Sump Pump Services

A sump pump that doesn’t work correctly puts your basement and valuables at risk for water damage. Many homes have sump pumps with battery backups to keep water moving away from your house during heavy storms.

In Elmhurst, heavy rain often leads to pooling water around homes, especially on properties with poorly draining soil. Flooding risk rises as local creeks and storm drains reach capacity. We recommend annual sump pump inspections, especially before spring thaw or forecasted storms, to ensure your system can handle the kind of severe weather common in DuPage County.

At Drip Drop Plumbing, we handle sump pump maintenance and performance checks. We recommend regular testing because many homeowners don’t think about the sump pump until it’s too late. We want your equipment ready to protect your home when it matters most.

Water Heater Repair

Our plumbers offer a full range of water heater services, including installation, repairs, replacements, and ongoing maintenance. When your water heater acts up, get it checked quickly to reduce repair costs and avoid further damage.

Both homeowners and businesses in Elmhurst rely on steady hot water all year. The city’s water has a higher mineral content, which often leads to more sediment and scale buildup in hot water tanks. With consistent maintenance and prompt repairs, your water heater lasts longer and works more efficiently—especially during the colder months, when reliable hot water is not optional. Our team keeps up with Elmhurst’s safety codes, making sure your water heater always meets inspection standards.

Signs that you need water heater repair include the following:

No hot water
Low water pressure
Hot water running out fast
Rising energy costs
Water heater leaks
Frequent water heater issues
A water heater that is over ten years old
Rusty-colored or cloudy water
Thermostat issues
Unpleasant smells coming from your water heater

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, contact our water heater repair team in Elmhurst to schedule an inspection. Let us help you restore reliable hot water as quickly as possible.

Lead a Healthier Life With Whole-House Water Filtration

Tap water, even when sourced from strong municipal systems, can contain chlorine, minerals, metals, or traces of pharmaceuticals and pesticides that you don’t want in your drinking water. Instead of relying on bottled water that creates extra waste, call Drip Drop Plumbing to discuss options for whole-home water filtration.

Elmhurst’s city water sometimes picks up minerals, iron, or contaminants as it moves through older pipes and mains. Many homeowners choose filtration to improve taste, preserve plumbing fixtures, and cut down on hard water buildup. Whole-house water filtration provides clean, safe water at every faucet and helps protect your plumbing from long-term damage and corrosion.

We install the following types of filtration systems:

Reverse osmosis filters
Whole house filters
Drinking water filters

Filtration systems provide reliable, clean water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Many families see it as an investment toward healthier living and better protection for their appliances. Call today to learn more!

FAQs

Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Elmhurst?

For most major plumbing repairs and installations in Elmhurst, the city requires a permit to ensure all updates meet safety and building codes. This includes projects like water heater replacement and sewer line repairs. Always check with the city or your plumber before beginning work.

How quickly can emergency plumbing service arrive?

Response times depend on current demand and your location in Elmhurst. Our team provides 24/7 emergency plumbing service with fast dispatch to address serious plumbing issues at any time, day or night.

Why does Elmhurst experience frequent sewer line blockages?

Elmhurst homes often have older clay or cast iron sewer pipes, which are vulnerable to root intrusion, cracks, and buildup. The area’s clay-based soil and mature trees contribute to recurring sewer and drain concerns. Regular inspections and maintenance help prevent unexpected blockages.
