Plumbing Service Built Around Mundelein Properties
Mundelein combines established houses, newer subdivisions, downtown apartments, townhomes, restaurants, retail buildings, schools, offices, and industrial properties. Plumbing conditions vary across properties near the Metra station, Diamond Lake, US Route 45, Route 176, Townline Road, Butterfield Road, and Midlothian Road. Some calls involve aging drain or supply piping; others begin with a newer fixture, pump, valve, appliance connection, or commercial system that has failed unexpectedly.
Maximum Plumbing starts with the symptom and traces it to the affected system. That may mean separating a fixture clog from a main-line restriction, testing whether poor hot-water performance is caused by the heater or a connected component, or determining whether basement water resulted from a failed pump, check valve, discharge problem, or power loss. Call 847-393-3733 to describe the problem and request service.
Residential Plumbing for Houses, Townhomes & Condos
A recurring toilet clog, damp cabinet, sewer odor, noisy water heater, slow laundry drain, or frequently cycling sump pump is useful diagnostic information. We inspect the related fixture, valves, piping, drainage, venting, pressure, or pump components before recommending a repair. Our work covers copper, PEX, PVC, cast iron, galvanized pipe, and mixed-material systems commonly found in properties that have been updated over time.
Residential service includes leak and pipe repair, fixture replacement, water heaters, sump and ejector pumps, battery backups, drain cleaning, sewer rodding, garbage disposals, shutoff valves, supply connections, pressure-related components, and planned plumbing upgrades.
Local Plumbing Diagnosis & Repair
Lake Michigan Water | Building Plumbing | Mundelein, IL
Know Whether a Water Problem Starts Inside or Outside the Property
Mundelein distributes Lake Michigan water through its municipal system, which includes receiving and distribution stations, storage, meters, hydrants, and public water mains. A village-wide or block-wide change in water pressure, color, or service can require a call to Mundelein Utilities. A problem limited to one building or fixture is more likely to involve the property's shutoff valves, pressure controls, supply piping, water heater, aerators, cartridges, or other plumbing components.
We diagnose isolated low pressure, leaking service connections inside the property, failed pressure-reducing valves, noisy piping, water heater problems, fixture flow issues, and unexplained water use. If the evidence points beyond the building plumbing, we explain why the Village or another utility may need to be involved.
- One fixture has low flow: check the aerator, cartridge, local shutoff, or branch supply.
- The entire property has low pressure: inspect the main valve, regulator, meter-side conditions, and supply piping.
- Nearby properties share the problem: contact Mundelein Utilities to check the public system.
Common Reasons Mundelein Customers Call a Plumber
Several Drains Back Up
Bubbling toilets, floor-drain water, and simultaneous clogs can point to a main sewer restriction.
Hot Water Becomes Unreliable
A failed heating component, burner, valve, control, connection, or aging tank may be responsible.
A Sump Pump Runs Constantly
Float, check-valve, intake, discharge, sizing, groundwater, or pump wear issues need attention.
Water Appears Where It Should Not
Supply lines, shutoffs, fixture seals, drains, tanks, and concealed piping can all be sources.

