LAKE ZURICH, IL – April 13, 2026 – Urban Plumbing Inc., a licensed and insured residential plumbing company based in Lake Zurich, Illinois, has announced the expansion of its full-service plumbing operations to homeowners across Lake County and the surrounding northwest suburbs. The company now provides dedicated service coverage to Mundelein, Palatine, Long Grove, Barrington, and several additional communities throughout the region.
The expansion comes in response to increasing demand from homeowners in these communities who have struggled to find reliable, licensed plumbers willing to provide same-day and emergency service outside of the traditional Monday-through-Friday window. Urban Plumbing Inc. operates on a 24/7 schedule and dispatches licensed technicians to residential calls throughout Lake County at any hour.
“Homeowners in places like Mundelein and Long Grove have been calling us for months because they can’t find a plumber in their area who shows up when they say they will,” said the ownership team at Urban Plumbing Inc. “We decided it was time to make the commitment official and staff accordingly so every community in our service radius gets the same level of attention we give Lake Zurich.”
Comprehensive Residential Plumbing Services
Urban Plumbing Inc. offers a full range of residential plumbing services designed to address both emergency situations and long-term maintenance needs. The company specializes in drain cleaning and sewer line repair for homes experiencing slow drains, recurring clogs, sewage backups, and root intrusion in main sewer laterals. These issues are particularly common in Lake County communities where older clay and cast iron pipes remain in service beneath homes built in the 1950s through 1980s.
The company also provides hydro jetting services for homeowners dealing with chronic buildup that standard drain snaking cannot fully remove. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour pipe walls clean, restoring the full interior diameter of the pipe and eliminating the grease, mineral scale, and organic film that cause recurring blockages. For homes with severe or repeated sewer line issues, main sewer rodding with camera inspection allows technicians to identify the exact location and nature of the problem before recommending any repair work.
Water heater installation and repair is another core service area. Urban Plumbing Inc. works with both traditional tank systems and modern tankless units from manufacturers including Bradford White, Navien, Rheem, and A.O. Smith. Lake County’s hard water conditions accelerate sediment buildup inside water heater tanks, reducing efficiency and shortening equipment lifespan. The company recommends annual flushing and inspection to maintain peak performance and avoid premature failure.
Additional services include sump pump and ejector pump installation, backflow preventer testing and certification, and full fixture repair and replacement for toilets, sinks, showers, and bathtubs. The company’s sump and ejector pump installation services have become increasingly important for homeowners in flood-prone areas of Lake County, where spring storms and snowmelt routinely overwhelm basement drainage systems.
Serving Communities With Unique Plumbing Challenges
Each community within Urban Plumbing Inc.’s expanded service area presents distinct plumbing conditions shaped by local housing stock, soil composition, tree canopy, and infrastructure age.
Long Grove’s large wooded lots and extended lateral runs from house to street create longer pipe distances where debris accumulates faster than in typical subdivisions. Palatine’s mix of mid-century and modern construction means plumbers encounter everything from deteriorating galvanized steel to modern PVC systems within a few blocks of each other. Barrington’s larger custom homes often feature complex multi-zone plumbing systems that require experienced technicians to diagnose and service properly. And Mundelein’s growing residential corridors along Route 45 include both new construction and older neighborhoods near Diamond Lake where clay sewer lines are reaching the end of their functional lifespan.
Urban Plumbing Inc. has invested in equipping its service vehicles with the tools, parts, and diagnostic technology needed to handle these varied conditions on the first visit. Every truck carries camera inspection equipment, mechanical rodding machines, and the most commonly needed repair parts for water heaters, sump pumps, and fixture components.
Commitment to Transparency and Licensing
Urban Plumbing Inc. holds Illinois Plumbing Contractor License number 055-044629 and maintains full liability insurance coverage. The company is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and maintains a verified Google Business Profile with consistent five-star reviews from residential customers across Lake County.
The company provides upfront pricing on all services, with no hidden fees or surprise charges after the work is completed. Homeowners receive a written estimate before any work begins, and emergency calls receive the same transparent pricing as scheduled appointments.
