Two Water Leaks Found in Dearborn Park Chicago Home
Our staff received an emergency call to a home in Dearborn Park, Chicago, Il to provide service to two leaks. The leaks were caused by separate issues, while one leak needed to be located, the other leak was caused by leaking shut-off valves. It’s best for a plumbing professional to check for leaks since there can be multiple causes.
Emergency Call for Leaks Found in Dearborn Park Home
Our plumber made their way past the green space down Michigan Ave and arrived at the property in less than an hour. Upon arrival, our plumber found two leaks, one coming from the first floor going down to the basement and another on the basement near shut-off valves.
Plumbing System Diagnosis
The plumber opened the wall and ran an in-depth diagnostic to locate the leak. Our expert found two copper ¾ inch water lines leading up to the unit above that were heavily corroded and leaking. The second leak was located in the basement coming from old shut-off valves.
