What happens when you call our 24/7 emergency plumber
A real person picks up the emergency line at any hour. We ask four things: where you are, what is leaking or backing up, whether water is still moving, and whether anyone has been near wet electrical gear. Those answers decide which technician goes and what rides on the truck.
You do not have to wait in silence while the truck is on its way. These steps cut the damage in most Romeoville homes before anyone arrives.
- Find the main shutoff, usually near the water meter in the basement or utility room, and turn it clockwise until it stops.
- Stop using sinks, tubs, toilets and the washing machine if a drain is backing up.
- Keep people and pets out of any room where water is near outlets, panels or appliances.
- Move rugs, boxes and furniture off the wet floor, and take photos for your insurance claim.
- If you smell gas, leave the building and call 911 or the gas utility first. Call us after you are outside.
Tenants and landlords can use the same line. If you manage a rental house or a small shop on the Weber Road corridor, tell dispatch who holds the keys and who approves repairs.
Our sewer line cleaning crews and burst pipe repair crews both take after-hours calls.

Plumbing problems that count as emergencies
Some problems can sit until Monday. Others cost more every hour. Use this list to decide whether to call the emergency plumber tonight.
Call the emergency line now if you see
- Water running from a pipe, ceiling or wall that you cannot stop at a fixture valve.
- Sewage or gray water rising from a basement floor drain, tub or toilet.
- A water heater leaking from the tank body or the pressure relief valve.
- No hot water in a home with children, older adults or someone ill.
- A water meter that keeps spinning with every fixture turned off.
- A sump pump that has stopped while the pit is filling.
A slow drip under a sink or a running toilet is rarely an emergency. Shut the little valve under the fixture and book a same-day appointment when available. The page for faucet and sink repair explains which fixes are quick and which are not.
Gas is the exception to every rule on this page. A gas smell means you leave first and phone second. We do not troubleshoot gas leaks over the phone.
Plumbing in Romeoville: Weber Road, the river and Hampton Park
Our office sits at 402 N Weber Rd, on the village's main commercial corridor. That is why we can reach neighborhoods on both sides of I-55 without crossing town. It also means the dispatcher knows which streets back up with traffic at rush hour.
Hampton Park was developed in 1957. Homes from that era often still carry galvanized supply pipe and cast iron drains, which narrow with age. If your water looks rusty at first draw or one drain keeps slowing, a camera look at the line is worth more than another snaking.
The Des Plaines River runs along the east side of the village, and the old Illinois and Michigan Canal passes nearby. Low ground near water is the reason to test your sump pump each spring and keep the pit clear. A pump that has not run since last year is the one that fails during the first heavy storm.
Lewis University, the Joliet Junior College campus and Rasmussen College all sit in Romeoville, so many nearby houses are rentals. Landlords: a tenant who reports a slow drain at 11 pm is usually right. Call the line instead of waiting for morning.
Romeoville belongs to the Grand Prairie Water Commission, which plans to bring Lake Michigan water to member communities. Water can change over the years. Before you buy a softener, ask your water utility for its latest annual water quality report. Our water softener and filtration page explains what to look for.
Whether you live in Hampton Park, Grand Haven or an apartment off Route 53, the call is the same. One number, one dispatcher, a clear price before work starts.

How we price emergency and scheduled plumbing
We do not quote by phone and then change the number on site. A technician looks at the problem, explains the repair options, and gives you a clear price before work starts. If you want to think it over, you can.
What moves the price: how hard the part is to reach, whether the repair is a patch or a replacement, and whether the call comes in after hours. Nights and weekends can carry a different rate, and we say so before the truck leaves. For a hidden leak, leak detection comes first so you pay to fix the right spot.
Emergency plumber questions in Romeoville
Yes. The emergency line is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including holidays. Call, describe the problem, and dispatch books the next available technician.

Shut off the main water valve if water is escaping. Stop using drains if one is backing up. Keep people away from wet electrical areas and photograph the damage. For a gas smell, leave the building and call 911 or the gas utility first.
