More plumbing than a sink and two hoses

A laundry room has a floor drain, a utility sink, washing machine valves, supply lines that are often in an outside wall, and sometimes a gas line for the dryer. When the floor drain backs up or a hose valve will not close, the whole room is out of service.

Appliance delivery drivers are trained in basic hookup, not in what to do when the valves are seized or the drain is wrong. A licensed plumber is the right call for anything beyond the ordinary.

What laundry room plumbing includes

Installation, repair and clearing across the laundry room.

  • Floor drain clearing and repair
  • Washer and dryer installation by an insured, licensed plumber
  • Utility sink installation and repair, washing machine valves, tier and isolation valves
  • Frozen pipe thawing and leak repair, with pressure restoration where the flow has dropped

What the appointment looks like

  1. What the room is doing

    A backed-up floor drain, a leak, a valve that will not turn, or a new machine to install.

  2. The cost first

    The technician diagnoses, explains and quotes before any work.

  3. The work

    The drain cleared, the valve or sink replaced, the machine connected to water, drain and gas as needed.

  4. Checked

    Every connection is run under load and checked for leaks before the room goes back into use.

Three situations cover most calls

Three jobs cover most laundry calls.

Where we do this work

Drain Clearing

A laundry room with a sink, wicker hampers and a front-loading washer and dryer

Laundry room plumbing problems can be a real hassle. There’s more plumbing in a laundry room than just a sink and washing machine water lines. Our expert technicians can handle frozen pipes, washer and dryer installation, drain clearing, leaks, and sink repair and installation.

If the floor drain in your laundry room is clogged or backing up, don’t wait to call in a professional. Our team of licensed plumbers has the skills and equipment needed to diagnose the source and remove a clog.

Washer and Dryer Installation

Who better install your new washer and dryer than an insured plumber? Appliance delivery drivers aren’t usually licensed plumbers. They are trained in basic installation but don’t have the skill or knowledge to deal with anything out of the ordinary. When working with water and gas lines, it’s important to hire a licensed plumber with the right training.

Frozen Pipes

Frozen pipes are all too common during Chicago winters. If your laundry room doesn’t get enough heat or pipes are in an outside wall, your pipes are susceptible to freezing, leading to a burst, which can be catastrophic. Thankfully, you can turn to us to thaw frozen water lines anytime – day or night.

Leaks

Our plumbing services are comprehensive, and we routinely repair leaking pipes and faucets. No matter if it’s a crack or a loose part, our plumbers will work to have the problem fixed efficiently.

Sinks

Laundry sinks are common in most laundry rooms and will require repair from time to time. Whether it’s a leaking sink, low water pressure, or a clog, our skilled technicians will thoroughly investigate and fix the issue.

Laundry Room Plumbing questions

What laundry room plumbing services do you provide?

We repair and install washing machine lines, laundry sinks, floor drains, and related piping. Our team also handles leaks, frozen pipes, and appliance connections to keep your system working properly.

Why is my washing machine's drain backing up or overflowing?

This is usually caused by a clogged drain line or a blockage deeper in your system. If not cleared quickly, it can lead to water damage and flooding in your laundry area.

What causes leaks in a laundry room?

Leaks often come from worn hoses, loose connections, or damaged pipes behind your washer. These issues can go unnoticed and cause serious damage if not addressed early.

Can you install or replace laundry room plumbing fixtures?

Yes, we install and replace washing machine hookups, utility sinks, and drain lines. Proper installation ensures safe water flow and reduces the risk of leaks or backups.

When should I call a plumber for a laundry room issue?

Contact us if you notice standing water, slow drainage, unusual noises, or visible leaks. Laundry rooms have multiple water connections, so problems can escalate quickly if ignored.
