Our Reviews
When your faucet barely drips or stops completely, you’re looking at frozen pipes. In Olympia Fields, where winter temperatures regularly drop into the teens, this isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a race against time.
We thaw frozen pipes safely and quickly, getting your water flowing before those pipes burst. No dangerous torches or risky DIY methods that could burn down your house. Just professional equipment and techniques that work.
Once we’re done, you’ll have full water pressure restored, potential damage prevented, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your plumbing system is protected against Chicago’s brutal winter conditions.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts has been handling Chicago-area frozen pipe emergencies since 2000. We’re BBB accredited, fully licensed, bonded, and insured because when your pipes freeze at 2 AM, you need to know the company you’re calling is legitimate.
We understand Olympia Fields’ unique challenges—from older homes with exposed pipes to newer constructions with plumbing in exterior walls. Our technicians have seen every type of frozen pipe scenario this area throws at us.
You won’t get surprised with hidden fees or inflated emergency rates. We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, and our 24/7 availability means the same fair pricing whether you call us Tuesday afternoon or Sunday at midnight.
First, we locate the frozen section by checking the most vulnerable spots—pipes along exterior walls, in unheated basements, or crawl spaces. We know where Chicago-area homes typically freeze up.
Next, we use professional thawing equipment like heat guns, heating pads, or warm towels. Never open flames or blowtorches that could melt plastic pipes or start fires. We keep the affected faucet open so water can flow as the ice melts.
If a pipe has already burst, we shut off your main water supply immediately to prevent flooding. Then we assess the damage, make necessary repairs, and help you understand what your insurance will and won’t cover. You’ll know exactly what happened and what needs to happen next.

Our service includes emergency pipe thawing, burst pipe repair, water damage assessment, and preventive recommendations. We don’t just fix the immediate problem—we help you avoid it happening again.
Olympia Fields homes face specific risks during Chicago’s harsh winters. With an average of 105 days below freezing each year and temperatures that can hit single digits or below zero, your pipes are under constant threat from November through March.
We provide pipe insulation recommendations, identify vulnerable areas in your specific home layout, and explain how to maintain proper temperatures in basements and crawl spaces. Many Olympia Fields residents don’t realize that keeping your thermostat at 55°F minimum—even when you’re away—can prevent thousands in water damage costs.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Olympia Fields and the Chicago metro area, typically arriving within 1-2 hours of your call. Frozen pipes are time-sensitive—the longer they stay frozen, the higher the risk of bursting.
Our emergency response doesn’t come with inflated pricing or weekend surcharges. You get the same fair, upfront pricing whether you call us on a Tuesday afternoon or during a Sunday night polar vortex. We understand that plumbing emergencies don’t follow business hours, and neither do we.
Frozen pipes occur when water inside your plumbing turns to ice, blocking water flow. You’ll notice little to no water coming from your faucets. Burst pipes happen when that ice expands with over 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch, cracking or splitting the pipe.
If you catch frozen pipes early, we can thaw them without damage. But once they burst, you’re looking at water damage, potential flooding, and costly repairs. The average burst pipe repair ranges from $500 to $3,000, not including water damage restoration. That’s why quick response matters—we can often prevent a frozen pipe from becoming a burst pipe disaster.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover water damage from burst pipes if the damage is sudden and accidental. However, they typically won’t cover the cost of repairing or replacing the actual pipe itself—that’s considered maintenance.
Insurance may deny claims if they determine you were negligent, such as turning off heat when leaving town and allowing pipes to freeze. The average insurance payout for water damage is around $13,954, but you’ll still be responsible for your deductible and the pipe repair costs. We can help document the situation properly for your insurance claim.
Keep your thermostat at minimum 55°F even when you’re away—this is crucial for Olympia Fields homes during our harsh winters. Open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air circulate around pipes, especially those on exterior walls.
Let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold snaps when temperatures drop below 20°F for several hours. Moving water is much harder to freeze than still water. Insulate exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, and attics with foam pipe sleeves. These simple steps can prevent thousands in damage and emergency service calls.
Don’t panic, but act quickly. Turn on the affected faucet and leave it open—as we thaw the pipe, water needs somewhere to flow. If you can safely access the frozen section, you can try gentle warming with a hair dryer, but never use open flames, torches, or space heaters.
Call us immediately at the first sign of frozen pipes. The sooner we can start professional thawing, the better chance we have of preventing a burst. If you discover a pipe has already burst and water is flowing, shut off your main water supply immediately and call us for emergency service.
Yes, we provide same-day emergency service for all frozen pipe situations in Olympia Fields. Most frozen pipe calls are resolved within a few hours of our arrival, depending on the location and severity of the freeze.
Our technicians carry professional thawing equipment and common pipe repair materials on every truck, so we can often complete repairs during the same visit. We understand that every hour your pipes stay frozen increases the risk of bursting, so we prioritize these calls and work efficiently to restore your water service as quickly as possible.
