Emergency Plumbing Help When Waiting Could Cause More Damage
Maximum Plumbing answers emergency plumbing calls in Lake Zurich 24 hours a day. Call for a burst pipe, active leak, overflowing toilet, sewer backup, failed sump pump, leaking water heater, broken shutoff valve, frozen-pipe concern, or sudden drain failure that threatens the property or prevents safe use of essential plumbing.
If it is safe, close the nearest fixture valve or the building's main water shutoff. Keep people away from sewage and from water near electrical equipment. When you call, explain what is leaking or backing up, which fixtures are affected, and whether water is still running so the immediate risk can be assessed.

Sump Pump Repair, Replacement & Backup Protection
Check the Entire System Before the Next Heavy Rain
A pump that is old, noisy, undersized, constantly running, short cycling, humming, tripping a breaker, or failing to start should be inspected before the next storm. The problem may involve the pump itself, float switch, check valve, intake, discharge piping, electrical supply, or the amount of groundwater entering the pit.
Maximum Plumbing repairs and replaces primary sump pumps and installs battery backup systems, and we service check valves, floats, discharge lines, pits, and sewage ejector pumps. Reliable protection depends on the entire system moving water away from the building without allowing it to flow back into the pit.
Do You Need a Battery Backup Sump Pump?
A backup system is worth considering when the primary pump runs frequently, the basement has flooded before, storms cause local power outages, or finished space and valuables are stored below grade. The backup provides a second pumping source if utility power fails or the primary unit stops, but its battery, charger, float, piping, and alarm also need periodic testing.
Call 847-393-3733 to schedule sump pump diagnosis, replacement, ejector pump service, or battery backup installation in Lake Zurich.

Certified Backflow Testing, Repair & Compliance Support
Does Lake Zurich Require Annual Backflow Testing?

Testing is also required after installation, repair, or relocation. Maximum Plumbing provides RPZ backflow testing, documentation, repair, replacement, and installation for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
- Annual RPZ and backflow preventer testing by a licensed CCCDI.
- Testing following installation, repair, or device relocation.

Water Heater Repair, Replacement & Installation
Diagnose the Water Heater Before Choosing Repair or Replacement
No hot water, changing temperatures, a leaking tank, discolored water, popping noises, pilot or ignition trouble, and pressure relief valve discharge can have different causes. Maximum Plumbing provides tank and tankless water heater service, including gas and electric equipment, expansion tanks, shutoff valves, supply connections, controls, heating components, safety devices, and related venting.
We inspect where the water is coming from, whether the tank remains sound, equipment age and corrosion, hot-water demand, prior repair history, and the condition of connected components. For replacement, sizing, fuel type, recovery rate, venting, expansion control, drainage, clearances, and Lake Zurich permit and inspection requirements all matter.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Water Heater?
Repair may make sense when the tank is sound and a replaceable control, heating component, valve, connection, or expansion tank has failed. Replacement is usually more practical when the tank itself leaks, corrosion is extensive, capacity no longer meets demand, or repeated repairs are approaching the cost of dependable new equipment.
Call Maximum Plumbing for residential or commercial water heater service in Lake Zurich, Barrington, Kildeer, Long Grove, Buffalo Grove, Palatine, Vernon Hills, and nearby suburbs.

Water Leak Repair in Vernon Hills, IL
On July 2nd I noticed the leak in my shower and it wouldn;t stop. I then decided to get a plumber. I called 6 Companies in the area,,,,,,,,,,Boston, Arrow, Allied, Maximum etc..................of the 6, Arrow did call but only to tell me "sorry we have none available". But Maximum called and said they were giving me an "emergency opening", and had a plumber. Within 2 hours he showed up and the young guy was an amazing, knowledgeable guy who explained every move he made. Can't remember name I think it was Lucas. Had they not come out that Friday, I would have been required to cut main valve and leave it off for the whole 4th of July weekend as the broken part would have streamed water behind the wall. Thank you to the owner George Maximum.,...........you were the ONLY one willing to help me! Thank You Tom Hartl

Plumbing Services, Leak Detection in Lake Zurich, IL
We called for an emergency leak at 8am and everything was fixed and back to normal by noon!. Very honest and didn't try to sell additional services that weren't needed. After the job was complete he showed me step by step what was done and how everything should operate.

Lucas is great! Spellcheck changed his name to “Luke” on my original review. I just wanted to clarify so that he gets the credit he deserves.
Paula
Kitchen/ Bathroom Plumbing in Lake Zurich, IL
My daughter recommended maximum plumbing services to me because she had several good experiences with the company. Their quotes to replace all three of my original toilets was extremely reasonable.. Luke was very responsive and helpful throughout our communications. On the date of service he was prompt, efficient, friendly, and neat. Most of all, he was very honest with me as we discussed the angle valves, etc. I highly recommend this company.

Very fast response from Maximum Plumbing when we called regarding water leaking in our shower. Lucas, our plumber, was professional, efficient, and knowledgeable about the work. We highly recommend this business.

Lucas replaced the garbage disposal and kitchen faucet set. Good work, on time and at the quoted price. Friendly and helpful. My new "go-to" plumbing service. We are in Crystal Lake.
Mark Walkie
Garbage Disposal in Lake Zurich, IL
Very happy with the service. After a quick assessment, the issue was easily fixed and did not require a new disposal. I will refer anyone in the area who needs a plumber.
Andy Accettola
Plumbing Services in Lake Zurich, IL
This recommendation is long overdue. Max has provided plumbing services to my address for nearly 10 years now. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and generous. Regarding the last point, on several occasions Max has fixed a plumbing issue and not accepted payment for his services despite my attempts to reimburse him. He says things like, “I was passing through anyway” or “it was an easy fix.” I wholeheartedly recommend Max and his plumbing services.

