Commercial plumbing, residential plumbing, and emergency plumbing are only a few of the plumbing related tasks that a handyman can handle. This saves the time and expense of calling a union plumber which can see rates of $200/hr just to show up on site.  Most plumbing issues we can handle are resolved within 30 minutes, so you may want to have a few more tasks in mind. Leaky faucets and under sink plumbing are both fine for a handyman to repair.

Leaky Faucets

A leaky faucet is typically caused by a valve wearing down over time. The mechanism inside a faucet is often made of metal and rubber. With continued use, the valve will no longer stop the flow of water causing a continuous drip and a spike in your water bill. A dripping faucet can cause water waste of over 300 gallons a year according to the United States Geological Survey. Chicago Handyman can repair a leaky faucet by replacing a faulty valve in no time, bringing your water bill back in line and alleviating your plumbing problems.

Clogged Drains

No matter what the obstruction is, when you have a clogged drain it can be… well… draining. Since the drain takes away waste water, it can be one of the most unsettling things to have a pool of tepid filth. Many clogged drains can be cleared with a plunger. When that’s not doing the trick, its time to bring in the drain snake. The long gross metal spring that fishes its way through your drain pipe attacking the clog with a spinning vortex of metal and vigor. This will clear the blockage and cause your pipes to flow freely again.

When you have a major leak in your home, a pipe bursts, or you have plumbing that is behind a wall, you will need to bring in a licensed union plumber. However all bathroom fixtures including sinks and vanities, toilets, tubs and showers can all be handled by a knowledgeable handyman.
