24/7 Emergency Plumber | Leak & Pipe Repair | Arlington Heights, IL
Emergency Plumbing Service in Arlington Heights, IL
Maximum Plumbing answers emergency plumbing calls in Arlington Heights 24 hours a day. Call for burst pipes, active leaks, overflowing toilets, sewer backups, failed sump pumps, leaking water heaters, broken shutoff valves, frozen-pipe concerns, and sudden drain failures that threaten property, sanitation, or normal building use.
If it is safe, close the nearest fixture valve or the building's main water shutoff while help is on the way. Our plumber will locate the affected line or fixture, determine whether the failure is isolated or connected to a larger system problem, and explain the repair before work begins. Fast action can reduce damage when a pipe breaks behind a wall, a tank begins leaking, a floor drain backs up, or a sump pump stops during a storm.
- Burst pipe, frozen pipe, and active leak repair for homes and businesses.
- Emergency water heater service for leaking tanks, no hot water, and unsafe connections.
- Sewer backup, main line blockage, overflowing toilet, and urgent drain cleaning service.
- Sump pump failure, battery backup concerns, and basement flood prevention support.
Leak Detection, Pipe Repair & Plumbing Troubleshooting
A ceiling stain, low water pressure, unexplained water use, sewer odor, loose toilet, dripping valve, or damp cabinet can signal a concealed leak or failing component. We check the relevant fixtures, valves, supply lines, drains, venting, appliance connections, pressure, and accessible piping instead of treating only the visible symptom.
We repair copper and PEX water lines, PVC drains, toilet flanges, sink drains, faucet connections, hose bibbs, shutoff valves, water heater connections, sump pump discharge lines, and other residential and commercial plumbing components. You receive a clear diagnosis and practical guidance about whether the affected part should be repaired, replaced, or monitored.

Leak Repair & Emergency Service
Tank & Tankless Water Heaters | Arlington Heights IL
Water Heater Repair, Replacement & Installation
Our Arlington Heights water heater service covers no hot water, inconsistent temperature, leaking tanks, pilot and ignition problems, unusual noises, discolored water, pressure concerns, failed valves, and aging equipment. We diagnose gas and electric tank systems, tankless water heaters, expansion tanks, shutoffs, supply connections, pressure relief components, and related venting.
Repair can make sense when the tank is sound and the failure involves a replaceable control, heating component, valve, connection, or expansion tank. Replacement is usually safer when the tank leaks, corrosion is extensive, capacity no longer meets demand, or repeated repairs are becoming expensive. Before installation, we review fuel type, sizing, recovery needs, venting, expansion control, and required connections.
- Water heater repair for leaks, poor performance, pressure relief valve issues, and hot water loss.
- Water heater replacement with attention to sizing, venting, expansion tanks, and code-compliant connections.
- Tankless water heater troubleshooting, repair, replacement, and installation.
Basement Flood Protection | Battery Backup | Arlington Heights IL
Sump Pump Repair, Replacement & Battery Backup Systems
A sump pump that is old, undersized, clogged, stuck, short cycling, humming, tripping a breaker, or running constantly should be checked before the next heavy rain. Maximum Plumbing repairs and installs sump pumps and battery backup systems, check valves, float switches, discharge piping, ejector pumps, and related basement protection components throughout Arlington Heights.
Reliable protection depends on the entire system. The float must move freely, the check valve must stop water from returning, the discharge line must carry water away, and the pump needs enough capacity for the property's groundwater load. A battery backup adds protection during an outage or primary-pump failure.
- Primary sump pump repair and replacement for noisy, weak, stuck, or failed pumps.
- Battery backup sump pump installation for storm protection and power outage reliability.
- Check valve, discharge pipe, float switch, pit, and ejector pump troubleshooting.

Kitchen/ Bathroom Plumbing in Buffalo Grove, IL
Lucas come out today and was able to fix some our plumbing issues in the basement and install a new faucet for one of the bathrooms. He was quick, efficient and very nice even to our cat!!! Would highly recommend him!!!