Clogged Drains | Main Lines | Hydro Jetting | Mundelein, IL
Drain Cleaning & Sewer Rodding in Mundelein IL
A slow kitchen sink can be a fixture-level clog, while a toilet that bubbles when the washer drains can point farther downstream. Maximum Plumbing provides drain cleaning, main-line rodding, and hydro jetting for Mundelein houses, apartments, restaurants, offices, retail buildings, and managed properties. We consider which fixtures are affected, where water reappears, how quickly the problem returned, and what pipe access is available before choosing equipment.
Rodding is often effective when roots, paper, scale, or another obstruction must be cut or broken apart. Hydro jetting can be useful when grease, sludge, sediment, and recurring buildup coat the pipe walls. Neither process is automatically right for every line; pipe material, condition, diameter, access, and the suspected cause matter.
Drain & Main-Line Problems We Handle
- Kitchen, bathroom, shower, tub, laundry, utility sink, and floor-drain clogs.
- Main sewer line restrictions causing toilet bubbling, multiple slow drains, or sewage backup.
- Root intrusion, grease, sludge, paper blockages, scale, and recurring line buildup.
- Restaurant, multi-unit, restroom, floor-drain, and scheduled commercial drain maintenance.
When Is a Clog Probably in the Main Sewer Line?
The strongest warning is more than one affected fixture. Water rising in a floor drain, a toilet gurgling when another fixture runs, or a lower-level drain backing up as water is used upstairs often means the restriction is beyond a single trap. Stop running water during an active sewage backup so additional discharge does not enter the building.
Clearing flow solves the immediate blockage, but a line that backs up repeatedly may need a different maintenance method or further inspection. Roots, damaged or offset pipe, settled sections, scale, grease, and incomplete prior cleaning can produce similar symptoms. We explain what the service revealed and what next step is reasonable without presenting every recurring clog as an automatic sewer replacement.

Basement Protection | Battery Backups | Mundelein, IL
Sump Pump, Battery Backup & Ejector Pump Service
A sump pump is only one part of the basement protection system. The float must move freely, the intake must remain open, the check valve must keep discharged water from returning, and the pipe must carry water away without freezing or restricting flow. Maximum Plumbing repairs and installs sump pumps and battery backup systems throughout Mundelein, along with related check valves, discharge piping, pits, switches, and ejector pumps.
Warning signs include constant running, rapid short cycling, loud vibration, humming without pumping, breaker trips, a stuck float, water returning to the pit, or a pump that cannot keep up during rain. A battery backup provides a second pumping source when utility power fails or the primary pump stops, but the battery, charger, float, piping, and backup pump also need periodic testing.
- Primary sump pump diagnosis, repair, replacement, and capacity review.
- Battery backup installation and testing for outages and primary-pump failures.
- Float switches, check valves, discharge lines, pits, and sewage ejector pumps.
Burst Pipes | Active Leaks | Sewer Backups | Mundelein, IL
24/7 Emergency Plumber for Urgent Mundelein Repairs
Maximum Plumbing answers emergency calls in Mundelein 24 hours a day. Call when a burst pipe, active leak, overflowing toilet, sewer backup, failed sump pump, broken shutoff, leaking water heater, frozen-pipe concern, or sudden drain failure threatens the building or prevents safe use of essential plumbing.
If it is safe, close the nearest fixture shutoff or the main water valve. Keep people away from sewage and from water near electrical equipment. Then call and describe what is leaking or backing up, which fixtures are affected, and whether the water is still running. Those details help establish the immediate risk while a plumber locates the source and explains the repair.
- Burst, frozen, split, or leaking water lines and failed shutoff valves.
- Active sewer backups, overflowing toilets, and sudden main-line blockages.
- Leaking water heater tanks, no hot water, and unsafe connection concerns.
- Sump pump failure and urgent basement water-control problems.
Leak & Pipe Troubleshooting Beyond the Visible Drip
A damp ceiling, cabinet damage, low pressure, higher-than-expected water use, loose toilet, or water stain can originate at a fixture seal, supply tube, valve, drain joint, appliance connection, or concealed pipe. We inspect accessible components connected to the symptom and provide a clear recommendation to repair, replace, or monitor the affected part.

thomas w hartl
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.
Paula
Kitchen/ Bathroom Plumbing in Lake Zurich, IL
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.
Mary Lou Waechter

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.
Thomas Rowen
Garbage Disposal in Other
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.
Sergey Seleznev
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!!!!
Carrie Bernstein

