Yes, we have insurance. We can provide you with our general certificate of insurance we have used for the state of Illinois or the city of Chicago.

Many condo associations and high-rise buildings, and the occasional commercial properties require specific insurance documents for professional plumbing companies to work in their buildings (especially for renovation projects). After we provide you with an estimate and you agree, we can move forward with getting you a specific certificate of insurance.

Many buildings and condo associations have a form that states what specific verbiage they require on their certificate of insurance for us to work on their plumbing system. We need you to email us that form with those requirements so we can forward it to our insurance agent.

Usually, this is sent back to us on the same day as long as it is done during regular business hours. Then we email it out to you.

An emergency plumbing service is considered any plumbing service performed before 9am and any plumbing service performed after 5pm, Monday – Saturday. Also any plumbing service performed Sunday is considered an emergency plumbing service.

There are also cases emergency plumbing is performed during regular business hours. Rescue Plumbing performs regularly scheduled preventative plumbing maintenance every day for our customers. Sometimes we are able to postpone and reschedule regular preventative maintenance to prioritize an emergency plumbing service call.

The first thing you must do in a plumbing emergency is shut off the water. If it is a plumbing gas leak you must shut off the gas.

After the water or gas is shut off you can fix the plumbing emergency. If you do not know how to fix the plumbing emergency give Rescue Plumbing a call at (773) 799-8848 and we will send out a plumber we have on call.