Water Leak Repair in Lake Zurich, IL
I recently contacted Maximum Plumbing to address a persistent leaking water valve that had been an issue for years. Maxim responded within hours, assessed the situation thoroughly, and provided clear explanations and next steps. The following day, after our condominium shut off the main water supply at 10 AM, Maxim arrived promptly with the necessary replacement parts he had sourced himself. By 11:30 AM, everything was repaired and fully operational. This isn't the first time I've used Maximum Plumbing, and every experience has been marked by professionalism and top-notch service. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable plumbing assistance.

Susan Yoo
Drain Cleaning Service in Lake Zurich, IL
Found this company through my neighborhood FB group. So many people recommended Maximum and no wonder why! Our kitchen sink was clogged and water was backing up through the sink and dishwasher so I needed someone to come ASAP. They picked up the phone and laid out what will/might be done and the price. They didn’t try to “add” any extra procedure. The person that came went above and beyond.. after he unclogged everything, he checked other places just to make sure and gave us tips and advice. Truly appreciate their service from customer service to the actual person who came over! Highly highly recommend!!!!

Great experience today - I texted Maxim the night before and he came over the next day (on a Saturday) and showed up even earlier than expected, and he texted when he was on the way over. We were desperately in need of a replacement spigot for front patio that had been leaking for many months. He fixed it in 20 minutes. Cost came in even less than what he had roughly quoted over text. Will definitely be using again in the future and referring to friends and family!

Honest, friendly, reliable. Installed two toilets, fixed my leaking shower, and came to the rescue when I needed a new water heater. OVERALL OUTSTANDING SERVICE. THANK YOU MAX !
Matthew Dragon
Plumbing Services in Lake Zurich, IL
Had 3 issues appear late one night, so I browsed for a local plumber. Maxim responded right away and was at my home the next morning. My leaking toilets had bad hardware, my leaking shower had a bad hose, and my upstairs bathroom wasn't getting hot water. In a brief 20 minute visit, Maxim identified the issues as minor (outdated hardware, temp setting was wrong, broken hose) and was back (and literally right on the time he said he'd be there) the next morning with all the exact replacement parts. Fair pricing and well done work. Maximum plumbing is now my only plumber, period.
Rick Rodgers

I used Maximum's service today for the first time. Max was prompt and courteous. He completed the repair in a timely fashion at a very fair price. Max comes across as an honest man. I highly recommend.
Kelly
Plumbing Services in Lake Zurich, IL
Excellent work. Was going to leave a positive review even if we ended up not hiring Max - he gave me advice over the phone and directed me to look into something else first to make sure it was a plumbing issue. Once hired, he was extremely efficient and quick. Thanks Max!
Paul Plo
Plumbing Services in Lake Zurich, IL
We recently remodeled our kitchen and bathrooms. Fairly large scale project with multiple challenges. First I have to say a big thank you to Max. He is professional, reliable, and provides excellent communication (something that is extremely important in any construction project) throughout the project. It has been a great pleasure working with Max, because I knew he always did an extra mile for me. I am a military veteran and my expectation in regards to time management, thinking outside the box, and reliability are very high. Max didn’t just meet my expectation, but exceeded them.
Steven Soszko

Wow! Max was so wonderful and completely saved us from an even bigger issue! He is nothing but kind, professional, honest, and hard working. We WILL be calling Max for ALL of our plumbing needs in the future! We HIGHLY recommend him.
Mathew Joseph
Water Leak Repair in Lake Zurich, IL
Had an emergency water leak at my mom's house the day after an intense polar vortex. A pipe burst inside a wall on her first level and was quickly flooding her home. I managed to turn off the water and isolate the leak. I called 10 different plumbers and the earliest I could get was 4 days away. I got in contact with Max and he was able to squeeze me into his busy schedule for the day. I sent him pictures of the repair and he was able to stop by and get the repair done quickly. He could've done a quick fix to get her by but chose to "fix it right". He also added a valve to the line so that we can shut off the water every winter (for an outdoor spigot). Thank you Max for your hard and honest work!
Scott Mason

Had a leak in the toilet above our garage, max came out and replaced the seal very quickly and efficiently.
Kevin Collins
Plumbing Services in Lake Zurich, IL
Max has helped us with several plumbing issues. He's quick and very honest. He was able to save me thousands because he was honest and not trying to up sell. I had several companies come out to look at my water heater and they all tried to sell me a new one. He came out and replaced the gas valve for a fraction of the price. He's also fixed our sump pump and was again way below market. He's quick to respond and always willing to work around your schedule! It's refreshing to have someone you can trust for an honest opinion and I can finally say "I got a guy" when it comes to a plumber! I would recommend him hands down!!
Clogged Drains | Main Lines | Sewer Backups | Lake Zurich IL
Drain Cleaning, Sewer Rodding & Hydro Jetting
Is the Blockage in One Drain or the Main Sewer Line?
One slow sink, tub, or shower often points to a local fixture or branch-drain restriction. A toilet that bubbles when another fixture drains, water rising through a floor drain, or several fixtures backing up together can indicate a main sewer line problem. Stop using water during an active sewage backup so additional discharge does not enter the building.
Maximum Plumbing provides fixture drain cleaning, sewer and main-line rodding, camera inspection, and hydro jetting for Lake Zurich homes, restaurants, businesses, and managed properties. Rodding can cut or break through roots, paper, scale, and solid obstructions. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to remove grease, sludge, sediment, and recurring buildup when pipe condition and access make it appropriate.