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
Plumbing Services in Lake Zurich, IL
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
Plumbing Services in Lake Zurich, IL
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!!
Tank | Tankless | Gas | Electric | Mundelein, IL
Water Heater Repair & Installation in Mundelein
No hot water, changing temperatures, a leaking tank, discolored water, popping noises, pilot or ignition trouble, and pressure relief valve discharge are different symptoms with different causes. Our Mundelein water heater service covers gas and electric tank units, tankless systems, expansion tanks, shutoffs, supply connections, valves, controls, heating components, and related venting concerns.
Repair can be practical when the tank is sound and a replaceable component or connection has failed. Replacement becomes more reasonable when the tank itself leaks, corrosion is widespread, hot-water capacity no longer meets the household or building demand, or repeated repair costs are adding up. For a new installation, equipment size, fuel type, recovery rate, venting, expansion control, clearances, drainage, and connection requirements all matter.
What We Check Before Recommending Repair or Replacement
- Whether water is coming from the tank, valve, fitting, drain, or another nearby source.
- Equipment age, corrosion, tank condition, capacity, performance, and repair history.
- Controls, heating elements or burner operation, venting, safety components, and pressure conditions.
- Installation needs for tank, tankless, gas, or electric replacement options.

Toilets | Faucets | Sinks | Disposals | Mundelein, IL
Fixture Repairs That Address the Connected Plumbing
A running toilet can waste water because of a fill valve, flapper, overflow setting, or pressure condition. A faucet may drip because of an internal cartridge, but poor flow can also involve the aerator, shutoff, supply tube, or branch piping. Maximum Plumbing repairs and replaces toilets, sinks, faucets, and related fixtures while checking the plumbing connected to the symptom.
We also service tub and shower valves, utility sinks, laundry connections, traps, fixture drains, angle stops, supply lines, toilet flanges, and garbage disposals. A disposal that hums, jams, leaks, trips the reset, or drains slowly may require disposal service, drain cleaning, connection repair, or replacement depending on what failed.
- Running, rocking, leaking, weak-flushing, or repeatedly clogged toilets.
- Dripping faucets, leaking sinks, failed shutoffs, damaged traps, and supply-line replacement.
- Jammed, leaking, noisy, or failed garbage disposal diagnosis and replacement.

Annual Testing | CCCDI | Compliance Documentation | Mundelein, IL
RPZ Backflow Testing for Mundelein Compliance
Backflow preventers keep water from reversing through a cross-connection and introducing contaminants into the potable system. Mundelein requires backflow prevention assemblies to be tested after installation and annually, as well as after reinstallation, relocation, or repair. Testing must be performed by a certified Cross Connection Control Device Inspector, and results are submitted through the Village compliance program.
Maximum Plumbing provides RPZ backflow testing and device support for commercial and industrial properties, irrigation systems, multi-unit buildings, wet fire systems, boiler connections, and other protected cross-connections. We can test the assembly, document the result, and explain repair or replacement options when a device leaks or fails.
- Annual RPZ and backflow preventer testing by a certified CCCDI.
- Testing after installation, relocation, reinstallation, or device repair.
- Compliance documentation plus guidance after a failed test or leaking assembly.

Permits | Inspections | Repair Decisions | Mundelein, IL
Plan the Work Before Opening Walls or Replacing Equipment
Does the Project Need a Mundelein Permit?
The Village Building Department issues permits and performs plumbing inspections, but requirements depend on the project scope. A simple service repair and a system alteration are not the same type of work. Before a water heater, piping, sewer connection, backflow device, or other plumbing system is installed or materially changed, the current permit, contractor, and inspection requirements should be confirmed with the Village.
Should a Water Heater or Sump Pump Be Repaired?
Repair is reasonable when the core equipment is sound and the failure is isolated to a serviceable control, switch, valve, connection, float, check valve, or related component. Replacement becomes more practical when the tank or pump body has failed, corrosion or wear is extensive, capacity is inadequate, reliability is poor, or repeated repairs are approaching replacement cost. Diagnosis should come before the recommendation.
What Should Happen After a Recurring Drain Is Cleared?
The pattern should be documented: which fixtures were affected, where the cable or jetter entered, what material was removed, and how soon the last blockage occurred. That information helps determine whether routine rodding, hydro jetting, camera inspection, repair evaluation, or simply better drain-use practices make sense. One clog does not prove a damaged sewer, while repeated backups should not be treated as unrelated events.

