WHILE YOU WAIT

What to do right now

Call us first, then, if you can do it safely, these steps can limit the damage until we arrive.

Shut off the water

For most emergencies, stop the water. Use the fixture's shutoff valve, or the main shutoff (often where the water line enters the house) to stop the whole home.

Kill power to the area if water is near electrical

If water is near outlets, appliances, or the panel and you can reach the breaker safely, cut power to that area. Never touch electrical in standing water.

For a sewage backup, stay clear

Stop using all water in the house, keep people and pets away from the backup, and don't try to clear it yourself. It's a health hazard.

Contain what you can

Towels, buckets, and moving valuables out of the water can limit damage while you wait, but only if it's safe to be in the area.

Then call us

Call (708) 204-8602 and tell us what's happening. We'll tell you what else to do and how fast we can be there.

Don't know where your main shutoff is?

Call us — (708) 204-8602 — and we'll help you find it over the phone. Knowing where it is before an emergency is worth two minutes; ask us to point it out next time we're there.

WE HANDLE IT

Plumbing emergencies we respond to

If it can't wait until morning, it's what we're here for. Each of these is a call we take 24/7.

Burst or leaking pipes
A burst pipe can flood a home fast. We stop the leak and repair the line before the water damage spreads.
Sewage backups
Sewage coming up through drains is a health hazard and an emergency. We find the cause and clear it.
Flooding basements
A failed sump pump during a storm, or water coming in fast. We respond and get the water moving out.
No hot water
A dead water heater in a Chicago winter is an emergency. We diagnose and get hot water back.
Major clogs & overflows
An overflowing toilet or a main line backing up into the house, cleared before it floods.
Frozen & broken pipes
Western suburb winters freeze and burst pipes. We thaw, repair, and help you prevent the next one.

COMMERCIAL SERVICE

Commercial Plumbing Emergencies

A plumbing emergency at a business isn't just damage, it's lost revenue for every hour you're closed. A burst line, a sewage backup on the retail floor, or a water heater failure in a restaurant can shut you down, and every hour matters. Ace Plumbing & Sewer answers commercial emergencies across Chicago's western suburbs 24/7, and we prioritize getting you stabilized and back open as fast as the situation allows. Existing maintenance clients we can reach even faster, because we already know the building.

If you manage commercial property, having an emergency plumber who already knows your buildings is worth a great deal at 2 a.m. See our commercial plumbing services, or just call (708) 204-8602 when you need us.

FAQ

Emergency plumbing questions

Quick answers for when something's gone wrong. But if it's an emergency, call first — (708) 204-8602.

(708) 204-8602

If it's causing damage, threatening your health, or can't safely wait until morning, it's an emergency. Burst or badly leaking pipes, a flooding basement, sewage backing up into the home, a total loss of water, and no hot water in freezing weather all qualify. So does a major clog overflowing or a gas smell near a water heater. When in doubt, call us at (708) 204-8602 and describe what's happening, we'll tell you honestly whether it needs immediate response or whether it can safely wait for a scheduled visit, which sometimes saves you an emergency call.

For most water emergencies, the first move is to shut off the water, either at the fixture's own shutoff valve or at the home's main shutoff if the problem is widespread or you're not sure of the source. If water is near electrical outlets or the panel and you can reach the breaker safely, cut power to that area, but never touch electrical components in standing water. For a sewage backup, stop using all water in the house and keep everyone clear, since it's a health hazard. Then call us at (708) 204-8602 and we'll walk you through the rest.

As fast as the situation allows, and being local to the western suburbs means we're not coming from an hour away. When you call, we'll give you a realistic time based on where you are and what's happening, and we prioritize true emergencies, active flooding, sewage, a burst line, over routine calls. The honest answer varies with the day and the situation, but you'll always get a straight answer when you call rather than an empty promise, and a real person to talk to while you wait.

A real person answers, day or night, at (708) 204-8602. We know that "24/7" too often means an answering service that takes a message and a callback that comes hours later, and in an actual emergency that's useless. When you call us in the middle of the night, you reach someone who can actually help, tell you what to do right now, and get you on the schedule for immediate response. That's the whole point of an emergency line, and it's how we've done it for 40 years.

Emergency and after hours response can carry a different rate than a scheduled daytime visit, which is standard in the trade, but we're upfront about it rather than surprising you on the bill. When you call, we'll be clear about what to expect. And we'll also tell you honestly if what you're describing can safely wait for a regular appointment and save you the emergency rate, because keeping your trust is worth more to us than one after hours call. We'd rather be straight with you at 2 a.m. than lose you as a customer.

What Drain Cleaning Costs in Burr Ridge & Downers Grove

Price depends on three things: which drain, how bad, and what caused it. A single slow bathroom sink is a straightforward job. A root-clogged main sewer line that needs jetting and a camera inspection is a bigger one. Anything reachable from an accessible cleanout costs less than a line that has to be opened up to get to.

What doesn't vary is how we quote it. We look at the drain, tell you what it will take, and give you the number before any work starts. No diagnostic fee that turns into a surprise, no upsell to a repair you don't need. If the honest answer is that a $200 cleaning buys you six months and the real fix is sewer line repair, we'll tell you that too — and you decide.

Call or text (708) 204-8602 for a quote. We answer 24/7, and emergency drain cleaning is available same day.
