Answers to the most frequently asked plumbing questions from Highwood homeowners.
Trenchless sewer repair in Highwood replaces damaged sewer lines using pipe lining or pipe bursting methods — without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It works for most sewer line problems including cracks, root intrusion, and offset joints. Magnet Plumbing uses camera inspection to confirm trenchless repair is the right approach for your specific line condition.
To prevent frozen pipes in Highwood, insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages, crawl spaces, and attics. Keep cabinet doors under sinks open during cold snaps. Let faucets drip slightly during freezing temperatures. If a pipe does freeze, call Magnet Plumbing immediately rather than attempting to thaw it yourself to avoid a burst.
Your main water shutoff valve in Highwood is typically located near the water meter, near the front foundation, or in the basement or utility room. Turn the valve clockwise to close it. If you cannot find your shutoff or it is stuck, call Magnet Plumbing immediately — our emergency crew can help locate and operate the valve to stop water damage.
When hiring a plumber in Highwood, always verify their IL license and insurance. A licensed plumber must pass state examinations and carry liability coverage that protects your property. Magnet Plumbing employs licensed, background-checked plumbers throughout Illinois — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in Highwood homes, especially PVC, brass, or aging galvanized plumbing. The caustic chemicals can eat through pipe walls over time and are hazardous if they splash on skin or eyes. A professional drain cleaning by Magnet Plumbing is safer, more effective, and prevents pipe damage — costing less in the long run.
In Highwood, homeowners insurance typically covers sudden and accidental plumbing damage such as a burst pipe flooding your home. The cost of repairing the pipe itself may not be covered, but the resulting water damage often is. Gradual leaks and corrosion from neglected maintenance are usually excluded. Call (844) 618-0753 if you need documentation for a claim.

"My hot water was not working so they replaced and adjusted the regulator valve, then repaired the shower diverter and replaced the hot and cold valves. Now I can easily have hot water and it feels like a new shower again. They even picked up the parts I had ordered in Hollywood at Ferguson Plumbing Supply."
"Main water line burst and we had a river in the front yard. They isolated the break, got the water back on within a few hours, and replaced the section cleanly the next day. Excellent emergency response."
"Late-night leak under the kitchen sink, had someone out within 90 minutes. Stopped the leak, replaced the shutoff valve, and I could finally go back to sleep."