Mundelein Plumbing FAQs
Yes. Maximum Plumbing answers emergency calls 24 hours a day for Mundelein homes and businesses. Call for burst pipes, active leaks, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, failed sump pumps, leaking water heaters, frozen-pipe concerns, and other urgent plumbing problems that threaten the property or create a sanitation risk.
We provide residential and commercial plumbing repair, drain cleaning, main sewer line rodding, hydro jetting, water heater repair and installation, sump pump and battery backup service, leak and pipe repair, toilet and faucet service, garbage disposal replacement, RPZ backflow testing, and planned plumbing maintenance.
A single slow sink, tub, or shower often points to a local fixture or branch-drain restriction. Toilets that bubble, water appearing in a floor drain, or several fixtures backing up at the same time can indicate a main sewer line problem. Stop using water when a backup is active and arrange professional diagnosis before sewage spreads.
The better method depends on the obstruction and pipe condition. Rodding uses cable equipment and cutting heads to break through roots, paper, scale, and solid blockages. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to remove grease, sludge, and buildup from pipe walls. Access, pipe material, line condition, and whether the clog keeps returning should guide the choice.
Yes. Recurring backups may involve roots, grease, scale, aging cast iron or clay piping, an offset or damaged section, or a partial blockage that was never fully removed. We can clear the line and explain whether maintenance, hydro jetting, or additional inspection should be considered. If the concern may involve the public sewer system, Mundelein Utilities can also advise on the municipal side.
Yes. We service gas and electric tank water heaters, tankless systems, expansion tanks, shutoff valves, supply connections, pressure relief components, and related venting. We recommend repair when practical and explain replacement options when a tank leaks, corrosion is extensive, capacity no longer meets demand, or continued repair is not economical.
If low pressure, discoloration, or loss of water affects multiple nearby properties, contact Mundelein Utilities because the issue may involve the public water system. If the problem is isolated to one fixture or one property, a plumber can inspect valves, supply piping, pressure controls, fixtures, and water-using equipment. For an active leak inside the property, shut off the affected water supply if safe and call a plumber.
Yes. We repair and replace primary sump pumps, float switches, check valves, discharge piping, ejector pumps, and battery backup systems. A pump that runs constantly, short cycles, hums, trips a breaker, or cannot keep up during rain should be checked before the next storm.
Yes. The Village requires cross-connection control assemblies to be maintained and tested annually by a certified Cross Connection Control Device Inspector. Testing is also required after installation, reinstallation, relocation, or repair, and the test result must be submitted through the Village backflow compliance system within the required timeframe.
Yes. We serve restaurants, retail properties, offices, industrial spaces, multi-unit buildings, condo associations, property managers, and other commercial facilities. Services include restroom and fixture repair, commercial water heaters, drains and sewer lines, leak repair, hydro jetting, RPZ backflow testing, emergency response, and planned maintenance.
Yes. We repair and replace toilets, faucets, sinks, shutoff valves, traps, supply lines, tub and shower valves, fixture drains, and garbage disposals. We also check for connected issues such as poor pressure, a blocked branch drain, a failed valve, or deteriorated piping before recommending the repair.
Permit and inspection requirements depend on the type and scope of work. The Village of Mundelein Building Department issues permits and performs plumbing inspections. Requirements should be confirmed before replacement, alteration, or installation work begins, especially when piping, water heaters, sewer connections, or regulated devices are involved.
Close the nearest fixture valve if it is safe to do so. For a severe leak, shut off the building main, move belongings away from the water, avoid electrical hazards, and call for emergency plumbing service. If water is near an electrical panel or another immediate danger, stay clear and contact the appropriate emergency service.