Excellent job and very friendly.
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!

Kitchen/ Bathroom Plumbing in Lake Zurich, IL
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.

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

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
Water Leak Repair in Lake Zurich, IL
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!!
Atul Anand
Water Leak Repair in Lake Zurich, IL
He is a gem. No nonsense to the point approach to get stuff done, whatever it takes. Helped us with fixing a leak that has been bothering us for a while. Its very rare to find someone match exactly how the google reviews describe him.. A keeper for sure.
Alex Baru
Water Heater Service in Lake Zurich, IL
My old water heater developed a leak and needed replacement. Maxim walked me through the replacement options and made a recommendation for the size and brand for a new unit. His pricing was the best out of the quotes I got and he was at my house with a new water heater within a couple hours. The installation was flawless and I could tell the quality of workmanship was top notch (I'm a "handy man" and can tell if someone is doing his job properly). After the installation was completed he even neatly cleaned up the area. Maxim is my go to plumber going forward!

Drain Cleaning, Sewer Rodding & Hydro Jetting in Arlington Heights IL
Slow sinks, backed-up floor drains, bubbling toilets, and several clogged fixtures can indicate problems ranging from a local fixture blockage to a restricted main sewer line. Maximum Plumbing provides drain cleaning, sewer and main-line rodding, and hydro jetting for Arlington Heights homes, restaurants, offices, multi-unit properties, and other commercial facilities.
Sewer rodding uses cable equipment and cutting heads to break through roots, paper, scale, and other obstructions. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, sludge, sediment, and buildup from pipe walls. We select the method after considering the clog location, pipe condition, line access, and whether the blockage is isolated or recurring.
Drain & Sewer Services We Provide
- Kitchen sink drain cleaning for grease, soap, food debris, and disposal-related clogs.
- Bathroom drain cleaning for tubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and slow-moving fixture drains.
- Main sewer line rodding for sewer backups, floor drain backups, root intrusion, and blocked sewer lines.
- Hydro jetting for grease, sludge, recurring clogs, commercial drains, and heavy buildup.
- Commercial drain maintenance for restaurants, retail buildings, offices, multi-unit properties, and managed facilities.
Sewer Backups, Floor Drains & Recurring Clogs
If a floor drain backs up while the washing machine runs, a toilet bubbles as the shower drains, or several fixtures clog together, the restriction may be in the main sewer line. Roots, grease, scale, old cast iron, damaged clay tile, settled pipe sections, and partial blockages near a cleanout can all contribute. We can clear the line and explain whether preventive maintenance, hydro jetting, or additional inspection should be considered.

Repair or Replace? | Practical Plumbing Diagnostics | Arlington Heights, IL
Clear Recommendations Before You Approve the Work
Should I Repair or Replace My Water Heater?
Repair may make sense when the tank is sound and the problem involves a thermostat, heating element, burner, igniter, valve, vent connection, or expansion tank. Replacement is usually more practical when the tank leaks, corrosion is widespread, hot-water capacity no longer meets demand, or repeated repairs are approaching the cost of a dependable new unit. We inspect the equipment, connections, venting, age, condition, and performance before making a recommendation. Learn more about our water heater repair and installation services.
Should I Repair or Replace My Sump Pump?
A sump pump may only need service when a stuck float, clogged intake, failed check valve, loose connection, or discharge restriction is causing the problem. Replacement is often safer when the motor is unreliable, the housing is damaged, the pump repeatedly overheats, or the system cannot keep up with normal groundwater. We test the cycle, float movement, check valve, discharge path, power supply, and backup protection before recommending the next step. Review our sump pump and battery backup options.
Is Sewer Rodding or Hydro Jetting Better?
Neither method is better for every line. Sewer rodding is often effective for roots, paper blockages, and obstructions that must be cut or broken apart. Hydro jetting is especially useful for grease, sludge, scale, and recurring buildup coating the pipe walls. Pipe material, access, line condition, and the cause of the clog should guide the choice. Our drain and main-line service explains both options in more detail.
