Joliet Biggest Plumbing Problems

Frozen and Burst Pipes in Illinois Winters

Joliet experiences brutal Illinois winters with polar vortex events pushing temperatures to -10F or colder. Supply lines in uninsulated garage walls, rim joists, and exterior walls throughout the city are at risk when temperatures drop below 20F for extended periods.

Aging Galvanized and Cast Iron in Older Neighborhoods

Joliet older neighborhoods near the historic downtown and Steel Street corridor have homes from the early 1900s through 1950s with galvanized supply lines and cast iron drain systems now 70 to 120 years old. Low pressure and rust-colored water are the consistent signs in these neighborhoods.

Combined Sewer Backup During Heavy Rain

Joliet combined sewer system means heavy rain events push sewage back through basement floor drains and cleanouts in older neighborhoods throughout the city. Basement flooding from sewer backup is a common emergency during summer thunderstorm season.

PEX Fitting Failures in Newer Subdivisions

Joliet growth areas built in the 1990s and 2000s used PEX supply lines with brass crimp fittings now 20 to 30 years old. Hard water accelerates corrosion on these fittings and joint failures behind walls are an increasing call across newer Joliet neighborhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions - Joliet Plumbing

When do pipes burst in Joliet?

Supply lines in uninsulated garage walls, rim joists, and exterior walls are most at risk when temperatures drop below 20F and stay there. Polar vortex events pushing Joliet to -10 or below generate the highest volume of burst pipe emergencies each winter.

Does Joliet have combined sewer issues?

Yes. Joliet runs a combined sewer system in many neighborhoods. Heavy rain events cause sewage to back up through basement floor drains. A backwater valve can protect your basement from future events.
