Two generations on the North Side. Burst pipes, backed-up mains, dead water heaters, and the slow drip under the kitchen sink that has been bothering you since March. We are open every hour of every day, including the holidays.
Everything below is work we do ourselves, with our own hands, on our own trucks. No subcontractors, no call-center dispatchers, no "someone will be in touch between 8 and 6."
01
Burst supply lines, overflowing toilets, water pouring through a ceiling. We keep two trucks on the road overnight for exactly this. Most nights we are at your door inside 45 minutes anywhere between the Loop and Evanston.
02
Kitchen stacks, laundry lines, floor drains, and the main. We rod and jet, then run a camera down the line so you can see what we saw. If a root intrusion is the real problem, you will know before we quote anything.
03
Repair, replacement, and tankless conversions. We carry 40- and 50-gallon units on the truck, so a same-day swap is usually possible. Annual flush and anode check for the units we install, free for the first three years.
04
Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, and in the ceilings of vintage greystones. Acoustic and thermal detection first — we open the wall only where we already know the leak is.
05
Full remodels, from tearing out the old cast iron to setting the new fixtures. We work alongside your tile and cabinet people and we show up when we say we will.
06
The small jobs other companies will not schedule. A running toilet, a faucet that will not stop dripping, a disposal that hums and does nothing. Flat pricing, quoted before we start.
07
Annual testing for restaurants, salons, and multi-unit buildings, with the paperwork filed with the City of Chicago on your behalf. We keep the test reports on file so your inspection is never a scramble.
08
Ranges, dryers, grills, and generators. Pressure-tested, permitted where the City requires it, and documented. We do not cut corners on gas — ever.
A sample of jobs from the last few months. Addresses are approximate — our customers get to stay private.
Miguel Sr. came to Chicago from Jalisco in 1991 and spent seven years working for other people's plumbing companies before he bought his first van. He started taking calls out of a basement on Huron Street in 1998, mostly for the buildings he already knew, mostly at night.
His two sons grew up riding along on Saturdays. Miguel Jr. took over the service side in 2014; Andrés runs the remodel and rough-in work. Between them they have pulled permits in every ward north of the river and can tell you which buildings on your block still have lead service lines.
We are still small on purpose. Two service trucks, one van, four plumbers, and a phone that a person actually answers. When you call, you get someone who can tell you what is probably wrong and roughly what it will cost before anybody drives anywhere.
"Called at 11 p.m. about a leak coming through the ceiling of the unit below us. Miguel Jr. was here in half an hour and had it stopped before midnight. He explained everything and did not try to sell me a repipe I did not need."

"We manage eleven buildings and Miguel & Sons handles all of our after-hours calls now. They send photos of what they found, they bill what they quoted, and they never leave a mess in the hallway."

"Our water heater died on a Sunday morning with family in town. New one installed by early afternoon. Andrés even hauled the old unit out to the alley for us."
Peter K. · Lincoln Park
"They found a slab leak two other companies missed, and they opened one small section of floor instead of tearing up the whole kitchen. Worth every dollar."
