Let’s be honest: finding a reliable Evanston plumber shouldn’t feel like a high-stakes gamble. Whether you’re staring at a pool of water in your basement or dealing with that one faucet that just won’t stop dripping, you need more than a generic “handyman.” You need a crew that knows the literal DNA of North Shore architecture. At Lifetime Plumbing, we’ve spent years getting our hands dirty in the unique infrastructure of Evanston—from the cranky, century-old pipes in the Lakeshore Historic District to the sleek, modern setups in new West Evanston developments.
Here’s the thing: Evanston isn’t just another Chicago suburb. Between the tricky water pressure dynamics near the University and the high water table coming off Lake Michigan, our local plumbing requires a specialized touch. As your go-to for Evanston plumbing services, we don’t just show up with a pipe wrench and a bill. We bring over a decade of local experience and a reputation for being the most dependable firm in town. We’ve picked up our share of industry awards along the way, but our real win is being the first call our neighbors make when things go sideways.
Plumbing disasters have a nasty habit of picking the worst possible timing—usually 3 AM on a sub-zero Tuesday or right as you’re sitting down for a holiday dinner. If you’re staring down a sewer backup or a burst pipe, “waiting until morning” isn’t an option. We provide a 60-minute emergency response right here in Evanston. Since we’re already patrolling the neighborhood, we can get to your door, kill the water main, and start the repair before your floors are ruined.

Our team of licensed, background-checked pros handles the full range of Evanston plumbing services. We know that every house has its own quirks, so we never offer a “one size fits all” band-aid.
Living this close to Lake Michigan means groundwater is a constant battle. We specialize in high-output sump pump installs and fail-safe battery backups. If your pump hasn’t been looked at in five years, you’re rolling the dice on the next big storm.
Whether you want to reclaim space with a tankless “on-demand” system or just need a reliable 50-gallon tank that won’t die on you in December, we’ve got you covered. We make sure every gas line and vent is up to current Evanston safety codes so you can sleep easy.
Those gorgeous trees that make Evanston beautiful? They’re the #1 enemy of your sewer line. We use high-def camera inspections to see exactly what’s clogging your pipes, followed by hydro-jetting to clear the way without tearing up your lawn.
You don’t have to wait for a flood to call an Evanston plumber. If you’re gutting a kitchen in a vintage condo or just want a bathroom that feels like a spa in your Victorian home, we bring the precision needed to marry modern fixtures with old-school plumbing.
Forget spending hours vetting random listings on the internet. Choose the Evanston plumbing services provider that has been proving their worth in this community since 2016. We’re big on transparency—upfront quotes, no hidden “service fees,” and a satisfaction guarantee that we actually stand behind.
