Pipe Repair

No matter how diligent you are about maintenance, you can still be inconvenienced with pipe issues - especially if you live in an older home. However, you don't have to reside in a home that's 40 years or older to experience pipe issues. Most homeowners are surprised at how much damage a leaking pipe can cause. The physical damage can be extensive, and the increase in the water bill will also come as a shock. Because most pipes are located beneath floors and behind walls, pinpointing exactly where a leak is occurring isn't always easy.

Backflow Prevention

Not everyone is aware of the importance of a backflow prevention solution in a residential plumbing system. They are an important part of the system because they prevent adverse health effects that can be caused by wastewater going the wrong direction and entering the "fresh" water supply. Backflow is the reverse flow of contaminants into your potable water supply. Essentially, backflow prevention solutions safeguard drinking water from becoming contaminated by backflow. Old World Plumbing offers backflow prevention services to keep our clients safe and clean water flowing in the right direction.

Gas Heaters

There's nothing like taking a hot shower in the morning, or having warm water to wash the face at night. Having a ready, seemingly inexhaustible supply of hot water is something most people take for granted, but the water heater that tirelessly produces the hot water we rely upon for a number of household tasks is an afterthought when it is functioning properly. A gas water heater is the most commonly used type in homes across the United States today. Gas heaters provide much faster access to hot water than electric units.

Water Heater

Old World Plumbing is a leading provider of water heater services in the greater Chicago area. Our clients rely on us to install new systems, replace old and obsolete equipment, make repairs and carry out annual inspections of their water heaters. If you're experiencing some issues with your hot water, don't wait until your unit completely fails -there is a chance that a simple repair could keep you up and running in little time at little cost. The plumbing professionals at Old World Plumbing can give you an idea of when your particular unit will need to be replaced, and we've worked with all kinds, so we can recommend units that will work perfectly for your needs.

Tankless

Continuous flow, on-demand, instant-on water heater, instantaneous - the tankless water heater goes by many names. These units can be installed in multiple places in a home, as they don't take up much room. Ask your Old World Plumbing plumber if a tankless system is the one for you. Many homeowners in Kane, Kendall, Cook and DuPage Counties found that they are and they are thankful for their tankless systems. As the name implies, there is no tank of water involved in a tankless water heater. The water simply runs through a heat exchanger coil, usually made of copper for its high thermal conductivity, and comes out of the faucet hot.

Emergency Plumber

Let's face it - the majority of the time homeowners call upon a plumber, it's in an emergency situation. There's never really a convenient time for a pipe to burst, a drain to clog or a toilet to malfunction. Fortunately, at Old World Plumbing we understand that these dire situations require immediate assistance and we're committed to providing emergency services. Our customers know that just because they are having an emergency, they don't deserve to be charged an arm and a leg for our services.

Water Treatment

Have you ever noticed a strange taste and smell from your tap water? How about discoloring around your faucets and showerhead? Do you see lime scale in your sinks and in your tub?

Furthermore, our water treatment systems are also designed to disinfect bacteria and improve the quality of the water you consume.
