RITEPLUMBING repairs and replaces damaged, corroded, and leaking pipes for homes and businesses throughout Orland Park and Cook County. From pinhole leaks to full repiping, we provide lasting solutions with upfront pricing.
Common signs of pipe problems include: discolored or rusty water, recurring leaks in the same area, low water pressure throughout the house, visible corrosion or green staining on exposed pipes, water stains on walls or ceilings, and unusually high water bills. Homes built before 1970 with galvanized steel pipes are especially prone to corrosion and may need repiping.
Many homes in Orland Park, Tinley Park, and the surrounding Cook County suburbs were built between the 1950s and 1980s with galvanized steel water supply pipes. These pipes corrode from the inside out over time, restricting water flow and eventually developing pinhole leaks. If you notice rusty water when you first turn on the faucet or decreasing water pressure over the years, your galvanized pipes may be reaching the end of their lifespan.
Illinois winters bring another common pipe problem: frozen pipes. Pipes running through unheated crawl spaces, exterior walls, and garages are especially vulnerable when temperatures drop below 20°F. RITEPLUMBING carries pipe thawing equipment on our trucks from November through March and can respond quickly to prevent burst pipes and water damage.
For full repiping projects, we typically recommend PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) piping for its flexibility, freeze resistance, and long lifespan. PEX is also faster to install than copper, which means less disruption and lower labor costs for your home.
Pipe repair costs depend on the location, material, and extent of damage. A simple exposed pipe repair is the most affordable, while in-wall or under-slab repairs require more labor. Full repiping of a home varies based on size and pipe material chosen. RITEPLUMBING provides free estimates with transparent pricing before any work begins.
If your home has original galvanized steel pipes and you are experiencing recurring leaks, low water pressure, or rusty water, replacement is usually the better long-term investment. Galvanized pipes typically last 40-50 years and corrode from the inside out. RITEPLUMBING can repipe your home with modern copper or PEX piping that will last decades longer and improve water quality and pressure.
A typical whole-house repipe for a 3-bedroom Orland Park home takes 2-3 days. During the process, we replace all supply pipes while keeping disruption to a minimum — cutting only small, strategic openings in drywall that are easy to patch afterward. We maintain water access throughout most of the project so you can remain in your home during the work.
We provide pipe repair services throughout the south suburbs of Chicago.
