Common services in Wheeling
Older housing stock and an established tree canopy mean sewer rodding, sewer camera inspection, and overhead sewer conversion are among the most common calls. Water heater service and flood control are also frequent given the age of the area’s plumbing systems.
- Sewer rodding
Gets the line flowing again and shows you why it stopped, so the same backup does not come back next month.
- Sewer camera inspection
See the condition of the line before you spend on the repair.
- Overhead sewer conversion
Raises the sewer above the city main so it cannot back up
- Flood control systems
Keep the street out of your basement during heavy rain.
- Water heater installation
Tank and tankless, sized and vented to code.
- Hydrojetting
High pressure cleaning for grease and scale
- Lead service line replacement

Capps is headquartered in Wheeling. The shop, the fleet, and the team operate from 160 W. Hintz Road. When you call, the dispatcher and the technician are both based here.
That proximity matters on response time, on local code knowledge, and on the relationship. Capps has served Wheeling homes and businesses for thirty years and the phone number has not changed.
Much of Wheeling’s residential stock dates to the middle of the last century, which means clay tile sewer laterals are still common. Clay joints separate as trees mature, and a line that rodded clean five years ago can be full of roots again. Cook County’s combined sewer system also means heavy rain can push water back toward the house rather than away from it.
Village permitting for sewer and water service work is handled routinely as part of the job.

What Wheeling customers say
Tim, Ruben, and the rest of the team were awesome. They were genuine, friendly, and very informative. Overall great experience. (I had to have a common line sewer pipe repaired).
Yusten · Wheeling, IL · via Google Tech was friendly yet professional too. Explained everything to me what the problem was and what he did to fix it.
Cathy H. · Wheeling, IL · via Google The plumber was very professional and courteous and explained me clearly my options for the issue I faced. He also arrived the very next morning after I made the call the day before (late afternoon). Also the lady that took my first call was very courteous to arrange someone coming over for the issue. Overall, Capps is a very trusted local company for plumbing services and I have done already several services with them over the years.
George X. · Wheeling, IL · via Google Called this morning, and was out by the afternoon. Quick repair. Will recommend again.
Lynette P. · via Google Best solution for my situation, done quickly, professionally and fairly. 11/10 THANK YOU CAPPS
Matthew M. · via Google We are in limbo of needing a water softener due to waiting on a part. Even though Capps doesn’t service our brand of water heater, they still came out as a courtesy to give us their opinion without actually pushing their product. I wish all service based companies operated this way. Highly recommend this company!
