Our Reviews
You wake up to no water pressure, and panic sets in. In Edison Park’s brutal winters, frozen pipes aren’t just an inconvenience—they’re a ticking time bomb that can burst and flood your home in hours.
When we thaw your frozen pipes properly, you get your normal routine back. Hot showers return. Kitchen faucets work. Your family’s daily life continues without the stress of wondering when the next freeze will hit.
The relief you feel when water flows again is immediate. But the real value comes from preventing the thousands in water damage that burst pipes cause every winter in Chicago.
We at All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. have been solving Edison Park’s toughest plumbing challenges for years. We’re not some distant company trying to understand your situation over the phone.
We know Edison Park’s older homes and how Chicago’s lake-effect cold hits your neighborhood differently than other areas. Our trucks are stocked for Edison Park’s specific pipe layouts and the unique freezing patterns we see in this part of the city.
When you call us, you’re getting plumbers who’ve thawed hundreds of frozen pipes in homes just like yours. Licensed, bonded, and insured—because this work is too important for anything less than total professionalism.
First, we shut off your main water supply to prevent flooding if there’s already damage you can’t see. This one step alone saves most homeowners thousands in water damage.
Next, we locate the frozen section using professional-grade equipment—not guesswork. We apply controlled heat using specialized thawing tools that warm the pipe gradually and safely. No torches, no risky shortcuts that could damage your pipes or start a fire.
We test the entire system before turning your water back on, checking for cracks or weak spots that could fail later. Then we walk you through prevention steps specific to your home’s layout so you’re prepared for the next cold snap.

Our frozen pipe service includes immediate thawing, damage assessment, and repair of any burst sections we find. We don’t just get your water running—we make sure your system is solid for the rest of winter.
Edison Park homes built in the 1920s and 1930s have specific vulnerabilities we see repeatedly. Pipes along north-facing exterior walls freeze first. Basement lines near foundation cracks are next. We know exactly where to look and how to protect these problem areas.
You also get our prevention consultation, where we identify the spots in your home most likely to freeze again. We’ll show you which faucets to drip during cold snaps and which cabinet doors to leave open to keep warm air circulating around vulnerable pipes.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Edison Park, typically arriving within 60 minutes of your call. Our trucks are pre-positioned around Chicago during extreme cold weather specifically because frozen pipes can’t wait.
When temperatures drop below 20°F—which happens regularly in Edison Park winters—we know call volume will spike. That’s why we staff extra crews and keep our equipment staged locally rather than making you wait while we drive across the city.
Time matters with frozen pipes because the longer they stay frozen, the higher the chance they’ll burst. We’ve seen pipes go from frozen to flooded in just a few hours, so our fast response isn’t just convenient—it’s essential for protecting your home.
DIY thawing with hair dryers or space heaters might work on minor freezes, but it’s risky and often incomplete. Most homeowners can’t safely access the frozen sections or don’t have equipment to thaw pipes inside walls.
Professional thawing uses specialized equipment that heats pipes evenly and safely, preventing the thermal shock that can crack pipes. We also know how to identify partial blockages that look thawed but will refreeze quickly.
The biggest difference is damage prevention. We check the entire system for stress cracks and weak spots that could fail later. DIY fixes often miss this crucial step, leading to burst pipes days or weeks after the initial freeze.
Basic pipe thawing typically runs $200-400, depending on accessibility and how many sections are frozen. If pipes have burst, repair costs range from $300-800 per section, plus any water damage restoration needed.
We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No hidden fees for after-hours calls or emergency response—the price we quote is what you pay, whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM.
The real cost comparison is against doing nothing. Water damage from burst pipes averages $15,000 in repair costs, plus the disruption of having contractors in your home for weeks. Professional thawing is always the smart financial choice.
We can significantly reduce your freeze risk through targeted insulation, pipe rerouting, and strategic heat tape installation. Every Edison Park home has specific vulnerable spots based on its age, layout, and exposure.
During our service call, we identify your home’s freeze patterns and recommend specific improvements. This might mean insulating pipes in your crawl space, sealing air leaks near plumbing, or installing freeze alarms in problem areas.
We also teach you the prevention habits that work best for your specific situation—which faucets to drip, how to adjust your thermostat during cold snaps, and early warning signs to watch for. Most of our customers who follow these recommendations avoid repeat freezing issues.
First, turn off your main water supply immediately—this prevents flooding if pipes are already cracked but still blocked by ice. The main shutoff is usually near where the water line enters your home, often in the basement.
Keep your heat on and open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air reach pipes. Don’t use open flames, torches, or high-heat devices to try thawing pipes yourself—this creates fire and explosion risks.
If you see any signs of water damage or hear water running when all faucets are off, call us immediately and consider calling your insurance company. Document any visible damage with photos, but don’t try to stop leaks yourself if water is near electrical outlets or appliances.
