About Us

What Plumbing Repairs Do We Handle?

Our Rockford plumbing team is fully equipped to repair any plumbing issue, including:

  • Leaky Faucets & Pipes: From dripping faucets to hidden pipe leaks, we locate the source and provide lasting repairs. Pipe leaks inside walls or under slabs require specialized detection equipment, we find them quickly and fix them before water damage spreads. Faucet and fixture leaks often seem minor but waste thousands of gallons annually and drive up water bills.

  • Clogged or Slow Drains: Slow or clogged drains disrupt your daily routine and can indicate deeper problems in your plumbing system. We clear kitchen sink clogs caused by grease and food debris, bathroom drain blockages from hair and soap buildup, and main sewer line obstructions from tree roots or deteriorating pipes. Our professional equipment removes clogs completely without damaging your pipes.unlike chemical drain cleaners that can corrode plumbing over time.

  • Water Heater Repairs & Replacements: When your water heater fails, you notice immediately. We repair failing heating elements, faulty thermostats, leaking tanks, and malfunctioning pressure relief valves. If your water heater is beyond repair, we'll recommend replacement options that match your household's needs and budget.

  • Toilet & Fixture Repairs: Running toilets, weak flushing, constant clogs, and leaks around the base all signal problems that waste water and money. We replace worn flappers and fill valves, repair flush mechanisms, fix leaks, and address chronic clogging issues.

  • Burst Pipe & Emergency Plumbing Services: Corroded pipes, frozen and burst pipes, and deteriorating galvanized plumbing all require professional attention. We locate the shutoff valve, stop the leak, and make emergency repairs to restore water service. For older homes with widespread pipe problems, we offer partial or whole-house repiping with modern materials that last decades.

  • Sump Pump & Garbage Disposal Issues: Jammed disposals, strange noises, leaking connections, and units that won't turn on are common issues we resolve quickly. We repair what's fixable and recommend replacement when a disposal has reached the end of its service life.

What are the Common Signs You Need Plumbing Repair

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to major damage and costly repairs. Our technicians can inspect, diagnose, and fix the issue before it turns into an emergency. If you notice any of these warning signs, don't wait, call Gilley's for professional diagnosis and repair:

  • Low Water Pressure: Low water pressure in sinks or showers often indicates mineral buildup, pipe corrosion, or hidden leaks restricting water flow.

  • Gurgling Sounds: Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets suggest venting problems or partial blockages in your drain lines that need professional attention.

  • Unexplained Water Bill Increases: If your water bills are climbing without explanation, you likely have a hidden leak wasting water and money.

  • Damp Spots on Walls or Flooring: Damp spots, water stains, or soft spots in walls and floors indicate active leaks that can cause serious structural damage if left unrepaired.

  • Slow Draining Sinks or Foul Smells: Slow drainage and sewage odors point to clogs or sewer line problems that will only get worse without professional cleaning.
