair services for Chicago, IL homes and businesses. We tackle blockages in sink drains, shower drains, floor drains, toilet stacks, and main sewer lines using advanced technology like motorized drain snakes and high-pressure water jetting.

Our process starts with a diagnostic inspection to locate the clog and identify its cause—whether it's accumulated grease, soap scum, foreign objects, or invasive tree roots. For simple clogs, we use powerful augers to break up the obstruction. For tougher jobs or full sewer line clearing, we employ state-of-the-art hydro-jetting that blasts away debris and restores full pipe diameter. If a video inspection reveals a damaged sewer line, we provide honest recommendations for repair or replacement, including trenchless options where possible. We serve both residential and commercial properties, handling everything from kitchen grease traps to main sewer line backups. Don't let a clog disrupt your life; our team ensures your water flows freely again, quickly and effectively.

Nothing disrupts a day like a cold shower. Apex Plumbing & Sewer provides comprehensive water heater services for Chicago, IL, including repair, maintenance, and installation of both traditional tank and modern tankless models. We work on all major brands and types, from standard gas and electric units to high-efficiency and commercial-grade systems.

If your water heater is leaking, making strange noises, not producing enough hot water, or has completely failed, our technicians can diagnose the issue accurately. Many problems, like a faulty thermostat, heating element, or pressure relief valve, can be repaired quickly. However, if your unit is old, inefficient, or damaged beyond repair, we'll guide you through the replacement options. We handle the entire installation process: safely disconnecting and removing the old unit, ensuring proper plumbing and gas line connections, installing the new water heater to code, and testing it for safe operation. We also offer maintenance services to extend the life of your unit and improve its efficiency. Trust us to restore your reliable hot water supply with expertise and precision.

Apex Plumbing & Sewer specializes in diagnosing and fixing sewer line problems throughout Chicago, IL.

Signs you may need sewer line service include multiple drains backing up simultaneously, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in your yard or basement, and soggy patches or sinkholes in your lawn. We begin with a thorough video camera inspection, snaking a flexible camera into your line to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the problem, such as cracks, bellies, root intrusion, or collapse. Based on our findings, we present all repair options. For many issues, trenchless pipe lining or pipe bursting techniques can rehabilitate the line with minimal disruption to your landscaping, driveway, or foundation. For severe damage, we perform traditional excavation and replacement. Our team manages the entire project, from permits to restoration, ensuring a durable, long-term solution for your home or business.
