Emergency Burst Pipe Repair — Fast, Local & Reliable
That Sinking Feeling When You Spot the Water
You know the moment. You hear dripping where there shouldn’t be dripping. You see water pooling on your basement floor. Or worse—you walk into a room and there’s an actual spray of water coming from somewhere it definitely shouldn’t be.
If you’re in Lakeview or Wrigleyville, you already know how unpredictable the plumbing can be. These neighborhoods have character—beautiful old brownstones, vintage condos, classic three-flats—but character often comes with quirks. And sometimes those quirks include pipes that have seen better decades.
Whether you’re dealing with a frozen pipe that finally gave way during one of Chicago’s brutal cold snaps, a mysterious leak behind your kitchen wall, or a full-on burst that’s turning your basement into a wading pool, here’s what matters right now: you need someone who can get there fast and fix it right.
That’s us. Grayson Sewer & Drain Services. We’re local, we’re quick, and we know these neighborhoods like the back of our hands.
Don’t wait for the water to spread.
Why Lakeview & Wrigleyville Call Grayson First
When there’s water where it shouldn’t be, you need more than just a phone number—you need people who actually show up, know what they’re doing, and treat your home like it matters. Here’s why people in Lakeview and Wrigleyville keep our number saved:
We're Already Close By
Our trucks are usually somewhere on the North Side. We know the shortcuts around Addison and Belmont, and we're not going to waste your time—or let water waste your home—while we're stuck in traffic coming from the suburbs.
We Know These Buildings
From copper pipes in a 1920s Lakeview greystone to the maze of plumbing in a converted Wrigleyville apartment building, we've worked on them all. Different eras, different materials, different problems—we've seen it and fixed it.
Actually 24/7 (Not Just "Sort Of")
Pipes burst at 3 AM. They burst on weekends. They burst on holidays. We're always available. Always. No answering service runaround, no "we'll get back to you in the morning." If you call, we answer.
Straight Talk, No Games
We'll assess what happened, tell you what needs to be done, and give you a real price before we start. When your bathroom is flooding, the last thing you need is vague estimates or surprise charges.
What We Actually Do When Your Pipe Bursts
A burst pipe isn’t just one problem—it sets off a chain reaction. Here’s how we handle it from start to finish:
1. Stop the Water
First things first: we find your main shut-off valve and stop the flow. Damage control starts immediately.
2. Handle Frozen Pipes
Chicago winters are no joke. We safely thaw frozen sections, repair any damage from ice expansion, and help you prevent it next time.
3. Find Hidden Leaks
Not every leak announces itself. We use specialized equipment to track down water that's hiding inside walls, under floors, or in other hard-to-reach spots.
4. Repair or Replace
Depending on what's needed—a quick fix, a section replacement, or something more extensive—we use quality materials that meet code and will actually last.
5. Deal with Water Main Issues
If it's your main water supply line, we handle the excavation and repair. Yes, it's a bigger job, but we've done it many times in this area.
6. Survey the Damage
After everything's repaired, we'll walk you through what happened and what you might need to watch for in terms of water damage or restoration.
While We're On the Way — Do This Immediately

Shut Off Your Main Water Valve
In most Lakeview/Wrigleyville homes, it's in the basement near the meter.

Cut Power Near Water
Safety first — flip the breaker for the affected area.

Try Containing Water
Towels, buckets, mops — anything to slow the spread.
What Your Neighbors Are Saying
Posted on Graham Alvey It had been several years since our sewer line had been rodded / jetted. With a quick camera inspection, Jeremy discovered multiple cracks in the 100+ year old pipes through a section of the line. He did not pressure me to replace anything, only stating it would eventually become a problem and that he could continue the jetting as requested or could replace the damaged section. I opted for replacement, and Jeremy and his crew were able to pull the permits and dig out and replace ~10ft of badly damaged line. They did it efficiently, kept our sewer line flowing, and kept me informed all along the process.Posted on John Lattyak Called Grayson Sewer and Drain Services on Saturday because shower in basement was backing up. Jeremy said he could come out early afternoon after he took care of 3 customers before me. He came on time and did a video inspection of my main sewer drain that showed root growth. They hydro jetted the main sewer and cleaned out the root growth. They also rodded the drain from shower to the connection at the main and got my sewer drains working again. Pricing was reasonable for the amount of work they had to do. Would use them again.Posted on Jasmine Williams Mr Grayson and his team did an awesome job, very quick and efficient. As well as affordable. Truly appreciated them solving the problem for me as swift as they did. ♥️Posted on Linda Wiley They were very professional and arrived on time. I'll be using them again for keeping my catch basin clean.Posted on Kim Kim This company went above and beyond to do a thorough sewer and drain scope inspection for a property I'm considering buying. When they came, the corroded cap made it impossible to remove. Since they needed to wait for the seller's approval to cut the cap, they had to make a second trip. And they didn't even charge me for this! They even replaced the cap for the seller free of charge. This company stands behind integrity and a genuine desire to help people. Thank you!!Posted on Zoli Laczko Jeremy and the team was extremely responsive and fast in repairing a gas leak. Great communication. Honest Work. Highly recommend their services.Posted on DeAnne Meisner Easy to contact. Fast, efficient and professional!Posted on Donna Rae A great plumbing company. Great customer service and quality craftsmanship. We will call Grayson for all our sewer and plumbing needs in the future. Their prices are great and their work is even better. We highly recommend Grayson sewer and drain services to everyone we know.
