Haygood Plumbing connects homeowners in Illinois with independent, locally based plumbers. We're a referral network. The plumber you speak with runs their own business and does the work, not us.

Illinois winters are hard on plumbing. Frozen and burst pipes are common, especially in older homes with plumbing along exterior walls. In and around Chicago, many houses have aging clay or cast-iron sewer lines, basement floor drains and sump pumps that work hard during spring rains. Further south, rural homes often have wells and septic systems.

When you call, we'll connect you with a plumber who serves your area. They'll look at the problem and give you a price before any work starts. Illinois licenses plumbers through the Department of Public Health, so ask for a license number if you want to verify it. Our line is open 24/7 for anyone in Illinois.

Basement floor drain started backing up every time the washer drained. The plumber I got connected with ran a camera, found the line partly collapsed under the slab, and gave me a clear explanation of the repair. Big job, but he was upfront about every step.

Our Chicago two-flat had a toilet that clogged if you looked at it wrong. The plumber found an old low-flow model with a narrow trapway and recommended a replacement. I went with it and haven't touched a plunger since.

I called Haygood about a gas smell near our water heater in Illinois. The plumber they sent me to shut off the gas, found a cracked flex connector, replaced it, and leak-tested everything. He took it seriously without scaring us.

Plumbing FAQs

Frequently Asked Plumbing Questions

Common questions about finding a plumber in Illinois.

Talk to a real person

How does Haygood Plumbing work?

Haygood Plumbing is a referral service. We do not send out our own crews. When you call (866) 643-1110, we take down your address and a short description of the problem, then connect you with an independent, locally operated plumber who serves your area and handles that type of job. From there, you talk directly with the plumber about the work, the schedule, and the price. Any agreement for the repair is between you and the plumber who takes your job.

Is there a charge to call or to be connected with a plumber?

No. The call to Haygood Plumbing and the connection to a local plumber are free. You only pay for work you agree to with the plumber directly. Some plumbers charge a trip or diagnostic fee to come out and look at the problem, so it is a good idea to ask about that when you first speak with them, before they head to your home.

Are the plumbers independent businesses?

Yes. The plumbers we connect you with are independent, locally operated businesses. They are not employees of Haygood Plumbing. Each one runs their own company, sets their own prices and schedule, and is responsible for the work they perform. Because of that, it is worth asking the plumber the same questions you would ask any contractor, such as how they price the job and what happens if the problem comes back.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

It depends on the age of the unit and what has failed. Problems like a bad thermocouple, gas valve, heating element, or thermostat are often worth repairing. A tank that is leaking from the body, badly rusted, or near the end of its expected life is usually a candidate for replacement. Ask the plumber to explain the cost of each option and how much life the current unit likely has left.

What should I do if a pipe bursts before the plumber arrives?

Shut off the main water valve right away. It is often near where the water line enters the house, in a basement or garage, or at the meter by the street. Then open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain the remaining water from the lines. If water is near outlets or appliances, turn off power at the breaker only if you can reach it safely. Move valuables out of the way and take photos for your records.
