Frequently Asked QuestionsQuick Vanguard Questions

Vanguard is the highest rated service plumber in Chicago.
1
Is Vanguard Plumbing open 7 days a week?

The team at Vanguard Plumbing & Sewer is available to assist residential property owners – including multiunit property owners – with plumbing projects and to help homeowners throughout our extended service area solve plumbing problems 6 days a week. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. We’re also open on Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. We’re closed on Sundays.

2
Is Vanguard a licensed plumbing company?

Yes, we most certainly do. We believe strongly in being the right kind of business and that includes every plumber being licensed to provide residential plumbing services in the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois. You can ask for our licensing information at any time should you wish to see it for yourself, as well as finding it in the footer of our website and in multiple other places online – both on our own website and listings and the City of Chicago’s own online licensing data.

3
Does Vanguard have insurance coverage?

Again, the answer to this question is a resounding yes. Vanguard Plumbing & Sewer abides by the laws and regulations governing contractors within the City of Chicago, as well as those governing small businesses and plumbing companies specifically. We carry complete insurance coverage that protects both our team members while on the job and our customers and their property should damage occur due to our actions. In short, you’re safe with Vanguard in the house.

4
Does Vanguard offer free plumbing estimates?

This question has two answers – depending on the circumstances. If a customer can share images of the plumbing problem, the workspace and any damage that’s taken place then we can do our best to provide an estimate over the phone. This costs nothing but time on the customer’s part as they need to get the right images and deliver them to us. If that’s an impossibility, we will discuss the costs of an inspection visit before sending a plumber to your property.

5
Do you cover all of Chicagoland?

Not at this time, no. Our extended service area includes a great many of the cities, towns, communities and neighborhoods that make up the Chicago area. This includes just about everything found within the triangle made by the Loop in the south, Evanston in the north and O’Hare in the west – anyone within that section of the city can call Vanguard when they need world-class plumbing services at clear prices. Not sure if you’re in our service area? Just reach out and we’ll let you know!
